Are you the owner of BuKenKan?
Welcome to BuKenKan, a physical fitness programme in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Represented by Scott Richardson, a member of the United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance (URKA), BuKenKan aims to embody the principles of Ryukyu Kempo and apply them to a practitioner's daily life. The name “BuKenKan” itself was bestowed upon the dojo by Kaicho Amor and signifies the warrior's commitment to grasping and living by the Dojo Kun and Guiding Principles.
BuKenKan Dojo has a rich history, having been established in October 1996. Initially known as Bell Block Karate (for juniors) and Ryukyu Kempo New Plymouth (for adults), the dojo was founded to provide a space for continued learning and teaching of martial arts. Scott Richardson, who embarked on his martial arts journey in 1983, played a vital role in the establishment of BuKenKan. In June 2005, Scott became a member of the URKA, and in January 2006, the entire school transitioned to teaching solely the URKA syllabus.
As a testament to the dojo's commitment to excellence, all the black belts (Yudansha) in BuKenKan are certified by Amor Kaicho.
