Midlands Koryukan - an official branch dojo of Koryu Uchinadi, under the leadership and guidance of Hanshi Patrick McCarthy 9th dan. Koryu Uchinadi is a systematised set of application practices and 2-person drills that allow the practitioner to understand and explore traditional fighting systems. With responses against the habitual acts of physical violence at the core of this training methodology, striking, receiving, throwing, joint locks, chokes and strangles are all fundamental aspects of this holistic and practical fighting method. Balanced with this is the cultivation of the spirit through philosophical introspection and austere conditioning, providing the practitioner with a pathway to developing both the body and mind, in the traditions of the warriors of old.
