The San Yama
Bushi Ryu and San Yama Bushi School of Judo and Ju-Jutsu was formally
introduced in 1985 by Shihan Hector Negron. Shihan Negron began his martial
arts training in Puerto Rico at the age of 12, studying Kempo Karate. In 1971,
at the age of 19, he moved from Puerto Rico to the Bronx, New York. After
visiting a number of schools, he encountered Shinan Antonio Pereira and the
Tremont School of Judo and Ju-Jutsu. There he began studying Judo and Ju-Jutsu
under the tutelage of Shinan Pereira, while also continuing to train in Karate.
After diligent and dedicated study, he obtained his black belt in
Ju-Jutsu and began teaching at the school, soon after becoming head Ju-Jutsu
instructor. Soon after, he earned his black belt in Judo and became an active
judo competitor. In 1981 he obtained the rank of Kaiden, and became Head
Instructor of the Ryu (equivalent to 9th/10th Dan) in Miyama Ryu
Ju-Jutsu.
In 1986, Shihan Negron parted from the hombu dojo in the Bronx
and founded his own dojo in Mt. Vernon, New York where he began teaching a more
expansive version of the combat Ju-Jutsu he learned and taught in the Bronx. He
named this new Ryu, San Yama Bushi, meaning "Three Mountain Warrior." As
founder of this new Ryu, the Board of Directors unanimously bestowed upon
Shihan Negron the title of Shinan, meaning "Founder." By 1999, Shinan Negron's
following became such that the need for a new dojo was clearly
at hand. Shinan Negron moved his dojo to New Rochelle, New York where members
of the Ryu now train in a 6,000 square foot dojo.
Today, Shinan Negron
continues to train individuals from every walk of life, from active police
officers whose duties place them in peril, to college students looking to
maintain physical and mental edge over those they may encounter in hostile
situations. |
