After
many years of training in and teaching various martial
arts I encountered Masashi Yokoyama Sensei of Osaka,
Japan. Yokoyama Sensei is the founder of a modern
self defense art that he named KOROHO. Koroho translates
to mean "continuously moving forward with a
pure soul". Koroho was created as a method
of defense designed to efficiently and effectively
defend against modern attacks. Also, the training
methods have been updated in order to enable students
to learn effective self defense in a relatively
short period of time. This makes Koroho an excellent
system for law enforcement personnel.
Yokoyama
Sensei also teaches Koroho to various law
enforcement and security personnel around
the world. The Director of the French Koroho
Federation is the Commander of the Gendar
Marie.
