Aiki Kempo Karate

As a trainer of many tournament champions and a distinguished judge at many nationally ranked tournaments, Grandmaster Young has combined his extensive knowledge of Shaolin Kempo, Kung Fu, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, Aikido, Western boxing and free style methods to create one of the most effective self defense programs available, Aiki Kempo.

The movements of Shaolin Kempo karate were originally derived from the fighting styles and instincts of five animals: 

The Tiger – strength and tenacity, the ability to endure and hold fast.
The Leopard – speed and power.
The Snake – suppleness, rhythmic endurance and inner energy, or chi.
The Crane – grace and balance.
The Dragon – desire within.

These styles and instincts guide the fundamental principles of Master Young’s Aiki (to blend and harmonize the forces of nature) Kempo, which teach restraint when provoked and defense when attacked.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

Eastern Dragon Karate has a full Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program within our Major Brands, Belmont N.H. facility with over 3000 sq. ft. of space. We are honored to be able to offer this program with an instructor from the world famous Renzo Gracie system. Our program is under the watchful eye of Professor Kevin Landry who oversees all of the Renzo Gracie N.H. programs.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a highly effective close range grappling art that has totally changed the martial arts community over the last decade. Originating from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, the art was developed and refined by the Gracie family of Brazil to focus on ground fighting techniques.

BJJ is a system that is designed to maximize leverage and body positioning to overcome larger, more powerful opponents. BJJ emphasizes the use of submission techniques such as chokes, cranks, and joint manipulations.
