KoKoDo JuJutsu
Founder and Headmaster Soke Yasuhiro Irie
The Legacy of Soke Irie Yasuhiro
In 1969, Irie Yasuhiro stepped through the doors of the Hakkoryu Ju-Jutsu Headquarters, beginning an extraordinary journey under the direct guidance of Shodai Soke Okuyama Ryuho.
For over two decades, he served as Head Instructor, where his devotion and mastery became the heartbeat of the Hombu. Generations of practitioners from across North America and beyond traveled to Japan, seeking his instruction. To them, Irie was not only a teacher, but the living embodiment of Hakkoryu’s spirit.
After years of cultivating skillful Shihan worldwide, Irie Soke followed a personal calling. In 1995, he founded his own art — KoKoDo Ju-Jutsu, “The Imperial Light Way Gentle Art.” Rooted in the dignity of traditional Budo, KoKoDo radiates elegance, refinement, and depth. From its So Hombu Dojo, the art has blossomed into a truly international legacy, with over 30 chapters spanning 12 countries.
What sets KoKoDo apart is its rare harmony of tradition and accessibility. Each waza is presented with clarity, free from bias, and crafted so that even beginners may experience its brilliance. Yet beneath this approachability lies the essence of Soke Irie himself — his refined movement, his personal touch, and his unwavering logic.
To study KoKoDo is to engage directly with the spirit of its founder — a living art that is both timeless and contemporary, elegant in form and profound in substance.
