Koga Ha Kempo presentation: The Ryu presented the Bio Medical Ethics seminar with emphasis on Medical and Legal implications of the use of Martial Arts and/or Self Defense techniques. The participants are given several Koga Ha Kempo Temple Dance and Escaping Arts patterns and then asked to utilize the wazi that are part of their systems. In addition, the participants are required to execute, at minimum, three distinct and different moves for each series of moves. They were also instructed that no series of moves could be repeated. The purpose for these directions is force the participant to use skills and techniques that are seldom practiced. This type of demand will highlight the participants Habits vs. their Ideas. Congratulations to Menkyo Sensi Baahir Y. Muwakkil from Philadelphia, PA in his successful submission of Master Fred L. LaSala (3 time World Championship Title ISKA, 3 time State Championship, inductee into the Florida Martial Arts Hall of Fame, Wide World of Sports silver medal in a Jujitsu competition and also seen on the Discovery Channel’s documentary, “Extreme Martial Arts"). Menkyo Sensi Muwakkil engaged in a two year study of the fad of Grappling and Submission for his Renshi ranking. Menkyo Sensi Muwakkil is developing an Instructors Manual on the usage of the Koga Ha Kempo traditional systems vs. Grappling and Submission. The final phase of Sensi Muwakkil course was the practical application. Sensi Muwakkil submitted Master Fred LaSala in 20 seconds. Menkyo Sensi has answered that age old question, “what can the Koga Ha Kempo do against a grappler?” The answer, “submit them under a minute.”   | What's New | Grandmaster Hassan | Reflections In The Ryu | | Return Home | Mission, History and Philosophy | Our Crest | Ranking & Curriculum | Great Links | Photos | Video | Contact Us | Research and Development | |
