Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo originated in Japan. To practitioners, Kosho Ryu’s Chinese roots are apparent in its basic philosophy. Because Kosho teaches them to look for similarities, they see no substantial difference between Kosho and studies from Korea, Indonesia, China, or America.

All human beings move basically the same way. All motion is related. The same emotions are experienced by all of mankind. Fundamentally, human beings are similar, throughout continents, cultures, and time.

Natural Law

The study of physics is only part of the understanding of Natural Law. Kosho Ryu Kempo-ka also studies the natural laws of our basic individual philosophy. One can understand the physics of both our internal and external structures. Students seek to understand who they are as they relate to others based upon their past experiences and prejudices.

Body movement changes, much like personalities change, based on an individual’s momentary and long-term mind-sets and their physical prejudices. Understanding that both they themselves and potential adversaries are governed by these natural laws. Kempo-ka apply a great many strategies to handle potential conflicts successfully. This is what makes it possible to defeat an opponent without throwing a blow. In fact, it is possible to defeat an opponent by strategically manipulating his ki (mind set in this case). These are based on an understanding of his prejudices, in such a way as to make him decide to never attack you in the first place! Psychology is physics applied to the mind.
