A brief history of my family tree showing the beginning in Japan... Kosho Shorei Ryu Kenpo JuJutsu The Yoshida clan in Japan developed Kosho Shorei Ryu circa 1235 AD. This system of fighting was taught both to the monks on the nearby temple of Mount Kinkai and to his samurai as a means of defense in the case of their disarmament. The title Kosho Shorei Ryu means "Old Pine Tree Style" symbolising the many roots that the school has. Kosho Shorei Ryu is made up of two arts: Kenpo (Fist Law) and JuJutsu (Gentle Art). This system covers all aspects of combat from unarmed (kicks, punches, locks, throws etc) to weapon arts (knife, staff, sword spear etc.) It is considered one of the oldest ryu around today and is one of the most complete systems of fighting available. Through Kosho Shorei Ryu students learn unarmed combat, Kata, philosophy and history of the art and classical weaponry and tactics.
