The Headquarters of the SJJK  is the record center for complete and accurate files of all administrative matters pertaining to and concerning Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu.  The files contain the names, locations and districts of all Sosuishi-ryu Dojo, Branch and District representatives, members names, grading achievements, etc.

ALL MEMBERS receive a “Certificate of Membership”  and ALL BLACK BELTS receive certificates of promotion from Master Shitama in Japan as well.

Although many claim to hold grades in Sosuishi-ryu very few actually do. The Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu Kai prides itself in maintaining quality not quantity.

Anyone interested in Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu as passed down from father to son since 1650 may contact the Seibukan Dojo, the Headquarters for the Sosuishi-ryu Jujutsu Kai- for the name(s) and location(s) of legitimate, recognized instructors, and to inquire about membership.
