Throwing

Kenukan's throwing component utilizes techniques from Traditional Judo & Wrestling. Although ending a fight with a hard throw is an excellent goal, it is not always possible. Therefore, transitions into ground control and submission are brought together in a seamless fashion.

Striking

Kenukan's striking component is a blend of Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Karate, & Western Boxing. It's primary goal is to hit the opponent hard, fast, & furious - thus, ending the fight while still in the standing phase of combat & avoid going to the ground.

Submission

Kenukan's submission component brings together pins, locks, & chokes from Japanese Judo & Ju-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, & Russian Sambo. Regardless of the source, if it's practical & effective, it's absorbed into the curriculum.

Self-Defense

Kenukan's Self-Defense Techniques, Tactics, & Strategies are a unification of its striking, throwing, & submission components - plus, traditional & modern weapons. The curriculum teaches Jim Harrison's Bushidokan Ronin Jutsu - utilized by members of Delta, Seals, Rangers, FBI, & other elite units.

Welcome Letter From Kenukan Academy Founder

Kenukan Academy, the International Headquarters for the Kenukan Budokai and the Midwest Office for the Bushidokan Yudanshakai, is the oldest Martial Arts Academy in Johnson County - serving the Olathe and Kansas City area "SINCE 1968".

Although we have produced over 270 International, National, and State Champions in sport competition, we specialize in tactics which are practical and effective in REAL LIFE SITUATIONS.

In the mid-1960's, I began my martial arts training in Okinawa and later became a student under Sensei Jim Harrison, founder of the Bushidokan Martial Arts Systems of Judo-Jujitsu, Karate-Kickboxing, & Ronin Goshin Jutsu. With the instruction, support, and guidance of my teachers, I was able to surpass any goals that I set for myself in my early years of training.

In 2006, I handed Kenukan Academy to my son, Travis Boggs, a 2-Time International Gold Medalist, International Ju-Jitsu Coach, & one of the best instructors in the country. His patience, detailed explanations, & hands-on teaching style, are truly second to none. The academy I founded over 50 years ago is in good hands!

I encourage you to take the big step and become a Kenukan Academy student. By combining physical and mental training, goal setting, and a systematic instructional plan, we can dynamically instill the pride of individual responsibility and achievement. The discipline this requires becomes lifelong and spills over into all aspects of one's life, whether it's home, job, schoolwork, or extracurricular activities.

Yours in Bushido,

Anything can be made easily and cheaply bought, but that which must be EARNED DEARLY has the greatest value. If you are more concerned with WEARING A BELT than in EARNING A BELT, we recommend you study somewhere other than at KENUKAN ACADEMY.
