Brief history:
The Anshinkai-do Karate curriculum was developed by Hanshi Jim
Sereff over 20 years ago. The system is based upon several Okinawan
and Japanese martial arts. The primary influences are from Shorin-ryu
Karate, Shotokan Karate, Jujitsu, Kokondo, Shimpu kai Kempo,
Kung-fu, and Okinawan Goju-ryu.
After retiring, Hanshi Sereff turned the school of Anshinkai-do over to
Shihan Jon Moore and Shihan Janine Moore. They each hold a 5th
degree black belt in Anshinkai-do and a 4th degree black belt in
Kosho Ryu Kempo. They own and operate our honbu (headquarters)
school, Moore Martial Arts, located in Windsor, CO.
In the summer of 2000, we began studying under Hanshi Bruce Juchnik
from Sacramento, California. Hanshi is the 22nd inheritor of the system
of Kosho Ryu and founder of Sei Kosho Shorei Kai. Among others, he
was taught by Professor James Mitose who was the 21st descendant of
the founder of Kosho Ryu.
Teachers:
Erik Plate - head instructor for the Johnstown, Colorado dojo. Sensei
Erik has 20 years of martial arts experience and holds a 4th degree
black belt in Anshinkai-do Karate and a 4th degree black belt in Kosho
Ryu Kempo.
Jennifer Campbell, assistant instructor, runs the 5-7 year old beginner
class. Jennifer holds a black belt (Shodan) in Anshinkai-do. She is an
open minded practitioner who has a passion for the arts and for
teaching kids.
Several other teachers in Anshinkai-do also periodically assist with
classes.
Curriculum:
Our curriculum is reality based with its roots in effective street combat
self defense. Although we are not a competitive style, we will support
students that have a desire to participate in tournaments. Students will
learn numerous kata (forms), self defense techniques, weaponry and
cultural arts such as Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) and Shiatsu
(pressure point massage). Our focus in on the study of natural laws,
concepts and principles as they relate to martial application.
Students are expected to practice outside of class to strengthen their
skills. Belt testing will include previously covered materials, so students
are expected to retain teachings from lower ranks as they progress.
Anshinkai-do belt progression is as follows:
White-Orange-Yellow-Purple-Blue-Green(1/2)-Brown(1/2/3)-Black.
The children's curriculum includes all of these belts as well as a stripe
level between the colored belts up to green belt. In order to progress
through the ranks, it is crucial that each student attends as many
classes as possible. A typical adult progression takes a minimum of 3
to 4 months between belts if they train four hours a week. Children will
typically take longer due to shorter class times.
