Ryozanpaku Karatedo DVD by Yoshihiro Togashi

Explore the dynamic world of Ryozanpaku Karate with the comprehensive guide presented by Togashi Yoshihiro, Head of the World Ryozanpaku Karate-do Union!

Delve into the innovative theory of striking known as "defeat with one strike," forged from the concentrated rotational force within the body. At the heart of Ryozanpaku Karate's powerful blows lie the principles of <Tame> and <Flexibility>.

<Flexibility> draws from the teachings of the Iwaki Shosui School of Tenshinshosuiryu Kenpo, emphasizing technique over physical size. Meanwhile, <Tame> enables practitioners to maximize the impact of a single blow, manipulating the body to unleash formidable power.
