member of society. Each point also represents each of the four elements:
heaven, earth, fire and water. Respectively it also means wisdom, love,
courage and friendship. The four points of the emblem represent many aspects
of our martial art. The Sanjal was originally
formed by four instructors. This martial art was influenced by four styles or
currents of martial arts at its inception. There are four philosophical
objectives in Sanjal, four forms of training, four
fighting distances, etc. The ying-yang of four drops, represents the
continuous movement of the Sanjal Uiam. In other words, the continuous evolution of the
art. It is also the main symbol of the Uiam, the
family and symbol of union. The fists at the bottom represent the fundamental
fist of the Sanjal Uiam
Kempo. In this art the fists are mainly vertical. Not horizontal like in
modern boxing and karate and many other martial arts. Colors also have their
meaning. Reflected in the logo and in the uniform, black represents a very
strong and deep base. The blue the water, the flexibility. We are able to
quickly adapt to any situation we face with our well-founded principles. Style motto: “Being like water.” Goals: The objective of this martial
art is to achieve mastery of the "force of love" to achieve inner
peace that is the essence of happiness. The disciple believes in the mutation
of one's own character, to satisfy physical and spiritual needs and to be
part of a society with respect, understanding and the enrichment of the
spirit in the context of today's civilization. The effort that the
practitioner makes to improve his own individuality, leads to the cult of
cooperation among men, then it is the expression of society and its essential
values. Background of system: Seido kempo Toong Sau Shu, Shorinji Kempo, Tae Kwon Do, traditional Karate do,
