Welcome to Daito-ryu Online

John Goss — January 13^th, 2008

Welcome to Daito-ryu Online. My name is John Goss and I am a direct student of Katsuyuki Kondo Sensei in Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu. I have been involved in budo for nearly four decades. My school in Baltimore, Maryland hosted several of the first seminars in mainline Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu conducted by Kondo Sensei starting in 1997.

I wanted to create this site as my contribution to help fellow students interested in Daito-ryu and as a way to help spread accurate information about this wonderful art in the United States. We have teamed with Aikido Journal and are able to offer an abundance of information on Daito-ryu aikijujutsu from AJ’s extensive archives in addition to our content. We will be constantly updating the website with new information and encourage the submission of blog commentary by anyone in the Daito-ryu community and those interested in the art. We welcome your announcements, information on history, personal experiences, reviews, or any other content relevant to Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu.

Blog contributions will be reviewed and approved prior to posting at the discretion of our editors. Contributions should be in English and observe standard English grammar and punctuation rules.

We look very much forward to serving the Daito-ryu community and assisting in the furtherance of the art in the USA and beyond.
