UPCOMING SEMINAR!!! Click flyer below to download
Hello All !
We're a martial arts dojo located in Roswell, GA. We're out to learn and teach excellent martial art knowledge, get to know others and what they have to offer, and of course have a good time!
Atlanta Ryukyu Kempo is a school that goes beyond punching, kicking, and competition of that of other schools. The Martial Arts go deeper than many of us know. Many applications of Martial Arts were hidden for years, but have since been brought to the open. It is these applications that make Ryukyu Kempo such an effective combative art.Ryukyu Kempo applications even incorporate into every 'style' of Martial Arts. Every move can be interpreted using acupuncture pressure points and tuite (joint locking) to make the move work in a REAL LIFE application. Our instructors travel over the country and work with other martial artists because we believe training is a life-long journey and you can learn something from everyone.
To Martial Artists and non-Martial Artists , we're open to talk to anyone and share information. Feel free to email and chat about whatever. If you interested in learning more of what we do (dealing mainly with acupuncture pressure points and joint locking) feel free to send an email or come by the school...

Ryukyu Kempo
The concepts of Ryukyu Kempo bridge the gap between styles and aid students in defining their techniques - regardless of style.
Ryukyu Kempo (also known as Chinese Kempo) has been the way of martial arts in Okinawa hundreds of years. This is what martial arts was before the transition into what most people know as 'modern karate'. Ryukyu Kempo is not a 'style' of martial arts like Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shuri-ryu, Tai Kwon Do and the list goes on. Rather, Ryukyu Kempo encompasses Okinawan arts with emphasis on life-protection techniques, regardless of an individual's size. The concepts of Ryukyu Kempo bridge the gap between styles and aid the student in defining his or her techniques, regardless of style. Ryukyu Kempo incorporates many of the same concepts as 'Acupuncture'; dealing with over 300 pressure points of the body , chi flow (also call Qi, Ki, or Bio-electric energy), yin & yang (positive & negative), the 12 bi-lateral body meridians, and the 5 elements (earth, wood, fire, metal, water).
Ryukyu Kempo consists of two areas that are not included in Modern Karate and most other modern Martial Arts:
Kyusho-Jitsu is the pressure point striking of Ryukyu Kempo. To perform a Kyusho-Jitsu technique, a student must be trained in striking a combination of points. Strikes to the proper points - in the correct order, angle, and direction - can disorient, disable, or cause death to an attacker. The map of these pressure point combinations are hidden within Kata. With correct understanding and adequate practice of the techniques contained within Kata, Ryukyu Kempo techniques and combinations can be interpreted.
Tuite ,
or "grab hand". This refers to the grappling and joint manipulations contained
in Ryukyu Kempo. Everyone's body is weak in the same manor. These weaknesses
occur near joints, nerves, tendons, and muscles. Tuite should not be thought of
as an art unto itself. Tuite works in conjunction with Kyusho-Jitsu in that the
pressure points are the keys to releasing the joints attacked by Tuite.
