Kosho Ryu KempoKosho Ryu Kempo is a 750 old Japanese Martial Art. It was originally developed by Japanese Warrior Monks. The word Kempo translates to mean "Natural Law". Kosho Ryu Kempo is a refined study of the human body and strategy as it relates to self defense. Studies include empty handed self defense, weaponry, healing arts, philosophy, history, and strategy. The Kosho Ryu practitioner questions everything to find the most efficient method of movement.

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu
Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu was founded by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi to both honor and study the knowledge of his teacher, the legendary figure known as the “Mongolian Tiger,” Toshitsugu Takamatsu. Nine martial lineages were entrusted to Hatsumi more than 60 years ago, each one an authentic warrior tradition tempered by the history of Japan. Bujinkan training is no less a modern resurgence of old-school thought akin to Bushi no michi, “the warrior path”, a broad-minded self-reliant warriorship that studies a range of tactics and strategies aimed at undoing the enemy to protect the life value – oneself, others and if possible, the attacker.
Taijutsu cultivates the development of natural responses. During initial training, larger, stronger, even multiple opponents can be defeated without reliance on brute force, speed or strength. Instead, the student’s instincts of initiative, acuity, and balance are sharpened as tools capable of subduing even the largest adversary at a time of their greatest disadvantage. The art’s principles also provide the foundation for weapons usage, where tactics and strategy are identical whether fighting unarmed or with any number of martial tools. This practicality prompts tens of thousands from around the world, many involved in law enforcement or military operations, to seek out training. The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Defensive Tactics Program have both utilized Taijutsu principles as a basis for their instruction.
