Kokoru is a martial arts
training system founded by Stephen M. Apatow. The technical syllabus
is established on the foundation of classical biomechanics based judo, ju_jitsu
and mixed martial arts. Classical choreographic training used to provide
a foundation for sports such as skating and gymnastics, is integrated into
optimization of skill development, finesse and flexibility, economy of energy,
balance, and grace.
The Seven Virtues
of the Bushido form the physical and mental content of training.
These virtues are Jin: Benevolence toward
mankind; Universal love; compassion, Makoto: Utter sincerity;
truthfulness, Chugi: Devotion and
Loyalty, Meiyo: Honor and glory,
Yu: Valor; bravery,
tinged with heroism Rei: Proper behaviour;
courtesy Gi: The right decision,
taken with equanimity; rectitude.
These virtues are applied in physical training and application
into every day lives, in pursuit of an intellectual and social elite objective. These virtues embraced
as the student reaches towards the distinguished rank of Black
Belt and beyond.
Stephen M. Apatow is also founder of the Sports Medicine &
Science Institute (SMSI), an international martial arts reference
point for biomechanics and sportscience.
