Ryu-Kai is a superior authentic Japanese traditional Martial Art based on close in defensive and offensive manoeuvres delivered in rapid succession. This forms the underlying philosophy of the self-defence teachings at Ryu-Kai Martial Arts. By utilising logic and economy of strength as efficiency tactics, it combines circular motion blocking techniques with quick and powerful counter attacks, delivered in swift progressive movements.

These techniques are based on relaxed movements and timing, using very little natural strength. In this way, a person with less strength can easily defuse a much larger and stronger opponent. This makes Ryu-Kai a system of self-defence without equal, and highly suitable for adult men and women, as well as children.

According to Julien Antoine, the Sensei at Ryu Kai Martial Arts, “All over the world today, personal safety is a real concern for many individuals. Whether it's walking alone at night or dealing with potential threats, having the ability to be able to defend oneself is crucial, while walking alone in the dark or dealing with potential attackers. The ingenious martial arts disciplines have to much to offer, with varying techniques and philosophies, including striking and grappling, which is effective defensive tactics that Ryu-Kai has to offer.”

At Ryu-Kai Martial Arts, the techniques taught to students emphasize adaptability and versatility. Because no two self-defence situations are similar, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances is paramount. The self-defence training focuses on practicality. The techniques taught are based on real scenarios and students get the opportunity to work against opponents of varying sizes and strengths.
