Ishi-Ryoku Jutsu is a Martial Art for the 21^st Century.

Combining the discipline of traditional

Karate and Ju-Jitsu techniques,

with the more modern aspects of self defence that really work in the street.

Whilst any Martial Art is only as good as its practitioner,

a thorough knowledge of the principles of self defence will instil

confidence into a person making them less likely to become a target.

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.

  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.
