		The Kenpo Program at Terry Dow’s Academy of Martial Arts is a blend of old Shaolin Kenpo, and Kosho shorei ryu kenpo.Shaolin Kenpo is a striking art based on combinations of movements designed for self defense purposes. Kosho ryu is the study of natural movements utilizing strikes, locks and throws. This system is now headed by Bruce Juchnik, Hanshi. The system was passed on to him from one of his teachers, James Mitose. It encompasses any movements or techniques that the practitioner feels natural about executing at any given time. The art encompasses any martial system that follows natural laws and principles of movement.

		Suspect Control and Restraint (SCR)
		There is a growing need for modifications of conventional law enforcement Suspect Control and Restraint techniques. This course will enhance and improve on the basic defensive tactics already taught to law enforcement and will specifically focus on bridging the gap between the officer and a suspect during an altercation and maintaining control of a suspect during handcuffing and the subsequent arrest of the suspect. With the SCR program officers will learn and become proficient in a wide variety of situations. In each situation, will be taught how to maintain control of a suspect during an altercation and how to end the altercation with the officer being uninjured and having complete control of the suspect.

		Iaido Sword
		Historically, the samurai of Japan used Iaido as a fighting method. They were trained to draw their swords and battle their opponents using the quickest and most efficient moves possible. Attention to detail and accuracy were strongly emphasized as the smallest of mistakes could be fatal. The origins of Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu (Peerless, Direct Transmission, True-Faith Style) can be traced back 450 years to Hayashizaki Minamoto Jinsuke Shigenobu (1546-1621) who was born in northern Japan. It is said that he wanted to avenge the death of his father and was inspired to create Shinmei Muso-Ryu (Divinity Inspired Unparalled Style) while praying for guidance. Over the last 450 years this style has evolved and has been passed down to different sokes or headmasters in charge of maintaining the integrity of the style. The current and 22nd soke is Takashi Ikeda Sensei. To request more information on this class, please visit our 'contact us' page.
