About Koryu.com
Koryu.com offers the very best in accurate, authoritative, and complete information about the classical Japanese martial arts. We are dedicated to providing only the very highest quality of well-researched, verifiable material.
Founded in 1996 by Diane and Meik Skoss, Koryu.com (formerly Koryu Online) is a production of Koryu Books, publisher of quality information on the classical Japanese martial arts. The information included on this site and in our publications is based on our decades of personal experience training and researching in Japan.
Koryu.com was created to help answer questions we've been hearing more and more often recently:
- What do koryu, kobudo, and kobujutsu mean? (see "Classical Martial Arts & Ways", "A Bit of Background" and "What is koryu bujutsu?" in our "Frequently Asked Questions" list).
- Where can I get more information on the classical martial arts and ways of Japan? (check out Koryu Bujutsu: Classical Warrior Traditions of Japan, Sword & Spirit, Keiko Shokon, "A Koryu Primer","What is a 'Ryu'?", and "Sighting the Grizzly").
- How do I know if a person is truly a qualified instructor of the Japanese classical martial arts? (see "You want koryu?", "Real or Fake?", and "The Classical Martial Arts in the West: Problems in Transmission")
- Where can I find some good books on the Japanese martial arts? (see "A Koryu Primer: Reading List", "The Good Stuff: Recommended Reading" and our "Book Reviews").
Beginning with Koryu.com, the first Internet resource devoted to these topics, Koryu Books is embarking on its goal to provide you with only the most impeccable information.
