What is Hojutsu-Ryu?
Hojutsu is the ancient Japanese word for "the Art of Gunnery." As practiced today, Hojutsu-Ryu is the combination of the Modern Technique of the Pistol and traditional Japanese budo. Hojutsu trains in various firearms, including handgun, rifle and shotgun; we also train in unarmed defense, various impact weapons, edged weapons and ground fighting. However, Hojutsu is primarily a shooting art. According to Lt. Col. David Grossman: "I am a graduate of Front Sight, Gun Site, Sig Arms Academy and many military and mil spec ops schools. And this three day Hojutsu class is the best firearms training I have ever experienced. It brought me up to a whole new level of personal performance. Soke Hall is a supernatural shooter. Far and away the best shot I have ever seen. He is a legendary law enforcement officer, Army Ranger, and much more.” Lt. Col. David Grossman is a Retired Army Ranger, Former Instructor at West Point, Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, world's authority on school shootings. In addition to teaching Hojutsu-Ryu, U.S. Family Martial Arts has hosted Soke Jeff Hall, the founder of this art, for firearms seminars in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. |
