4 WEEK INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Yamagawa Budo website. 

Yamagawa Budo is an official branch of the Fudoshin Ryu. It was formed by Darren Ball after being apprenticed to his father, Tony Ball, for 32 years. After achieving the rank of Fudoshin Master, the rank of 5th Dan, and being awarded the title of Shihan (Model Teacher), Darren formed the Yamagawa Budo.

We currently train in various locations around metropolitan Melbourne, as well as run courses, workshops, and seminars in traditional Japanese Budo around the country, and internationally in Japan.

  • It is not, what is commonly termed, an MMA (Mixed Martial Art) system or Freestyle, as we train in only the traditional aspects of each style. The best way to view the Fudoshin Ryu is a well-balanced education in various traditional Japanese Martial Arts whereby each discipline is studied together in an integrated syllabus rather than separate classes.
  • ​In Japanese, this is known as a Sogo Bugei.... More
