As a style, Kempo Karate is a method of teaching self defense by developing physical strength, good health and disciplined mind.

As a Kempo Karate student, you become an effective positive force in society and relize your own personal goals sooner.

As a technical format, Kempo Karate is a balance of hard (goho) and soft (juho) techniques.  Hard Karate and Kung-fu techniques include block and counter skills, while soft techniques include Ju Jitsu and Judo for doing locks, throws and takedowns.

As a school, Kenshusei Martial Arts promotes the diligent study and practice of both Karate and Kung-fu.  Kenshusei is a Japanese term representative of special students who obtain the most advanced training in martial Arts.  Students are taught according to their own abilities, and a consistent improvement is their aim.  The anticipated result is that all students of Kenshusei will exemplify more advance achievements of techniques and mental strategies in a shorter period of time. In order to facilitate such immediate and effective results, all students are expected to possess a strong desire (hunger) to learn, and to engage in a consistent training programme of 2-3 classes per week.

As a symbol, Kenshusei’s school crest means “The Art of War” in Chinese and stems from an ancient Chinese treatise written by Sun Tzu 2500 years ago.  This symbol epitomizes the mental attitude that one must attempt to win without battle, loss or injury, whether in war, self defense, business or in academic activities.  For total victory, one must have knowledge of, and be able to use strategic planning to force the enemy to give up or retreat.  This is the essence of training at Kenshusei Martial Arts.

As a school motto, “Shu Sho Ichi Nyo” means “practice and satori (enlightenment) are not two.”

As a total learning experience, Kempo Karate is a weaponless Martial Arts style with a direct means of mastering oneself.  The end result being individuals who seek to perfect mind and body to the fullest in order to create a better society.
