Welcome,
Friends
I created Defensive
Arts Plus so that the serious martial artist could have
a place to learn true self defense. Kosho Shorei Ryu teaches
not merely a collection of techniques, but the principles
which allow its students to apply them to any situation.
These basic principles are known as natural law, and are
universal constants, which transcend "styles" or "systems".
Whether you are an experienced martial artist, or a newcommer
to the martial arts, Kosho Ryu can enhance your ability
to deal with attacks, whether they be physical or otherwise.
If you are merely
looking for a place where you can put a belt on and find
people to profess your skills to boost your ego, you have
found the wrong place. If you are looking for a place with
an environment for learning, where self improvement is the
paramount concern, then I would like to train with you.
This art deals with more than just learning how to beat
up people. You will learn how to help people with traditional
Japanese healing arts, and how to calm your inner self with
brush calligraphy as well. We don't merely teach people
how to destroy, and then tell them to only use those skills
when necessary. We show you how to deal with the attacker
with the most appropriate level of force. This is the great
inspiration that a Japanese warrior monk had, sitting under
an old pine tree 750 years ago. True self defense!
