Okinawa Kioshi Kempo

 

 

 

Kioshi Kempo, Kiokoshiki Kempo Karate, and Shoalin Kioshi Kempo are the ways I have heard this style be described as. The style is loosely based on Mas Oyamas system ok karate.

 

The system is a hard core external style, relying on speed, weight distribution, and power of technique. The forms are practiced at full force and one should you every ounce of energy they have when performing all the forms. Realistic self defense is taught, and various sparring methods.

 

Shejan Herman Gonzalez was my teacher for this system.

 

The forms included in Kioshi Kempo are:

 

Henan 1, Henan 2, Henan 3, Henan 4, Henan 5, which are similar to the pinan forms of Japanese and Okinawa based arts. Kiokoshiki, Pai Sai Do, Saifisambi, and Kioshi Ryzuka kata.
