Nyingbulam is a spiritual form of the martial art Jujutsu[1] consisting of striking, throwing and grappling techniques set upon a Buddhist ethics foundation. The fighting style was developed by sensei Nyingbu Wangdue (Jason W. Carter)[2] in 2001 at his jujitsu studio in Ontario, Canada, derived in part on the teachings of such masters as Yukio Tano (1881-1950, Japan).[3] Jason Carter is the recognized "Head of Family (Soke) [10] [11] for the Ryu (fighting school)" and continues to train others in his techniques.[4] The martial side (Hard Side) of the art was formulated from several styles of Japanese martial arts, Shotokan & Nihon Jujitsu(s), while the spiritual side (Soft Side) comes from traditional Buddhist teachings and texts.
The name Nyingbulam is a combination of Tibetan and Sanskrit words. The name of the art is based upon the founder's Tibetan Kagyu[5] vow name "Nyingje Norbu", which translates to "compassionate jewel". This was then shortened to "Nyingbu" and the word "lam" was added, which translates to "way" in Tibetan, to complete the name Nyingbulam which means: Compassionate Jewel Way.
Founder / Head of Family
Nyingbu Wangdue (Jason W. Carter) was born in Ontario, Canada and is a Buddhist and professional safety instructor. In 2009, was recognized as a "Master Instructor of the Year"[6] at the World Head of Family/Sokeship Council (WHFSC).
The "Hard Side"
The combative side of Nyingbulam draws its techniques from several Japanese martial arts systems. It draws its heavy linear strikes from Shotokan Karate, its throws, ground techniques and pressure points from Nihon Jujutsu. The Japanese based self-defense art of Nyingbulam is an eclectic sampling of ancient and modern techniques of self defense as they were developed in Japan. The martial techniques primarily consist of striking, throwing, joint locking, chocking and pressure point techniques. It is a hard style of Jujitsu which means it uses hard punching, kicking and limb trapping skills to distract an attacker allowing the defender to unbalance the attacker by throwing him to the ground using one of the many throws or sweeps taught in the syllabus. Once the attacker is unbalanced a painful joint lock or pressure point can be applied to control him or he can be rendered ineffective by having the joint dislocated or broken. Other options include further striking techniques, choking into submission or disengagement.
The "Soft Side"
This martial side is deeply blended with a path of practice and spiritual development which leads to insight into the true nature of reality. These practices such as meditation and mindfulness practice are means of changing oneself in order to develop the qualities of awareness, kindness, and wisdom. The tenets of Nyingbulam’s spiritual practice and teachings are straightforward and practical, nothing is fixed or permanent; actions have consequences; change is possible. It teaches students practical methods which enable them to realise and use its teachings in order to transform their experience, to be fully responsible for their lives, their safety and the safety of others around them.
Kata
The Nyingbulam style uses four Kata's, three for the Mudansha ranks and one for the Yudansha rank.
