- Kempo: Offensive and defensive techniques using the human body as a natural weapon; kicking, striking, and blocking.
- Aiki-jujitsu: The art of locking joints to cause separation.
- Jo-jujitsu: The art of stick fighting.
- Kendo: Sword techniques.
- Jeute: Defense with a blunt instrument.
- Ukemi: The art of falling.
- Jujitsu: The art of throwing.
