Kiyojute Ryu Kempo Bugei is a total martial arts system composed of six general principles. They are Aikiho, the harmonious principle; Bukiho, the weapon principle; Goho, the strength principle; Juho, the gentle principle; Nimpo, the patience principle; and Shuho, the taking principle. These six principles form the art of Shogei Toitsu Kempo, which is the foundation of Kiyojute Ryu.
