About Genshinryu
Genshinryu can be translated as: "Genshin" - An acute sense of the intended action of an opponent, which can be acquired only after long years of Martial arts training. A martial artist who possesses Genshin can thus anticipate an attack a fraction of a second before it takes place and counter-attack immediately with maximum effectiveness.

"Ryu" - a school system or style.

Genshinryu is a blending of the most effective techniques of many Martial arts such as; Aikido, Chin-Na, Hwrangdo, Jujitsu, Ninjutsu, Pa-Kua Kung Fu and Penchat Silat.  Genshinryu also utilizes many Chi Kung exercises to assist in developing Ki (Chi) energy.

Zen meditation, Iron palm, Ki energy cultivation, pressure point applications and numerous self defense categories make Genshinryu a very complete and well rounded Martial art.

The self defense areas include defense against punches & kicks, ground techniques, chokes, wrist & arm locks, restraints, rear attacks, takedowns & throws, leg sweeps, body grabs and other areas including advanced weapons categories (for intermediate/advanced students such as Knife fighting/defense, Jodo/stick fighting/defense and gun disarms).

The Genshinryu curriculum is unlike any other Martial art.  A student begins by learning the required strikes, blocks, kicks & combinations. After this students will be given 4 self defense categories to train in.  There are a required number of defenses the student must learn for promotion to the next rank. Upon promotion the student will receive new self defense categories and also have additional techniques added to the previous categories.
