Welcome to the Handwerker Martial Arts website.
As an official member school of Dillman Karate International
we are your connection to the study of Ryukyu Kempo in the greater Vancouver/Portland
area. We are also associate ourselves with Dan Anderson Karate
in regards to his system of Modern Arnis, MA-80.
The style of karate we study primarily focuses on
self-defense rather than on sport and competition. Ryukyu Kempo Karate-Jitsu
includes the arts of Kyusho-Jitsu (pressure point fighting) and elements
of Small Circle Jujitsu, making it more effective in rendering
an opponent helpless or unconscious in self-defense situations.
