The 3 key elements to Kiaido Ryu Martial Arts...

Our emphasis on the three components of Kiaido Ryu - Self Defense, Internal Arts and Self Mastery - provides all our students with real tools that they can apply to all areas of their lives for high levels of personal success and fulfillment.

Self Defense

Our comprehensive Self Defense syllabus gives you real skills and strategies that work regardless of your age or physical ability. Kiaido Ryu has a traditional martial arts base that also incorporates the most effective skills and techniques from many self defense arts both ancient and modern.

Skills taught at every level of our progressive syllabus, from White Belt to the Advanced levels of Black Belt, cover all types and ranges of attack/defense skills and include: modern street defense techniques, the five levels of traditional Kata, (both empty hand and weapons forms), and their applications. These incorporate reactive flinch response, gross motor movement skills, striking, kicking, grappling, joint locking, throws and takedowns, small circle jiu jitsu principles, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).
The effectiveness of all the the above Self Defence skills are greatly enhanced by extensive training in the five levels of Kata application, and basic and advanced Pressure Point Self Defence, (Kyusho Jitsu and Tuite Jitsu). This aspect of our art utilizes the same pressure points and meridians that are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, and Acupuncture.
Students are also taught a complete martial arts weapons syllabus which includes: Bo (staff), Jo, Tonfa, Nunchaku, Sai, Katana (sword), and the Philipine Stickfighting arts of Modern Arnis and Arnis Mati.
In addition to physical Self Defence techniques, you will learn and develop: strategies and tactics, fear management skills, psychological self defense, confidence, self discipline and self esteem.
Kiaido Ryu has an open-minded philosophy of growth and continuous improvement in every area of our curriculum. This philosophy, combined with our active involvement in the international martial arts community, means that we are always in touch with the latest developments and innovations. Students of Kiaido Ryu learn one of the most comprehensive and progressive martial arts systems in the world. The routines in this element of our art also promote whole-brain learning.

Internal Arts

The internal aspect of Kiaido Ryu teaches traditional and time honored Pressure Points and Ki Energy Techniques for health and well-being. This includes breathing, centering, progressive relaxation, meditation, Qigong (energy work) exercises, energy restoration, and pressure point first aid.

This holistic approach to health and well-being contains many practical techniques for energy restoration, pain relief, and enhances healing of yourself and others. Students have the opportunity to learn many of these techniques in classes, camps and seminars.

Our martial arts training program and Qigong exercises develop your internal strength and energy levels. This has health and energy benefits that compliment every other sport or activity that you do.

Warriors Wisdom - Self Mastery

Based on martial art philosophy and the development of human potential, our Warriors Wisdom program is the Self Mastery aspect of our art. It gives students the knowledge and skills to apply martial arts philosophy for personal growth in all areas of their lives. You learn how to apply your thinking to better realize your goals, develop your skills and talents, develop your imagination and creativity, and to truly fulfill your potential.

Students learn to identify and develop their unique skills and talents, to improve their concentration and focus, to eliminate fears and limitations from their lives, and they build their self esteem.
Kiaido Ryu instructors know that their role is not to create followers but to develop leaders, to help students really tap into their personal power, to give them the courage and skills to pursue their goals with creative vision and passion. Our intent is to empower students with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to walk their own path to fulfillment.
