Progressive Loading Principles are utilized to ensure ease of learning and a high material retention rate. Koryu Uchinadi is a genuine martial arts system that provides the student with portable - life principles.
The principles used have been selected for their effectiveness and truthfulness in preparing the student for awareness and automatic response to life situations.
The principles produce auto responses that are in harmony with nature and society. These should produce a fit, balanced and disciplined individual.
The methodology is one of developing the physical and the intellect so as to form a foundation for evolution of the mental; being the ability to retrieve information or responses, from the subconscious, at will.
Each student is taught to understand their own strengths and weaknesses; develop those strengths and work hard to improve their weaknesses.
While the true reward is confidence and inner self-growth, students are graded up to the next level at regular gradings when it is felt that they have a command of their current material are ready for the next level.
Koryu principles empower each individual with the confidence and ability to take charge of their life when situations demand critical decisions be made. These decisions should always be in keeping with personal needs, and respect for the needs of others.
Principles and drills selected are such that produce little or no "waste" in student time and effort. All drills support a principle and all principles are in line for development of skills that allow for minimum INDECISION in time critical response situations. eg, self defense, emergency response and acts of passion and commitment.
Little regard has been given to meaningless dojo related skills that fall apart outside the dojo and serve only to either pamper instructor egos or "baby-sit” students.
