Frequently asked questions

Lii-Kan Jitsu is a unique self-defense and personal protection system that blends traditional martial arts with modern techniques. Rooted in Japanese Jiu Jitsu, it incorporates elements of Chinese Kung Fu, Filipino Kali and Escrima, and Kyusho Jitsu. What sets it apart is its integration of Parkour for mobility, Functional Fitness training, and complementary practices like Chi Kung (Bio-Energy Training) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). These elements are combined with modern security and risk management knowledge to create a holistic approach to self-defense. The system has a rich history, evolving from Shorinji Kempo, a martial art developed by Doshin So, and later refined by practitioners like Riuku Myura and Chris Spencer. Today, Lii-Kan Jitsu serves as the foundation for SeTs Ryu's Street Arts and Functional Education (SAFE) programs, offering a comprehensive training experience that empowers individuals both physically and mentally. With plans for further expansion, including a Creative Studio and collaborations with local organizations, Lii-Kan Jitsu continues to innovate and inspire.
