Ryukyu Kempo is a well-rounded martial art, encompassing studies of Traditional Chinese Medicine including Chi (Qi), Yin\Yang, 12 meridians, 5 elements and acupressure points. This is what elevates Ryukyu Kempo to an art, a way of life, and thus the ultimate in self-defense. 

Students will study the techniques of Kyusho-Jitsu (the pressure point striking techniques of Ryukyu Kempo) and Tuite-jitsu (a set of grappling, locking, and escape techniques) as well as kata (form) and the concepts of Bunkai. The application of fighting techniques extracted from the moves of a kata.
