Chiryoku is our principle of strength through knowledge. In Japanese kanji calligraphy, it’s made up of two characters; the first, chi, means knowledge and the second, ryoku means power. So, chiryoku is the power that comes from knowledge. Together, they mean intellectual power or intelligence.
[…] Kempo Jujitsu, which provides information on martial art combining kempo and jujitsu styles, has a page that explains what chiryoku means. To find what it is interpreted, visit https://kempojujitsu.net/about/chiryoku/ […]
