Formely From the UK.
with over 25 years in Ed Parkers Kenpo and over 10 years in Ju Jitsu
In 2004 Developed Kenpo Karitsu which is an Art now officially recongnised by the F.M.A,
(The Federation of Martial Arts) who are affiliated to F.E.K.O of which is the UK Governing body for martial arts

A blend of Ed Parkers Kenpo KARate and Traditional JujITSU

Karitsu teaches the student to adapt quickly to any given situation, taking any given attack and dealing with it effectively with a complete range of natural weaponary. So rather than being stuck in the ideal phase of a technique, the student will have the ability to decide weather to move forward,backward,step offline,evade,restrain,takedown,throw or go to ground.
The Karitsu Student is Adaptable, Versatile, and quick thinking.

E.g. Rather being told for instance, "Do Delayed Sword" where the attacker attacks knowing he will be kicked in the groin, so will probably attack un realisticly, predicting the end result, The Karitsu student will know several options against the Delayed Sword attack, so we give them the attack and its upto the student to evaluate the situation with the best available technique.

Kenpo Techniques have a series of similar moves that are related to major key techniques, we have cut out the time it takes to go through the grades before you learn the technique that is related to the key technique you might have learnt 12 months previous.This makes the Defence difficult and un predictable to the attacker, making the moves more realistic.

A totally up todate and modern system based on Ed Parkers American Kenpo

Karitsu was the choice of many schools in the UK, Being taught to young children and to all girl schools as one of their sporting activities. Many years have gone into the development of the curriculum, and after serious thought we would like to proceed with what we started over 5 years ago, knowing how many lives we changed, through our endevours to spread the word to families and communities in our local town of Plymouth, UK
don`t take our word for it, take a look in the guestbook!
