The Philosophy of the GyeNyame Ryu System of JuJitsu

Soke Adam Battle

The goal of the Gye Nyame Ryu System of JuJitsu, founded by Soke Adam Battle, is to provide each practitioner with the knowledge and skills necessary to survive and prosper. Soke Battle believed that the Martial Artist must strive for perfection in four areas:

  1. Physical Conditioning
  2. Mental Discipline
  3. Self-Defense
  4. Spiritual Discipline

Gye Nyame Ryu, which translates as the School of the Omnipotent and Immortal God, offers a simple and direct approach to the road of life - Proceed along the way facing both positive and negative experiences with patience and discipline. However, be aware that the way is also traveled by people of ill intent. Carefully Read those whom you meet; Recognize his/her intent for good or ill; React to good intent by returning good; React to evil intent by avoidance where possible, and deflection when necessary; and Respond with confrontation when unavoidable.
