Fukasa-Ryu Kempo-Jutsu

Kempo, or Fist Law, is an elaborate Japanese blocking and striking system that was designed to function alone or in concert with throwing systems such as Ju-Jutsu and Aikido. In the case of Fukasa-Ryu, Ju-Jutsu borrows its atemi (strikes), from Kempo-Jutsu. Kempo-Jutsu’s techniques of blocking and striking allows one to enter into their opponent’s space by parrying, deflecting, and moving at obliques, avoiding an attacker’s strikes. This “opens the door” for limitless possibilities.

The training in Kempo-Jutsu focuses primarily on the efficient retaliation against attacks which are uncontrived. There are no katas, (memorized sequences), in Kempo. Practicing this art entails drilling blocks and strikes for proper technique, speed and power, and then applying it against a variety of opponents and situations.
