Ryuhoryu Bujutsu (龍鳳流武術) can best be defined as the Dragon Phoenix School of Martial Arts. The term bujutsu is being used to cover both Karate and Bukijutsu (weaponry) since the system consists of both components. Ryuhoryu began development in 2005 and was completed in 2014. The style initially began as a collection of extra kata that were taught by various instructors on Okinawa, however over time this material started taking on a life of its own and ultimately became a new style of karate.

Ryuhoryu is comprised of thirty-six total kata. There are eighteen empty hand kata and eighteen weaponry kata. The balance between the empty-handed kata and weapon kata is an additional reason why the term bujutsu is used with Ryuhoryu. The kata come from a variety of sources, most are from Okinawan sources, but some of our weaponry does come from Chinese sources.
