Strategies and Studies of Kosho Ryu

Mitose asked Hanshi Juchnik a question that frames everything in Kosho.

"What is more important. To know how to move, or when to move?"

Most martial artists spend their entire training life answering only the first half. They drill blocks. They polish strikes. They memorize combinations. And they never get to the second half.

This bundle is the second half.

You get four pieces that work together as one curriculum on the principles underneath the technique. The text where Hanshi laid them out on the page. And three videos where he stood up and showed them in motion.

What's inside

📘 Strategies and Studies of Kosho Ryu Kempo (Ebook)

Hanshi's foundational text on the principles that govern Kosho.

The leaning factor. Capturing the King. The art of 7-10. Layered hitting. Onna no Atemi and Otoko no Atemi. Illusion and reality. Spirit guided movement. The three levels of study (Shodan, Chuden, Okuden). The Kosho Mind. Repetition and recall.

This is not a technique catalog. It is the operating system underneath the technique. The same study Mitose carried back from Japan and entrusted to Hanshi.

🎥 Steps of Kempo (Concept Video)

Hanshi's tour through the sub-arts of Kosho.

Why Mitose's answer about religion was actually an answer about martial arts. The escaping arts as the first thing a beginner should be taught (and why almost no one teaches it that way anymore). The Octagon. Aruki no Waza, the walking tricks. Why Kosho is preparatory first and reactionary second. The dance floor as the closest civilian analog to true combat timing. The 3/8 drill. The Four Wall Concept. Why adrenaline is your opponent's strength and thought is the thing that breaks it.

If you want a single video that shows you how the pieces of Kosho fit together, this is it.

🎥 Gamae (Concept Video)

Hanshi's signature teaching on posture and positioning.

The leaning factor demonstrated from every angle. Inside entries. Outside entries. Short range. The tight circle throw. Locking the skeletal structure. The ghost effect. Why the body that looks off balance is actually the strongest base in the room.

The line Hanshi delivers near the end is worth the price of the bundle by itself: "These are all the keys to the real key of Kosho Ryu. And that is to do no harm to someone."

🎥 Gamae Revisited (Concept Video)

The follow-up most students never get to.

This time Hanshi flips the camera and teaches gamae from the attacker's point of view. Creating false centers. Reading the shoulder roll, the elbow fan, the head lift, the foot reposition. Trigger points and loading. Clotheslining the lunge. The grab as gamae. How to feel a false center the moment a hand lands on you.

If Gamae taught you to move, Gamae Revisited teaches you to read.

Why this bundle, and why now

You can practice for thirty years and never be exposed to the principles in these four pieces.

That is not because they are hidden. It is because most martial arts training stops at technique. Most teachers never make it to the philosophy that produced the technique. And most students, even very good ones, never realize there is a layer underneath the one they are practicing.

Strategies and Studies puts that layer on the page.

Steps of Kempo walks you through how the layer is taught.

Gamae and Gamae Revisited drill into the single most foundational concept inside it.

Take all four together and the rest of your training reorganizes itself around the
