About Ryuhoryu

Ryuhoryu is a research-based style of Ryukyuan martial arts established in 2005 by Scot Mertz. This unique martial art was developed over a span of nine years and emphasizes the preservation of traditional training methods native to the Naha region of the Ryukyu Islands. At present time the hombu dojo for Ryuhoryu is based out of Okinawa Japan.

Ryuhoryu is characterized by a balanced approach, comprising equal parts empty-hand techniques and traditional weaponry. In addition to its core focus on kenpo (an unarmed combat system) and kobudo or bukijutsu (an art that specializes in the use of various weapons). Ryuhoryu also incorporates other practices such as shima (Ryukyuan wrestling/Okinawa Sumo) and tuidi (self-defense).

Through this comprehensive methodology, Ryuhoryu aims not only to maintain these historical martial arts but also to adapt and pass them on to future generations, ensuring that the rich cultural heritage of the Ryukyu Islands is preserved and appreciated.

In addition to offering martial arts training, Ryuhoryu is dedicated to preserving the Okinawan language (Uchinaguchi) and it's unique culture. This commitment not only emphasizes the importance of cultural heritage but also ensures that future generations can connect with and appreciate the rich history of Okinawa and the Ryukyu Kingdom. By integrating language preservation into its programs, Ryuhoryu fosters a deeper understanding of Okinawan traditions, values, and identity.
