Who We Are
|
|
Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu has no connections with any
eastern religions, but adheres rather to the Christian philosophy
of life, and the teachings of Jesus Christ as found in The Bible.
We do not promote violence, but instead teach our students to look
for every opportunity to find a peaceful solution to a situation
of conflict.The main focus of Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu is one of
self-defence.
Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu helps people to defend themselves in a society
that is becoming increasingly more violent.

|
Techniques
|
|
Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu draws from the traditional
techniques of Ju-Jitsu , Shotokan Karate, Judo, Chin-na, Aiki-Jutsu,
Thai Boxing, and Tuite Grappling. It is a Street Smart blend
of stand up and ground fighting which focuses almost entirely on
Self-Defense and being smart enough to avoid confrontation if
possible.

The Founder
|
|
Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu was developed by Sensei
Christopher Foley Godan (5th dan) he is the Soke, or founder of this system, as well
as its chief instructor. The genesis
of his system was the desire to create a martial art that combined
"stand up" and "ground" combat techniques that
were very "street efficient", and quick to learn. This
combined with the strong emphasis on the psychology of self
defence has produced an outstanding system that works well from
the first lesson.

We offer instruction in a highly specialised
system of Street Smart Self-Defence with an internationally
recognized syllabus right through to Black Belt. We also run 1/2

Artists. Training times are Mondays 5:30pm-6:30 (White to
green belt) and 6pm-7:30 (Green to Black Belt) .
Juniors Program How safe are your kids ?
Many Martial Arts Schools either don't cater for children
or have techniques that are difficult to learn. Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu
is a system that is very easy for children to learn and works very
well from the first lesson. It follows a very logical progression
from very simple to more challenging techniques.

Philosophy Corner
|
|
A careful study of history will show that martial or
fighting arts existed long before the eastern martial arts that we
have come to think of as the "Original" martial arts. As
an example Karate was introduced to Japan by Gichin Funakoshi in
1922, which was only 75 years ago, but the martial arts can be
seen in Egyptian bare handed fighting techniques as depicted
in pyramid wall murals and hieroglyphics from around 4000
BC. Clearly the martial arts predate the orient, and point
back to their common origin which is to be found in Biblical
times. Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu has no connections with any eastern religions
or philosophies, but adheres rather to the Christian philosophy of
life.

The Four Elements Of Self-Defence
|
| The four elements of self-defence that an
Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu practitioner must master are |
| 1.
Talk your way out of trouble. 90% of conflicts can be avoided by
responding peacefully when provoked. |
| 2. Walk away. Any fight you can walk away from is a good
fight because nobody got hurt. |
| 3. Run. If the aggressor won't back off,
run.....many people have been badly hurt because their pride
wouldn't let them clear out. |
|
4. Fight. If
all else fails, hit first and hard and clear out.
