Kukishinden Tenshin Hyoho Sojutsu

My name is James Russel "Russ" Ebert. I was born in 1971 in Portland, Oregon and currently I am a U.S. expatriate living in Japan.


I started my martial arts journey in 1984-85 when I started Sosuishiryu in Oregon City, Oregon. After 16 years of study, I decided I should branch out and I started studying Shinto Muso Ryu Jo. Eventually, my path led me to Japan where I now study Sosuishi ryu, Shinto Muso Ryu, Owari Tenshin Koryu Kempo, Kukishinden Tenshin Hyoho and Hoten Ryu. This may seem like a lot, but the last four budo I study are under the same teacher, so I am not Dojo hopping or bogging myself down too much.

I'm married and the father of three. I live a quiet life as an English teacher in the Aichi and Mie prefectures of Japan. I havetwo websites up about the two of the martial arts I study and an account at YouTube, where I post many videos about the martial arts and Japanese cultural events. My websites are:

Sosuishitsuryu: http://www.sosuishitsuryu.com

The Organization for Preserving Kukishinden http://www.kukishinden.org

My YouTube account is: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mekugi

I also run a organization based in Japan doing international trade and selling martial arts and books on the internet. I won't hyperlink here, but my company is called Futago Trader.
