WELCOME
Welcome to the website for the Godaiko Jodokai, the Five Great Lakes Jodo Association. We study jojutsu, the way of the stick, as taught by Kaminoda Tsunemori Sensei and as practiced by his successors at the Nihon Jodokai.
The Godaiko Jodokai holds practices Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:15 – 8:45 pm at the studios of TNT Performance (12675 W Townsend St, Brookfield WI).
Contact: info@godaikojodokai.com or kgkfudoshin@gmail.com for more information.
The chief instructor of the Godaiko Jodokai is Rich Friman. A direct student of Kaminoda Sensei, Rich received Gomokoroku in Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo.
Other groups who practice Shindo Muso Ryu as taught by Kaminoda Sensei can be found in Washington, DC (Capital Area Jodokai) and Portland, Oregon (Rose City Shindokai) both under the direction of Dan Pearson; and in Denton, Texas (Denton Dojo) under the direction of Jack Bieler.
If you are interested in training in the Southeast Wisconsin area or want information on how to train with these other groups, please feel free to contact us.
