 The
Association's name (Combative Association of Martial Arts) explains its
roots and interest. Focused on the combative aspect of the martial arts
we exemplify Giwaken Shorinji, which are fundamental techniques of Offence
& Defence, used in training. Dealing with both Modern Military Science
and Asian philosophy, we strive to provide real world knolewdge for the
Bushi (Warrior). |

| Built
on sound combative principals that have been battle-proven and field-tested
over the centuries, CAMA focuses on educating the Bushi and providing him
or her a strong set of combative knowledge & skill crafts, focused on
the dynamic foundation of close-in/close-quarters engagement and multiple
range fighting. This provides the Warrior with an ability to detect, deter
and defeat an attack against the aggressor. Our principals encompass a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the way many arts have evolved from other Styles over the centuries. Adaptation or Application seem to be the two influences that shape or change technique most often. As weapons were modernized so were tactics and techniques; as the enemy became more knowledgeable and better skilled, so did the defender. This Art has evolved, as has warfare. The above statement is key to any program that is to instill longevity and keep an educated student focused and on the cutting edge of combative methodology. |

| How
Does Our Art Work? First and foremost, we are a Martial Arts System that houses multiple disciplines and art forms. Aiki Bujutsu Ryu is the System and the principal art is Aiki Bujutsu. Under these two banners sits a comprehensive set of both skills and applicable techniques. In this well-rounded System the application of technique begins with some basic understanding of the battle space: - The attacker is irrelevant and of no concern. That is key to being able to engage the - aggressor/s, move through the situation and apply the level of skill & force required to survive - the encounter. - We have eight directions of movement. Each direction facilitates offensive and defensive - foundations to work from. - We have a diverse Style that provides us the use of both Hard Fist & Soft Fist. - We have three levels of application—low, mid-range, and upper-range. - We have distances at which we can engage—close–mid–extended - That we are not limited to only function in a linear fashion—we use an off—line principle or - disengaging of center. - We deploy several levels of torque in our joint manipulation small circles to large circles. - We provide in-depth education on the inner working of the techniques - Timing, Ranging and Movement are all interconnected - Control of Balance – both the Bushi’s and the Aggressor’s are key These are but a few of the Principal Topics we use to educate our student practitioner. It is important to remember that all our Martial Abilities are theoretical until applied in some form of engagement. Does the technique work? We train in the attack & counterattack environment to validate the effectivness of our techniques. This is the foundation of our dojo/classroom instruction. Our prime objective is to provide the student practitioner with a working knowledge to diversify his/her skill sets. We provide principals that allow for adaptation and/or flexibility as they are applied and the adversary begins to evade or counter. We focus on key elements needed in building sound applicable response, such as target selection; multiple responses to the aggresor's single action; and working the attacker from an upright position to falling, to stabilized on the ground. We have to look at the entire engagement: is the attacker armed or unarmed, how he or she stands, where are my escape routes, where is the aggressor’s balance? These are just a few of the elements that are essential in formulating a combative response. We hope that this sample of our Style sparks an interest in you to learn more… Write to info@camausa.com |
