Super Self-defense KOROHO is simple and easy to learn .

Super self-defense KOROHO has been well publicized in televisions, newspapers, andmagazines.

We have held many seminars in Japan and foreign countries. KOROHO has been studied and used by the French National Special Police (Gendarmerie) in south France and Krav Mage (Self-defense ) instructors in Italy.There is also a KOROHO Federation in Europe .

KOROHO is practical ,simple and easy to learn , so students include not only policemen , military men , bodyguards and martial artists, but also the general public .

In today's life, most of criminals use some type of weapon(knife, gun, stick, etc).

Most of today's martial arts set the sport as the main goal.

Even if you practice martial arts for many years, it is very difficult to protect yourself from an assailant's sudden attack with a weapon.

The KOROHO system is easy and quickly learn . KOROHO employs mainly high speed and simple movements to guard against a sudden attack by using basic human instincts and reflexes.

So, even if you do not have strength or a big body, you can defend yourself from an assailant.

Head , Creator : SuperSelf-defense KOROHO

Master Masashi YOKOYAMA was born to a family of martial arts experts.

At a young age he was taught a very traditionalform of Japanese martial arts which came from the Banshu Region of Japan.

This traditional Japanese martial art, which consists of the study of hand to hand combat, was originally consigned to the inferior class of Samurai during the civil war era. It was valued for its efficiency in battle .

At the same time he practiced Karate, Chinese martial art, and swordsmanship.

His numerous professional placements in South-east Asia, the U.S.A. and in Europe led him to reflect on the efficiency of traditional and competitive

martial arts in the fight against modern crime.

Using his experiences in the martial arts, he developed his own style, a marriage between efficiency and simplicity, which he called KOROHO.

This word, which can be translated as "to continue to move forward with a pure soul," shows well the desire of Master YOKOYAMA to improve martial art techniques by adapting them to reality.

This contemporary method of self- defense quickly came to the attention of the police forces in many different countries, many of whom asked Master YOKOYAMA to come and teach seminars in his style to their elite forces.

Particular to the KOROHO style is the exploitation of the practitioner's instinct and natural capacity through the acquisition of simple techniques,

allowing him to react in the face of aggression.

The student of KOROHO must learn to evade an attack without regard as to

where he is attacked.

◆Thanks letter from Mayor of Nice,France

From the Commander of security force of France National Army Police(Gendarmerie) Master YOKOYAMA I am writing to thank you for the various courses of KOROHO that you have taught in France. Upon taking the courses, the participants and I were able to appreciate your teaching and the effectiveness of your method of self-defense. Members of the police forces present at these courses were impressed by the simplicity and the realism of the demonstrated techniques and in particular the techniques of defense against armed attackers .

- I'm sure all instructions the Master gave us will help us deal with emergency situations. The programme made me reflect on my life, as I've always lived without a real understanding of potential dangers.

All the instructions were practical and focused on situations one might encounter in one’s daily life.
