WHAT IS KOROHO
- WHAT IS KOROHO -
Super Self-defense KOROHO is simple and easy to learn .
Super self-defense KOROHO has been well publicized in televisions, newspapers, andmagazines.
We have held many seminars in Japan and foreign countries. KOROHO has been studied and used by the French National Special Police (Gendarmerie) in south France and Krav Mage (Self-defense ) instructors in Italy.There is also a KOROHO Federation in Europe .
KOROHO is practical ,simple and easy to learn , so students include not only policemen , military men , bodyguards and martial artists, but also the general public .
In today's life, most of criminals use some type of weapon(knife, gun, stick, etc).
Most of today's martial arts set the sport as the main goal.
Even if you practice martial arts for many years, it is very difficult to protect yourself from an assailant's sudden attack with a weapon.
The KOROHO system is easy and quickly learn . KOROHO employs mainly high speed and simple movements to guard against a sudden attack by using basic human instincts and reflexes.
So, even if you do not have strength or a big body, you can defend yourself from an assailant.

About Masashi YOKOYAMA & KOROHO
Master Masashi YOKOYAMA was born to a family of martial arts experts.
At a young age he was taught a very traditional Japanese martial arts which came from the Banshu Region of Japan.
This martial arts called "Mondo Ryu Heiho", which consists of the study of Jujutsu, Kenjutsu (swordsmanship), etc.
It was originally consigned to the group of the vanguard Samurai during the civil war era. It was valued for its efficiency in battle .
Now, he has got a title of 15th Grand master of Mondo Ryu Heiho.
When he was young, he practiced Karate, Chinese martial art, and swordsmanship.
He had been in many foreign countries (South-east Asia, China and Europe) for the promotion of the international exchange.
At that time, he had some dangerous experiences.
Using his experiences in the martial arts, he developed his own style, a marriage between efficiency and simplicity, which he called KOROHO.
This word, which can be translated as "to continue to move forward with a pure soul".
He has desire to improve martial art techniques by adapting them to reality.
This contemporary method of self- defense quickly came to the attention of the police forces in many different countries, many of whom asked Master YOKOYAMA to come and teach seminars in his style to their elite forces.
KOROHO style is based on human instinct through the acquisition of simple techniques,
You can react in the face of aggression.

I am writing to thank you for the various courses of KOROHO that you have taught in France.
Upon taking the courses, the participants and I were able to appreciate your teaching and the effectiveness of your method of self-defense. Members of the police forces present at these courses were impressed by the simplicity and the realism of the demonstrated techniques and in particular the techniques of defense against armed attackers .
I believe that your methods are very adaptable to police work not merely because of their effectiveness but also because of the ease in which these techniques can be employed.

- I would like to learn more. I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to participate in the next session.
- I enjoyed taking part in this course, as it dealt effectively with the dangers of day-to-day life.
- There were many practical exercises. Methods of self –defence against sudden attacks in a corridor, in a tight space, at a corner or blind spot were all very helpful and informative.
- As the Master is an excellent teacher, the course was easy to understand.
- I'm sure all instructions the Master gave us will help us deal with emergency situations. The programme made me reflect on my life, as I've always lived without a real understanding of potential dangers.
- The guidance was excellent. I used to believe that self-defence techniques would be difficult to perform and understand, but thanks to the instructors’ easy methods, I could easily learn the material. All the instructions were practical and focused on situations one might encounter in one’s daily life.
Sincerely,
A. Miwa
