Koei-kan was brought to USA/NJ in 1954 by Shihan Edward Kaloudis (8th Dan) and propogated worldwide by Shihan Brian Frost (8 th Dan.) Koei-Kan was established in Cortland NY. and Atlanta GA. by Shihan Victor Bellott (6th Dan), direct student and disciple of Onishi, Kaloudis and Frost Sensei, and and Sandan Pam Bellot.

The program has been taught at the YMCA for the past 37 years, and is a culmination of Karate, Ju-Jitsu, Judo, Kubodo (weapons), Kung-Fu, Pankration and other martial arts. It teaches each student to strive for the highest degree of self-attainment and to embrace true ethics of Bushido; (humility, truth, self-discipline, self-esteem, peace, respect, unselfishness, honor, and courage).

Koei-Kan exemplifies the principle, “There are no superior styles of martial arts, only superior Martial Artists” whom are always learning, improving, and perfecting. Koei-kan has dojos throughout the United States, Japan, South America, and Greece. Classes at Cortland YMCA are currently taught by Brian Lann (Nidan – 2nd degree) and Carter O’Gorman (Nidan – 2nd degree). [All Koei-Kan Sensei are Japan Certified and recognized in the Martial Arts World.]

Koei-kan is Worldwide and Olympic Committee certified, and consist of advancing continuous program sessions!

It is difficult to know exactly how the Vikings fought, when they did not leave any written records behind to describe this. If we examine the contemporary European written sources, which describe their plundering, these rarely provide any information about the forms of combat they used. However, we can find out more about Viking battle techniques by looking at the weapons that they left behind.

A battle started with the deployment of longbows. The arrows shot from these could deplete enemy ranks, before swords, spears and axes were brought into action. Such Viking longbows have been found at Hedeby. Measuring 193 cm in length, these must have had a range of a couple of hundred metres. When the Viking warriors came closer to their enemy, spears were thrown. Upon making contact with the enemy, they used lances, axes and swords as weapons, whilst protecting themselves with shields.

We also have some knowledge about the tactics that were deployed in the major attacks carried out by Viking fleets. This is because the chronicle writers often give an estimate of how many ships and men were involved in the individual attacks.
