Our Goals

Our purpose in martial arts training is quite traditional: self-development and self-defense.
By self-development we mean working through the challenges of training to improve health and character. By self-defense we mean self-protection in a sudden attack situation, not sport sparring.

Our wider mission is, by example, to improve martial arts standards worldwide.

A kenkyukai is a research organization. We are interested in researching:

1. the history and development of martial arts
2. the culture of the people who developed that from which ours sprang
3. effective technique
4. life principles based on the challenges of martial arts training and the physical arts themselves
