Welcome to the Official site for the Carter family jujitsu system, Nyingbulam
Welcome to the world of Nyingbulam, a unique martial arts discipline that combines the principles of the Buddhist Eightfold Path, universal dharma, mindfulness, compassion, and non-violence.
Founded in 2001, art embodies the principles of mindfulness, compassion, and self-improvement. Led by Nyingbu Wangdue, the Head of Family for the ryu, this unique style of jujitsu emphasizes the integration of combat techniques with a compassionate mindset. With its motto, “Where Combat Meets Compassion,” Nyingbulam Jujitsu aims to provide practitioners with a holistic approach to self-defense and personal growth.
At the core of Nyingbulam Jujitsu is the belief that martial arts should not only focus on physical techniques but also on developing a compassionate mindset. The art encourages practitioners to approach combat situations with a mindful defense and a compassionate offense. This means that while defending oneself, practitioners are taught to be aware of their surroundings and the potential consequences of their actions. They are trained to use their skills to neutralize threats without causing unnecessary harm.
Often referred to as “The Protectors Art,” Nyingbulam Jujitsu equips practitioners with a wide range of techniques, including striking, throwing, joint manipulation, and pressure points. These techniques are taught in a way that emphasizes control and precision, ensuring that practitioners can effectively defend themselves while minimizing harm to their opponents. By focusing on the perfection of self through the perfection of the art, Nyingbulam Jujitsu aims to cultivate a sense of empathy and compassion within its practitioners.
Situational awareness is a key aspect of Nyingbulam Jujitsu. Practitioners are trained to be constantly aware of their surroundings, anticipating potential threats and responding accordingly. This heightened awareness not only enhances their ability to defend themselves but also allows them to assess situations with compassion. By understanding the motivations and intentions of others, practitioners can respond in a way that de-escalates conflicts and promotes peaceful resolutions.
Compassion is not only emphasized in combat situations but also in everyday life. Nyingbulam Jujitsu encourages practitioners to extend their compassionate mindset beyond the dojo and into their interactions with others. By practicing empathy and understanding, practitioners strive to create a positive impact on their communities and promote harmony.
The philosophy of Nyingbulam Jujitsu revolves around the idea that the art is a means of self-improvement. Through the rigorous training and discipline required, practitioners aim to perfect themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. By continuously striving for excellence in their techniques and embodying the principles of compassion, practitioners of Nyingbulam Jujitsu seek to become better versions of themselves.
Nyingbulam Kazoku (Family)
Soke – Head of Family
Senpai Soke – “Senior” Head of Family (successor-to-be for soke)
Kohai Soke – “Junior” Head of Family (successor-to-be for senpai soke)
The soke(s) main role(s) are to lead the art and protect its traditions, to be the final authority on matters concerning the art, to issue or approve licenses and certificates and, in some cases, to instruct the most advanced practitioners.
The title of soke is hereditary and is transmitted by direct line, or by adoption. Once the “successor-to-be” is officially recognized.
Officially recognized teachers that hold the position of soke obtain a license to teach from the former soke, signifying the soke’s trust that the so-licensed person is capable and qualified to faithfully pass on the arts teachings. Students must also acquire licenses or certificates at various stages in their study. These certificates either give the student permission to study at a particular level or affirm that the student has achieved a given level of mastery. It is also the soke who authorizes, selects and bestows ceremonial names for advanced practitioners.

- Rights over instructors, over initiation rituals and documents and over the awarding of diplomas and licenses.
