Kensho-Ryu, is a unique and versatile martial art - a
system that utilizes traditional and modern training
methods. The Kensho Ryu practitioner uses the rounded
fluid motions of Chinese Kung Fu,
the focused energy displacement of jiujitsu
and the hard linear strikes of Japanese Karate in order
to implement
self-defense techniques, form exercises and
free-fighting combinations. It is the intention of the
grand masters' lineage that the system remain fluid and
street effective. All training in Kensho Ryu, is taught
with an eye on giving the practitioner the means of
defending themselves in the street. Mass attack with
both open hand and weapons is the emphasis of advanced
training. In addition, Kensho Ryu is a
complete Kobudo system with emphasis on Okinawan and
Japanese weaponry including the bo, kama, sai, tonfa,
ekku, nunchaku, bokken, katana, naginata, koboton and yari.
Extensive self defense training against knife, club, gun
and improvised weaponry is the focus of the modern weapons training.
Kensho Ryu is the largest Kenpo Karate organization on
the East coast with 18 schools throughout the United
States. As members of the World Martial Arts Federation,
Kensho Ryu practitioners are affiliated with 68 other
schools in a network of seminars, workshops,
demonstrations and tournaments. In fact, Kensho Ryu is
the home of several International and World martial arts
champions, with one as young as seven years old.
KENSHO-RYU FOR CHILDREN
Kensho-Ryu, provides many
different reasons why children should study Karate.
Concerned parents become tired of seeing their
youngsters being abused and intimidated by the
school-yard bullies. Many physicians, teachers, and
counselors recommend Karate, as a way to help youngsters
achieve greater social, physical, mental, and emotional
growth.
Children who are clumsy,
overweight, awkward, or "all arms and legs," develop
agility, grace, coordination, and a positive self image
through Karate's physical and mental training. As Karate
skills develop, self-confidence is greatly increased
until, finally, the school-yard bullies look for someone
else less confident and self-assured to pick on.
Confident children do not become victims.
Children are different and
some youngsters advance more quickly than others. But,
at Kensho-Ryu, our main goal is to ensure that all
children are ultimately successful and thus benefit from
our program.
KENSHO-RYU FOR TEENS
For many teens,
Kensho-Ryu, provides a social "club" atmosphere that is
a positive, healthy alternative to the sometimes
undesirable peer pressure placed on today's youth. The
desire to excel in Karate, motivates teens to attend
classes regularly, where they meet and become friends
with other positive thinking, achieving people.
Karate, teaches discipline
and the ability to control oneself, mentally and
physically. These traits are indispensable in helping
teens to resist the drug abuse, alcohol, and juvenile
delinquency that so many of today's youths are involved
with.
A strong interest in
Karate, can greatly help teenagers to bridge the gap
between childhood and maturity. This transition is a
difficult time for many youngsters. The experience at
Kensho-Ryu, is designed to provide a rewarding
atmosphere where teenagers can grow and mature in a
healthy way.
KENSHO-RYU FOR WOMEN
Women are rightly
concerned about being assaulted, and they should be.
More and more women are finding Kensho-Ryu, to be the
key to personal security and confidence. The self
defense skills and knowledge developed at Kensho-Ryu,
gives women the capability to stand up to any situation
without fear.
The flexibility exercises,
combined with the kicking and punching of Karate
workouts also provide an excellent tone-up and weight
control program that is far more interesting than most
of the "do it over and over" exercise formats that often
bore us and allow us to fail. Karate workouts also
provide an excellent release from the stress and
frustrations that build up in us all.
KENSHO-RYU FOR MEN
Sometimes the pressure,
responsibilities, and stress of the day-to-day living
can really take their toll. Kensho-Ryu, has provided
thousands of men a healthy way to "blow off steam" and
get in great physical shape at the same time. New-found
stamina, confidence, and a "take-on-the-world"
enthusiasm are achieved along with the development of
Karate skills.
The ability to defend
oneself and one's family is an important asset to any
man at any age. Knowing that you are not vulnerable is a
tremendous feeling. Kensho-Ryu, can provide men with a
program that will help them gain this valuable
knowledge.
