At Gladstone Martial Arts Academy we teach Okinawan karate specifically Ryukyu Kempo. We teach kata, bunkai, and weaponry. Techniques are a combination of striking techniques and joint/nerve manipulation grappling. We teach 12 weapons ( wooden sword, bo, jo, tanbo, nunchaku, sai, tonfa, kama, chizikunbo, eku, nunti bo, and manji sai).
The head instructor has over 20 years of training and teaching in Ryukyu Kempo. Other instructors with the school have at least 7 years training and teaching karate.
