ABOUT Ryukyu Kempo
Ryukyu Kempo is a style of martial arts that focuses on traditional instruction. It is a well-rounded style that encompasses different studies that many of the modern styles practiced today consider both old-fashioned and irrelevant.
However, these practices are extremely relevant, because they are what elevates Ryukyu Kempo to an art and a way of life, and make it an effective style of self-defense.
While many other styles of martial arts also state that they teach self-defense, Ryukyu Kempo is the only one to tech the grappling art known as Tuite and the nerve point techniques that are called Kyusho Jitsu.
Tuite, which translates to "Grab-Hand" techniques, focuses on the concept that all bodies are weak in the same ways. Everyone has nerves, joints, tendons, and muscles that respond in specific ways to stress and certain types of pressure. Ryukyu Kempo's grappling arts work to exploit these weaknesses, so that students are able to defend themselves against attackers of all sizes.
Kyosho Jitsu, which translates to "Vital Point" techniques, are the different striking techniques of Ryukyu Kempo that are some of the most sophisticated strikes in the style. When they are properly used against specific anatomical points of an individual's nervous and circulatory systems, students are able to temporarily disable their opponent so that they are unable to retaliate.
