I would like to take a moment to share my experience with all concerning the Kaju Ryu Jujitsu system. I have been blessed with the great honor over the past few years to not only train with, but to get to know Soke Kyle Watson Sr. the founder of the Kaju Ryu Jujitsu system, along with Sensei Kevin Watson on a personal level. I have seen firsthand just how effective their art can be on multiple levels, as well as against various types of aggressive threats. The physical skills required in executing their material and the highest standards of Honor and Humility which the Kaju Ryu Jujitsu system demands of each student to maintain is a true credit to the entire world of the martial arts.
Over my years of study within the martial arts, I have had the opportunity and distinct pleasure to train with many great and respected martial artists around the world. Some of which have already shared their testimonials here for all to read as I am doing now.
The existence of the martial arts and those who pursue it are designed for a very specific purpose, to be able to defend oneself, family, or those who cannot defend themselves from a hostile and often time’s deadly threat. However the application of physical principles and conceptual theory which make up the various disciplines often take the spotlight, and the fact that those who study their respective art are willing to sacrifice their time, money and if need be their lives to defend those they love are often forgotten.
Soke Kyle Watson and Sensei Kevin Watson, along with their senior staff of instructors continuously place their student’s wants, needs and desires ahead of their own. This is an attribute I would expect of not only great martial artist and system, but that of a true friend and family.
While I myself study the art of American Kenpo Karate, I commend the Kaju Ryu Jujitsu system, its founder and senior instructors as they continuously reach out to their community and the world in friendship and brotherhood as they touch the lives of those who may not otherwise be able to get training.
I will conclude with this statement: Sensei Kevin Watson is a man I would trust with the lives of my wife and daughter, and the Kaju Ryu Jujitsu System is an art I fully endorse and one I would recommend to all.
