Kodokan JudoIn the East in the late 19th century, the practical need for hand-to-hand fighting skills was declining, and the martial arts tradition was in danger of dying out. Dr. Jigaro Kano, a Jujitsu instructor, created the sport of Judo, or "The Gentle Way," from the combat art of Jujitsu. Kodokan Judo features techniques of grappling, throwing, locking, and choking which turn an opponent's strength and balance against him or her. It is sometimes called a "physical form of chess." While Judo is very popular today as a competitive sport, Kyodai focuses more on the art's practical applications. Kyodai Judo incorporates elements of karate and jujitsu and teaches the most fundamental techniques necessary to self-defense. |

Kung Fu Kempo |
In the 15th century, Shaolin Temple monks in China took their martial art Chuan-fa (Kung Fu) to a monastery in Japan, where they kept their fighting secrets concealed for hundreds of years. Chuan-Fa translates into "Way of the Fist"; in Japan, the word for "Way of the Fist" is "Kempo." In 1936, Kung Fu Kempo was taken from Japan to Hawaii, where its dissemination to the outside world began. Kung Fu Kempo focuses on several aspects of combat, including the use of multiple countering techniques to the same body area; basing a strategy on an opponents reaction to your action; and the importance of hand speed. The greatest emphasis on Kung Fu Kempo is self-defense. Practical maneuvers and vulnerable-area strikes are stressed in preparation for situations likely to be encountered outside the dojo. |
