Koryu Uchinadi

Established as a pragmatic alternative to the plethora of terribly ambiguous and highly dysfunctional styles of "traditional" karate, Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu is a modern interpretation of Okinawa's historic combative-like disciplines. 

A completely systematized, cohesive and coherent method of learning/teaching, delivered in a traditional atmosphere, honoring both its culture and pioneers, Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu is both and art and a science. 

Based on common mechanics and supported by immutable principles, the most unique features of Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu are its vibrant body dynamics, efficacious taisabaki, functional HAPV-theory and application-based two-person drills, which breathe life back into kata.

Resurrecting, and systematizing the original contextual premise of old style karate and kata into an easy-to-learn structure.
