In Takeo-Ryu Combat Goshin Jitsu. the psychological fence - circle: (awareness) the verbal fence -square: (aggressive approach) and the physical fence - triangle: (preemptive movement) comprise the "3 fence concept of defense" which exemplifies the philosophy of Takeo-Ryu.
In Takeo-ryu Combat Goshin Jitsu, the combative elements are based on the triangle. The triangle is the strongest geometric structure because it takes the load at the smallest point and distributes the weight over a wide base. Your body, in the natural and defensive stance, is shaped like a triangle with your feet as the base and your head as the point. Your goal is to break the attacker's balance thus taking his power from him while maintaining your balance so that you can neutralize his attack and launch your counterattack. This requires intensive training and dedicated practice of every student participating in Takeo-Ryu Combat Goshin Jitsu.
From the training syllabus of Takeo-Ryu Combat Goshin Jitsu, you will be taught techniques to employ when defending against various types of armed or unarmed attacks. The techniques are small in number in order to insure that they may be practiced regularly enough to develop muscle memory or "mushin" as it is called in Japan. When attacked, there is no time to think; your reflexes must take over. Developing fundamental, realistic self-defense techniques is an absolute must in today's violent society.
Takeo-Ryu Combat Goshin Jitsu is not a sport - it is strictly taught for self-defense purposes employing techniques that focus on the preservation of one's life!
