Kasho Martial Arts was founded in the United States, in 1980, by instructors
James Anderson, Brad Reynolds, and Bryan Reynolds.
This freestyle, or eclectic arts concept is, that by combining karate, kung fu,
judo and boxing techniques, you have a very effective and rounded martial arts
system. This art is only limited by the instructors’ knowledge, and should be
in a constant state of change or growth.
Kasho is a system not a style. It is a
true American art and is one of the first in the country. When founded there
was a need for a name but not a name for a style, because Kasho is not a style,
it is free from styles, it is more of a system of concepts. Kãsho
was a word that was created (so it's an American word) for those opened minded
concepts that are shared by its people.
