Our Mission

The Mission of the United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance in New Zealand is to provide the most authentic Ryukyu Kempo Karate instruction available in New Zealand.

By ensuring that only the most dedicated and committed Instructors are allowed to teach under the guidance of URKA (NZ), we will continue to excel in teaching Traditional Ryukyu Kempo Karate as it was intended by its founder Taika Seiyu Oyata.

Our Mission is further supported by the United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance World Headquarters through the Alliance Mission Statement:

The United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance is an organization formed to bring

sincere Martial Artists together in brotherhood. 

A group of Martial Artists who believe in the traditional concept of

One Heart, One Mind and One Spirit who uplift each other with support and pride in friendship.

An Alliance of Karate practitioners who unite together

to represent and promote all that is good in traditional Karate.

 


URKA (NZ) Profile

The United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance (New Zealand) was founded in 2004 by Renshi Marty Rickard after many years spent searching for an accurate representation of Ryukyu Kempo Karate. While there are many Ryukyu Kempo schools worldwide, very few have any actual, credible lineage back to Taika Seiyu Oyata.

While he was not the first to use the name Ryukyu Kempo, Taika Oyata was responsible for the common use of the name. Taika Oyata was privileged to study under some excellent teachers, all of whom gave him the tools he needed to develop Ryukyu Kempo to what it is today.

Kaicho Allan Amor studied with Taika Oyata for many years before beginning the United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance. Under the guidance of Kaicho Amor, the Alliance has spread across the United States and abroad.

We are proud to present the Alliance teachings in New Zealand and we guarantee that no one else in New Zealand can offer Ryukyu Kempo in a more traditional or accurate representation.
