I am looking for help. I am trying to name my unique style of Mixed Martial Arts that pays homage to the traditional Japanese martial arts. I am looking for a traditional style name that reflects Inyo and knowing the right time to let out the inner beast. I was thinking of using Raiju because the beast is known for being gentle until agitated. The school will incorporate Bushido (code of conduct, maintaining honor). A name that reflects and ideas for a school/dojo logo would be helpful.
 
The name for a gym or dojo (i.e. a physical place) should end in specific words that evoke a physical edifice (堂 or 庵 or 館, etc.).
The name for a style, or school (of thought), like expressionism or cubism, should end in words that point in that direction (like 流 or 派 or 術, etc.). Jutsu, like ninjutsu or jujutsu (jujitsu), is the suffix for a lot of martial arts.

I'm not familiar with Raiju, but I guess it's this 雷獣? (Lightning beast) - so you might use 雷獣術 (Raijū-jutsu) if you are heading in that direction. That would mean "Art/Technique of the Raijū". A thought I had was that you could borrow from the "crouching tiger" theme, and use "crouching beast" 臥獣術 (Gajū-jutsu).
 
That is very helpful. Yes Raiju is lightning beast. I Like Raijū-jutsu or Raijū-do (if that is the correct use). Thank you for your input.
