What is Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu? Established as a pragmatic alternative to the plethora of terribly ambiguous and highly dysfunctional styles of "traditional" karate, Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu® is a modern interpretation of Okinawa's historic combative-like disciplines, a completely systematized, cohesive and coherent method of learning/teaching. Based on common mechanics and supported by immutable principles, the most unique features of Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-jutsu are its vibrant body dynamics, functional HAPV-theory [Habitual Acts of Physical Violence] and application-based two-person drills.
Koryu Uchinadi can also be learned/imparted as a provocative alternative to conventional methods of physical fitness and stress management. Learning how to respond dispassionately to unwarranted aggression requires self- empowerment. Such training promotes an inner-calm and, where conflict exists, helps restore balance to personal and professional relationships. Koryu Uchinadi® is a non-competitive, totally application-based defensive practice, punctuated with moral philosophy and highlighted by introspective teaching as a comprehensive single study.
What will you learn? In this first eight week introductory course, the learner will build upon principals using a series of twelve or more flow drills, which develop functional spontaneity. Making the drills habitual is the goal, rather than learn a couple of self-defense “tricks” that will be forgotten in a matter of days or weeks.
Also, for those individuals who Crossfit, every effort will be made to show the many parallels that exist between the two disciplines. You will see body-weight squats, burpees, the push-press and dead-lifts in a whole new light.

This information came in to me this past Friday from one of our CrossFit affiliates. Thought this might be helpful. Check it out.
A question came up today what you can do if pullups are not an option for you at this point. let me walk you through a progression I have used on clients in the past to work on their pullups:
Lat- Pulldowns. Use the cable system or Lat Pulldown Machine to increase strength in teh muscles that will be used in a pullup
Hang for time- Talk about hanging around.... yes, this still helps to develop forearm and upper arm strength. Keep doing this longer and longer and soon you will be able to have the grip strength to complete a pullup.
Jumping Pullups- This is similar to an assisted pullup, but you start on the ground and jump to get your chin over the bar. this allows you to focus on developing the range of motion necessary to complete a pullup.
Assisted pullups- Use a machine, tubing, box, legs, whatever you can to help you complete a pullup. Anything that reduces the weight you use will help!
Half pullups- Start with the top half and work your way to a larger and larger range of motion
Negative pullups- Jump to the top and slowly lower yourself.
All of these tools can be used to increase your upper body strength to complete the pullups. There is also another type of pullup in which you can use a bar across a squat rack and do a reverse push-up. Hang on to the bar above you, and pull yourself to the bar.
Please do not hesitate to shoot an email with any other questions. Have an amazing and empowered day!
