What Is Kempo?

Kiyojute Ryu Kempo Bugei is a martial arts system founded by one William Durbin Jr. It is composed of 10 different martial arts all of which are deployed in strictly self-defensive ways. All of our arts are inherited from their traditional Chinese and Okinawan forms, preserved in combative form rather than sport. Kempo includes Goho Karate, Jujutsu, Akiho Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, as well as several forms of weapons training.


Who Can Join Kempo?

Anyone is free to join Kempo at UK as long as they have access to the Alumni Gym at the allotted class times, you do not need to be affiliated with UK as a student or faculty member. We welcome students of all ages over 18.

How Can I Support Kempo

Kempo at UK is a Donations based club, as such there is no required fee in order to practice with us or use the facilities, however we do ask that you consider supporting us and our wonderful instructor so that we may continue to provide quality self-defense training to our community. Our Venmo is listed below and any donation you can provide would be much appreciated.
