Acudo Ryu: Evolving the Art of Precision and Flow

Acudo Ryu continues its journey of refinement and mastery, placing an even greater emphasis on the profound connection between martial arts and the body’s energy pathways. As part of this evolution, we are introducing a renewed focus on acupuncture points, elevating the practice to new levels of precision and effectiveness.

Key Focus Areas Starting in 2025:

1. Strategic Selection of Acupuncture Points
Instructors will now prioritize selecting the most critical acupuncture points along each meridian. This targeted approach ensures a deeper understanding of the meridians’ functions and their application in both martial and healing practices. By focusing on these key points, practitioners will gain heightened awareness and control in their techniques.


2. Enhanced Attention to Angles and Depth
A core aspect of the updated training methodology is a stronger emphasis on mastering the precise angles and depths required for effective point activation. This refinement ensures that techniques are not only accurate but also efficient, maximizing their impact while minimizing unnecessary force.


3. Combinations for Optimal Effectiveness
Acudo Ryu will also place greater importance on the strategic use of point combinations. Understanding how specific points interact and complement each other creates a synergy that enhances the effectiveness of every technique. This integrated approach will further deepen practitioners’ skill sets.


4. The Six Movements of TMM (Tendino-Muscular Meridians)
A renewed focus on the six fundamental movements of TMM will form the foundation of advanced training. These movements, rooted in the natural flow of the body’s energy, will be practiced in harmony with acupuncture point work, fostering a deeper connection between movement and energy.



By aligning traditional knowledge with modern refinements, Acudo Ryu is dedicated to preserving the essence of the art while preparing practitioners to excel in both the martial and therapeutic dimensions. This evolution reflects our unwavering commitment to growth, precision, and excellence. Together, we will continue to honor and advance the legacy of Acudo Ryu.
