Adult Kempo Jujutsu

The adult program at CAMA provides comprehensive training in Seizan Ryu, a self-defense based fighting system derived from the careful blending of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Indonesian martial arts. This is not a sport — all techniques focus on strategies and effectiveness in real-world conditions.

For over forty years, CAMA instructors have used a unique, trans-Pacific approach utilizing age-old martial principles in concert with a more Western system of codification and presentation. This system prepares students physically as well as psychologically and emotionally for whatever challenges they may face in life.

Adults train in both unarmed and armed techniques. Unarmed training encompasses strikes, locks, throws, and ground defense drawn from multiple Asian martial traditions. Armed training includes weapon defense and the use of traditional weapons such as rattan sticks and bladed implements for real-world self-protection.

Drawing from technique and tactics inherent in the study of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Indonesian disciplines and vetted by intuitive teachers who recognized the commonalities in these practices, the CAMA curriculum provides students with holistic skills that are both realistic and relevant.
