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.
