Gokenkai School Martial Arts

Welcome to the Gokenkai School Martial Arts Channel — where you can learn about Gokenkai Martial Arts, my system using Japanese/Okinawan karate & weapons, with contributions from Chinese and other styles, and self-defense and grappling from Judo and Jujitsu.

Hi, I'm Shihan Lewis Leverett, 7th Dan in Gokenkai Karate,(which translates to “Hard Fist School” in Japanese). I have 45 years of martial-arts experience in Yoshukai Karate, with self-defense training using aikido, judo, jujitsu and other grappling styles.

I create videos teaching principles, katas, and in-depth discussions of the Gokenkai system, to help you elevate your martial-arts arsenal.

What you’ll find here:
• Fundamental blocks, strikes & stances 
• Japanese karate terms & history  
• Katas, self-defense & grappling demos

If you’re into adding to your martial-arts skillset, you’ll feel right at home!
