Neko-Ryu Goshin Jitsu

The concept of Neko-Ryu originated with Kotani Sensei (10th degree Kodokan Judo) and Nakabiyashi Sensei (A combative measures instructor at the Japanese Naval Academy) that had developed a four-hour self-defense course to provide Japaneses Business Men Training in simple self-defense principles in the early 1960's and who was later hired by the U.S. Marine Corp to train troops. Professor Cates studied directly with Mr. Nakabiyashi when Professor Cates was a hand-to-hand combat instructor in the Marine Corp at Paris Island.

Professor Cates took this concept, coupled with high ranking skills in Judo, Taiho Jitsu, Goshin Jitsu, as well as his military/combat experience and created a complete martial arts/self-defense system naming it Neko-Ryu Goshin Jitsu. ("Cat-style self defense"). Neko-Ryu Goshin Jitsu's principles and techniques focus on simple and natural movements (similar to the movements of a cat) which are easy to remember while under the stress of an attack and which utilize the size and power of a larger opponent against themselves. Professor Cates system of a Neko-Ryu Goshin Jitsu also includes innovative and original concepts (which he created of "vertical and 22 1/2 degrees Kazushi" rather than the traditional eight-direction and 45 degrees Kazushi.
