Objective

The objective of the Kosho Ryu Kempo-ka is to be able to relate to everything, abandon prejudices, and thus rid conflict from life. Conflict is usually created from differences of opinion pertaining to physical or philosophical prejudices. Once you eliminate conflict (emotional or physical) and understand laws and principles, you learn to see yourself as the root of all of your conflict.

Once the source of conflict is known, it can be eliminated. Happiness is the result. Kempo-ka become content, able to harmonize with and accept life’s events, and able to control their environment. Once you learn to control yourself and your environment, controlling or redirecting an attacker is possible as well.

Kempo

While Kempo literally translates from Japanese as “Fist Law,” its meaning can be traced back to what is called the mudra, which are hand postures. Each of kempo’s hand postures represent both the physical and the spiritual realm. These realms are inexorably linked. Kempo itself is an entity. It is not a style of martial arts or a form of techniques.
