Introduction to Kosho Ryu

Kosho Ryu fills this gap, providing a comprehensive system that enhances lifelong learning and effectiveness, far beyond the limitations of sport-oriented martial arts.

My journey into Kosho Ryu began in 2000 under the tutelage of Hanshi Richard Buchan. This exploration not only transformed my understanding of Hapkido, my root art, but also laid the foundation for my achievements in Kyusho Jitsu. Kosho Ryu didn't just add to my martial arts repertoire; it revolutionized it.

Join us as we dive into the essence of Kosho Ryu. Discover a martial arts practice that grows with you, enriching your life and deepening your understanding of the natural laws that define our world.

Discover the Power of the Octagon: Your Gateway to Mastering Kosho Ryu

The Octagon is not just a shape; it's a profound symbol of the natural laws that underpin Kosho Ryu, offering unparalleled insights into the art of pressure points. Its principles make accessing and leveraging pressure points not only easier but significantly more effective. This understanding has become a cornerstone of our teachings at Art Mason's Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts, fundamentally shaping our approach to martial arts.

Recognizing the pivotal role of the Octagon, I've developed two foundational courses on Octagon Basics in recent years. These courses have served as an essential starting point for many students, yet I've always known that there was more to share, more to explore. Therefore, I've embarked on a journey to not only remaster existing content but to infuse it with fresh insights and techniques, offering a comprehensive introduction to those drawn to the depth and wisdom of Kosho Ryu.

This revamped course is designed specifically for newcomers to Kosho Ryu—those looking to "get their feet wet" and start their journey with a solid foundation. It's the perfect entry point for anyone not yet ready for the more advanced aspects of Kosho Ryu but eager to begin their exploration. And rest assured, this is just the beginning. As you delve into the principles of the Octagon and start applying them, you'll find yourself on a path of continuous growth and discovery, ready to advance to higher levels of learning in due time.

Why Start with the Octagon?

• Accessibility: The Octagon principles simplify the complex art of pressure points, making it more approachable for beginners.
• Effectiveness: Learn how to apply pressure points with precision and power, enhancing your martial arts practice.
• Foundation for Growth: This course lays the groundwork for your Kosho Ryu journey, preparing you for more advanced studies.

Embark on this exciting journey with us. Dive into the heart of Kosho Ryu through the Octagon and begin unlocking the secrets of natural laws that will transform your martial arts practice forever.

Embrace the Journey: Introduction to Kosho Ryu

Welcome to the threshold of a transformative journey—our Introduction to Kosho Ryu course. This isn't just a course; it's an invitation to delve into the foundational elements of Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo, a martial art that enriches and complements your existing practice, irrespective of your martial arts background.

Kosho Ryu is about more than just techniques; it's about integrating the profound Natural Laws into your martial arts practice to unlock a deeper level of understanding and capability. This course is designed to lay the groundwork for this exploration, providing you with the basic principles and practices that form the core of Kosho Ryu. Whether you're new to martial arts or have years of experience in another discipline, this course is tailored to enhance your journey, not redirect it.

The legacy of Kosho Ryu is rich and storied, having been brought from Japan to the West by the 21st Grand Master, James Mitose. Before his passing, O'Sensei Mitose entrusted the art to his student, Hanshi Bruce Juchnik, marking a continuation of this profound martial tradition. My own path in Kosho Ryu, under the guidance of Hanshi, is an ongoing journey of learning and discovery, one that I am committed to for life. While some may question the lineage due to martial arts politics, the documentation held by Hanshi Juchnik—which I have personally seen—affirms the legitimacy of this legacy.

This course is more than just an introduction; it's a gateway to a lifelong journey of learning and growth within the martial arts. It's about seeing beyond the physical techniques to the deeper wisdom that martial arts can offer—a wisdom that enhances not only how you practice martial arts but also how you live your life.

Martial Arts training should not be looked at as an activity. It is rather a study. And a study that lasts for a lifetime. The world is in the trouble it is in today because people are not educated, they are indoctrinated. Therefore they regurgitate information that is not truth, but part of a narrative.

And the martial arts world has been affected by this also. Thus the believe that ring fighting and feats of physical prowess are the only way. There is no truth to this idea. These things have value, but are only a fraction of the entire picture.

Learning is for a lifetime.

How often have you heard someone say that they are "too old for" something? There is not truth to this as age is a state of mind. Anyone can do the Introduction to Kosho Ryu Video Course. Age is a state of mind.

Too many martial artists my age have relegated themselves to talking about their glory days at a coffee shop, or worse social media platforms. 

And the best part, if you purchase this important and amazing video course and are not happy within the first 30 days I will refund you. Just submit a Support Ticket. But I know you will love this! Do you prefer eBook on Kosho, check here. 

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day! Keep Learning!
