Kensho-Ryu, is a unique and versatile martial art - a system that utilizes traditional and modern training methods. The Kensho-Ryu practitioner uses the rounded fluid motions of Chinese Kung Fu, the focused energy displacement of jujitsu and the hard linear strikes of Japanese Karate in order to implement self-defense techniques, form exercises and free-fighting combinations.

It is the intention of the grand masters' lineage that the system remain fluid and street effective. All training in Kensho-Ryu, is taught with an eye on giving the practitioner the means of defending themselves in the street. Mass attack with both open hand and weapons is the emphasis of advanced training. In addition, Kensho Ryu is a complete Kobudo system with emphasis on Okinawan and Japanese weaponry including the bo, kama, sai, tonfa, ekku, nunchaku, bokken, katana, naginata, koboton and yari. Extensive self defense training against  knife, club, gun and improvised weaponry is the focus of the modern weapons training.

Kensho Ryu is the largest Kenpo Karate organization on the East coast with 18 schools throughout the United States. As members of the World Martial Arts Federation, Kensho Ryu practitioners are affiliated with 68 other schools in a network of seminars, workshops, demonstrations and tournaments. In fact, Kensho Ryu is the home of several International and World martial arts champions, with one as young as seven years old.
