Here is a chance to study what your instructor, Master John Enger, calls a truly “Blended Martial Art” (B.M.A.), in his Shinja Buke Ryu Kenpo program.

The concept of “blending” denotes passing gradually or imperceptibly into each other. Something that goes well together; harmonizing. In his opinion, often times certain martial art techniques just simply don’t blend well together. He has found in his own experience that transitioning from one to the other is far too often difficult and just doesn’t quite harmonize. The chameleon is a very good example of being able to blend into its surroundings.

What you will not find in SHINJA BUKE RYU KENPO is a host of traditional martial arts concepts or requirements to learn endless types of kicks, punches and katas. Your instructor thoroughly believes that one must absolutely master the basics of simple kicks and punches in order to effectually master the advanced self-defense techniques and blend them into an effective and devastating style of combat self defense that will work on the deadly streets of America and abroad. Shinja Buke Ryu Kenpo focuses on the verbal, psychological and the physical techniques to staying alive.

In order to earn your first belt in the series (White Belt), Master John Enger will instruct you through his P15-V1 “SURVIVAL COMMUNICATION” – also known as “Shinja Talk” training. Founded upon sound biblical precepts, he believes the missing ingredient to most martial arts programs is the student being unable to first attempt to defend themselves through the use of verbal de-escalation skills. He certainly understands that a physical confrontation sometimes is entirely unavoidable where one is attacked without warning or provocation. However, he also knows through experience as a former law enforcement officer, with over three decades of experience, that many physical encounters begin with “words” (harsh, threatening, foul words!); words that lead to fights with serious injuries and sometimes death. You will learn to use “soft words” according to P15-V1.

To the motivated student, Shinja Buke Ryu Kenpo will consist of earning the following ranks.

If you are ready to learn realistic defensive tactics that will work on the street then you should seriously consider purchasing this series of DVDs. We do not sell ranks and no rank certifications are issued without testing. If you are looking for an easy way to earn a Black Belt you will not find it here. But if you are serious about learning how to defend yourself and sincerely desire to earn a legitimate Black Belt in Shinja Buke Ryu Kenpo you will be proud to say that you worked hard and have earned that rank.
