The Anglo Japanese Ju-jutsu and Martial Arts Association was started in 1901 by Sadakazu Uyenishi. He was a Japanese master who was invited to England to join Yukio Otani who had arrived the previous year at the invite of Mr Barton Wright, who himself spent some time in Japan studying Ju-Jutsu. Both men toured the music halls taking on all comer's in five minute matches for fifty pounds, a huge sum of money at that time.
Mr Uyenishi never lost a bout! He opened his own Dojo (training way hall) in 31 Golden Square, London after both he and Yukio Otani left Mr Barton Wright, in 1902. Thus the Anglo Japanese is the oldest Judo and Martial Arts Association in the UK. As a matter of interest Mr Uyenishi (known as Raku) had a training partner Mr Omo Maeda who after a short time in the UK embarked for Brazil where he started the Gracie School.

The Kangami Biraki course is held each year to signify the beginning of the new year and gives everyone the chance to show their support to our organisation whilst at the same time being able to train with the highest grades within the organisation. Well this year we are not going to be undone and will be running the course online with some of our most Senior instructors teaching.
