RyukyuKenpo

For close to five decades, the Academy has taught Ryukyu Kenpo Kobujutsu (�� 拳法 �武術), traditional Oriental teachings with modern Western training methods. Full contact Bogu sparring for distancing, timing, power development, angles of attack, and desensitization training is utilized. Proper focus on targets, striking, and body weapons done slowly for memory retention is emphasized. Modern and improvised weapons are taught. It is REAL Karate the kind that was taught before "modern" systems, when advanced students and Masters were FEARED and it was only taught to professionals whose careers dealt with life and death situations in Okinawa, its birthplace. Right! Karate is NOT Japanese! It is Okinawan. It means "China Hand". The Japanese used a Kanji that sounds the same but means 'Sky' to remove its Chinese origins. The Japanese and, in turn, both the Koreans and the Western world turned it into a martial sport that is a joke and inferior to the original in asocial street violence. Our system utilizes the original teachings of Shigeru Nakamura and Seiyu Oyata. This system is designed for adults and mature teens. The training is difficult, dangerous, and demanding. It takes perseverance, high motivation, a good mind, and, an unwillingness to compromise standards. The system teaches violence control and prevention recognizing that "self-defense" is a misnomer utilized to circumvent the ugly truth that it takes violence to stop or repel violence. . This system is not for exercise or sport. The system has been expanded to include the (rare) asocial violence that plagues today's innocents
