Throughout history, there have always been wars and conflicts that put people’s lives in danger. This is why since the beginning of time people have been developing ways of defending themselves. The histories of the martial arts are filled with many legends and colorful stories, which help to show us where our arts originate. This history also shows us how these arts developed into effective ways of killing and winning battles and then developed through political and spiritual ways into an artistic form of sport.

About | Leadership

Hsin Lu Tao™ Academy of Martial Arts is...

a training facility for students interested in learning the traditional martial arts. We are formed of an ever-growing fellowship of well-rounded, well-trained martial arts instructors devoted to teaching the skills, the traditions, the history, the physics and the philosophy of the Arts in a straightforward and practicable manner. Tradition is of vital importance in our training, exercise and mastery of the Arts. To us, to subtract the tradition is to compromise the vast amounts of wisdom it imparts to the practitioner, and thus, in essence, to cripple the art.

Please feel free to come in to visit us, browse through our web site, or to email us with any questions or comments. Our on-line calendars and class schedules (HQ calendar here; Northeast calendar here) provides you with a schedule of our regular classes, or you can register and join our martial arts forum. Do one or do them all. We appreciate your contact.

Koryukan Style of Martial Arts

 

Koryukan is a style of martial arts...

 

developed by Soke Sal Moralez of the Hsin Lu Chuan Shu Tong. The Koryukan style brings together the essential practices and characteristics of karate-do, kobudo, jujutsu, and Filipino & Chinese martial arts into an integral fighting system.

Literally translated from Japanese, ko 古 means old or ancient, ryu 竜 means school, and kan 館 means house or hall. Koryukan, then, is "the home of the school of ancient ways."

Fundamentally speaking, the Koryukan style draws upon the meanings, philosophies and disciplines of ancient knowledge in the development of its theories and science as practiced in the martial arts. Integrated into this style are the elemental traditions of Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of 5 Rings, the incomparable fighting strategies of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, and the timeless philosophy, strategy, medicine and technique contained in the treasured treatise used for centuries by top martial arts’ masters – the Bubishi. Together, these books stand at the core of Koryukan teachings, and the method of application, unique to the Koryukan style, brings combat techniques to life.

At its philosophical foundation, the Koryukan style espouses the concept that the learning of the Arts is a truth seeking process. In fact, the Koryukan style could be described as more than just a discipline of the martial arts. It is, at its most fundamental, a philosophy for training the Arts that brings order to the essentials of all disciplines and acts as a template that can be readily and efficiently applied to any warrior art.

Other characteristic features of the Koryukan style are:

  • An extensive use of a vast array of weapons in its training in order to develop the warrior’s mindset.

  • The practice of kata as a mapping system that gives a schematic overview of how the body can be attacked, manipulated or healed.

  • A comprehensive address of human anatomy and optimum movement for the production of ultimate power.

  • A well-defined and target-specific framework of progressive training that factor to the Evolutions of Development from Beginner to Grand Master level.
