20th Anniversary

August 2005 marked the 20 year anniversary of our group in St. Louis.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Affton Presbyterian Church for the use of their facilities these many years.

Kokondo martial arts is composed of a superior jujitsu (Jukido) and powerful karate systems. Kokondo, with its strong Chinese and Okinawan influences, is not sport-oriented. Instead of trying to win trophies, Kokondo's emphasis is on realistic and effective self defense. We stress safety, courtesy and respect to others, self discipline and doing one's best.

Classes are divided into Karate Kokondo and Jukido Jujitsu. Both are very powerful and complete systems which complement each other.
