  STEFANO SURACE

10th dan Menkyo Kaiden, the current world Doyen of Grandmasters of Ju Jitsu.

First Occidental to be gratified of the 10th dan in Ju Jitsu.

This was the first time that the highest official graduate of a Japanese Martial Art was not a Japanese but an Occidental.

The Japon Budo Federation Seibukan officially expressed to

Jacques Chirac decorated him for «his merits of journalist, of writer, of teacher of the young people and of creator of champions, who as made reappear in Paris the Japanese art of authentic high level Ju Jitsu, which is part of the universal inheritance but that by then was estimated lost even in Japan».

Famous journalist of investigation and opinion, whose certain «impossible» investigations are engraved in the memory of world journalism and have made qualify him «civil hero», he is now the only holder of the knowledge of Grandmasters of Butokukai.

Its teaching and its example, highly ethics and techniques, are spread in the whole world.

The Dai Nippon Butokukai was the Imperial Martial Virtue Association until the end of WW2.

The best masters of the 11 most important Ju Jitsu schools were brought together there and were in charge of elaborating a synthesis of the most efficient techniques of each school.

Particularly rational and structured, this «supreme method» was only taught to a selected elite which refused to ensure its diffusion after 1945, for the sake of coherence with its Japanese traditional ethics.

By an exceptional combination of circumstances detailed in book «La plume et la main vide» («The feather and the empty hand», available in French), the last holder of this method is now Stefano Surace.

And in 1988 decided to start teaching in order to preserve his knowledge who is part of the universal patrimony.

Hi thus made reappear the most level of Ju Jitsu, which seemed disappeared.

Its famous techniques of higher Ju Jitsu, making possible to neutralize in a nonviolent way an attacker even very violent, are very formative for young people end providential for the police force, avoiding many disadvantages to them.

Four of its pupils gained the Ju Jitsu World Cup - free fights without categories of weight being held on hard ground (and thus without tatami) - in 1993, 1994, 1997 et 1994 : Nicourt, Grillot, Stoppa, Perier.

The directory of international organizations, qualifies the IJJF as «the world-leading organization for all styles of Japanese Ju-Jitsu based martial arts».

«The IJJF establishes training in the original ancient styles of Japanese Ju-Jitsu, including unarmed self-defence, and cultivates the spiritual values of Japan, including the Buddhist underpinning; it carries out scientific research on the physical and mental aspects of the ju-jitsu.»

One-year prior to his teacher’s passing, while receiving his Sandan, he was imparted these words: «Welcome aboard.

How does it feel to be a servant to mankind for the rest of your life?»

Grandmaster Crimi has been teaching Martial Arts i.e. Karate and DanZan Ryu Jujutsu for the past 36 years, 28 of those years have been spent teaching Hikari Ryuza Ryu Jujutsu®.
