OLD ART NEW WAY
Sydney Koshinkan is a Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo Jutsu school based in Sydney. Koryu Uchinadi is a martial art based on modern day interpretation of the traditions of Okinawan self-defence as systemised by world renowned martial artist and historian Hanshi Patrick McCarthy (9th dan). The syllabus is comprehensive, covering all forms of physical confrontation including striking, blocks, stances, ground fighting/grappling, throws and takedowns, pressure point strikes, limb entanglements, chokes and strangulations.
Classes are based on self-defence principles, focused on protecting oneself in a real-life confrontational situation.
“The fighting arts are about the path way between self-protection and self-perfection”
Hanshi McCarthy
