GORIN KIAI JUTSU : THE ART OF WORKING AS WELL FOR THE EXTERNAL BODY AS FOR THE INNER SELF.

EXTERNAL : Distance, middle distance, close quarter work. Links between standing and floor with kick. On floor, sequence with kick, armlock and strangulation.

INTERNAL : The skill of striking on parts of the body. The art of breathing. The art of understanding the body’s energy.

This method of activity has been carefully put together by JOSEPH RUIZ, holder of the National Diploma 2nd Degree, who has lengthy experience in the world of martial arts. Competitor, teacher and student for more than 40 years in the varied methods of traditional BUDO, JOSEPH RUIZ has drawn up this new style called GORIN KIAI JUTSU ; a traditional approach which combines the use of vital energy and concentration. From the technical point of view, GORIN KIAI JUTSU is made up of many studies of combinations of strikes : blows, kicks, feet, fists, armlocks, throws and submissions. From the perspective of the inner self, the main vital points are : the forms of breathing, specifics, linkage, direction of the blow, the damage, points of preparation, the antidote.

The method of physical and sporting activity, complete without competition, approaches the border of competition with a richness of standing and floor work, as well as internal work..
