Welcome to the Handwerker Martial Arts website. Our focus on martial arts is primarily on self-defense rather than on sport and competition. Our belief is that the true essence of any martial art is for combat and self-defense. Sport oriented versions of the arts tend to take away from the warrior mindset.

The main style of martial art we study is based on Okinawan Kempo (Ryukyu Kempo) and includes elements of Kyusho-Jitsu, Modern Arnis, Small Circle Jujitsu™, Modular Knife and Kenjutsu, thus making our techniques natural, classical and effective whether empty-handed or with a tool. We welcome anyone who whishes to train with us.
