JIU JITSU
I GO RYU JIU JITSU
I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts style that focuses on the fundamental principles of human biomechanics and physics. Our approach establishes a solid foundation for various martial arts techniques, including throwing, submissions, and grappling. Students from diverse martial arts backgrounds are welcomed, and we assist them in refining their existing techniques by addressing biomechanical issues and correcting bad habits.
Contrary to popular belief, the name of our style is not derived from Igor’s name broken into parts, although we like the theory! The name “I Go” originates from an Asian chess game played with white and black stones on a grid-like board. The objective is to surround the opponent’s stones and remove them from the board. Similarly, the methodology of I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu aims to equip practitioners with superior technical, mental, and physical skills to outmatch their opponents.
Given Igor’s training under Master Taka, I Go Ryu Jiu Jitsu naturally draws inspiration from the teachings of esteemed masters such as Rickson Gracie and Takamasa Watanabe.
