Sensei, Kevin Ball
founder of Kyuryukan Bujitsu

Kyuryukan Emblem

Gold represents good heart, good actions, and the ethic of reciprocity (Golden Rule).

Red represents martial ability and the willingness to defend oneself or others when in danger and there is no other alternative.

Black represents the sadness one experiences when forced to use their martial arts.

The kanji characters honor the classical Japanese martial arts that make up a large component of Sensei Ball’s experience.
