About our logo:

Literally translated, Koshou Ryu is the School or Style of the Tiger. This is a play on the founder's last name, Cushinan. Therefore, it means the Cushinan School or Style of JiuJitsu.

The core of Koshou Ryu JiuJitsu comes from two main styles of JiuJitsu that it's founder has trained in for many years; Kitsune Ryu JiuJitsu and Budoshin JuJitsu. Both systems are paid the highest respect and reflected in the logo.

The Yawara and JiuJitsu Kanji reflects the Kitsune Ryu JiuJitsu, a modern JiuJitsu system based on several older forms of JiuJitsu. This is also the first JiuJitsu system studied by the founder of Koshou Ryu, which started his path and growth in the martial arts.

The lotus blossom surrounding the Yin-Yang reflects the Budoshin JuJitsu system. The lotus blossom symbolizes the five spiral steps of learning: patience, repetition, understanding, experimentation, and evaluation. The Yin-Yang symbolizes the circular flow of ki and motion, as well as the flowing nature of the art.

The square around the JiuJitsu Kanji represents the four main areas of Koshou Ryu JiuJitsu training: JiuJitsu Self-Defense, Karate, Ground Survival and Weapons. It also represents the four cornerstones of training; Discipline, Integrity, Loyalty and Respect.
