Kurodaiya is established in 1990 by the founder Krishna Gopal.
Very often he was involved in real fights.
Despite he was trained in many traditional martial art styles he did loose many fights.
His competitors were bigger, stronger and faster and were real streetfighters.
He thought about a system that doesn't use much power, movements and contact but with maximal impact.
So he developed a system with all requirements as mentioned above.
Even a strong physical condition is not longer mandatory.
Kurodaiya means black diamond. In it's original state a diamond is black and rough. Kurodaiya is a very logical and practical style and aimes on real fights and no dummy work. We try to disable an attacker with a minimum of tension.
In the real world you only have a split second to react !
In the first place we use Kurodaiya as a selfdefence system but is also very usable in competition like :
MMA, Freefight, Jiu-jitsu, Free style, Semi ontact, Full contact, Thai Boxing, Kick Boxing enz.
At our training we will teach you to defend yourself against one or more attackers with or without using weapons.
The weapons used are : stick, knife, rope and katana.
Kurodaiya uses a broad palet of techniques and can be use in very many situations. It's easy to learn by young and old !
