At the International AKKA Karate USA, Texas/New
Mexico/Mexico we are always trying to look to the future for the on growing
needs of self-defense for the public. The times for just one style or one means
of self-defense are the times of the past. Our combined effort of years of study
in different styles has allowed us to systemize what is the best possible way of
a structured self-defense system. This includes stand up and ground fighting
along with reflex, distancing and conditioning with two person forms.
KENPO is the main system taught at our karate schools. It is a self-defense
system, which originated through Ed Parker. For a more thorough look at our
system and its origination, please fill free to see our history link. The Kenpo
system involves close in fighting such as encountered within self-defense,
however, while still maintaining your standing position while fighting.
Occasionally you would take the opponent to the ground within the fight, however
choosing not to join him in a ground fight.
We also teach Chuan Fa Jui-jitsu. This is systematically taught throughout the
Kenpo system. Even though this is not our main focus of study, we do feel that
it is important to understand what to do if you should find yourself on the
ground in a self-defense situation.
Now for the first time available at International AKKA Karate USA the two person
forms of Kojosho are being taught, under the guidance of Grand Master Fred
Absher from Albuquerque New Mexico. This system is designed to teach you
practical self-defense through blocking, punching, kicking and grappling moves within
the forms while practicing with a partner.
