Basic requirements for practicing KUF Agni Kempo
The Agni Kempo practitioner must follow these requirements:
"Be humble" - do not show off your skills and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Hold back your ego and control your mind so that they don't let you down during a real combat situation. Be prepared to listen to criticism and guidance from others.
“Be timely” - do the right thing at the right time and in the right place. Your ability to survive in a real battle depends on your physical and mental state. Use all your capabilities, all the advantages of technology and conditions prevailing in a particular situation, with the aim of effective and quick impact.
"To be adequate" - means to acquire the ability to determine the degree of strength of possible attacks. This is especially important during classes with young people who need to be trained in self-control and avoiding violence, but at the same time, developing their ability to effectively protect themselves. This principle means: try to avoid conflict first, but if you are attacked, respond with an adequate level of strength sufficient to neutralize the threat and avoid your danger.
"To be invulnerable" - means to achieve a high level of professionalism in self-defense. If you are injured, you must know how to meet the attack (kicks, punches, weapons) and perform the correct action, being in a newly acquired state.
“Being skillful” - means gaining so high professionalism that there is no need to kill. The trained fighter Agni Kempo does not need to do unnecessary harm to his opponent, as he is able to end the conflict quickly and effectively. Cultivate respect for people around you, showing it even in extreme situations. On the other hand, do not forget the saying: “If someone comes to kill you, kill him first!”, Referring to uncompromising situations when the question is: “live or die!”.

Agni Kempo Self-Defense
Self-defense is the foundation of Agni Kempo. Her diverse techniques have been developed to allow those involved in the KUF AK to protect themselves and others from hostile, aggressive attacks, avoid getting injured, overcome attacks and neutralize attackers. KUF Agni Kempo’s self-defense techniques include protection against a wide range of unarmed, but very dangerous attacks, such as punching, kicking, strangling, grabbing the head, body, etc. These include life-threatening situations when the aggressor is armed with a stick , with a knife, a gun, an assault rifle or even a hand grenade. At the very beginning of the development of Agni Kempo, we were faced with the need to efficiently and quickly train a large number of people with completely different levels of physical fitness - from the excellent form of yesterday's soldiers to the completely unsportsmanlike graduates of schools, students and the elderly. As a result, it was noticed that Agni Kempo’s self-defense techniques can be successfully used by men and women, regardless of their various physical characteristics, abilities, strength and age.
Agni Kempo's self-defense techniques are based on simple and natural movements that are very effective and easy to learn. Students learn to apply these principles and techniques in various situations, acting in the dark, in a sitting or lying position, or in other complicated situations, when they must protect themselves, despite the fact that their ability to move is severely limited.
Hand-to-hand combat at Agni Kempo
Hand-to-hand combat at KUF Agni Kempo belongs to a more sophisticated phase of preparation, in which students learn how to quickly and effectively neutralize the enemy. In this part of the system, elements are considered that are directly related to the duel: attacks, defenses, correct calculation and timing, feints, tactics, development of the ability to anticipate attacks, etc., as well as some necessary psychological and mental techniques that allow you to survive in such dangerous situations.
Melee of Agni Kempo
Over the years of the establishment of the KUF Agni Kempo, a whole training system has been developed for face-to-face combat or close combat, which covers both technical, methodological and tactical aspects.
Melee at Agni Kempo is considered the highest school of excellence.
Weapon of the KUF Agni Kempo
A high level of skill at Agni Kempo is the skillful opposition of an unarmed fighter to an armed opponent. Knowing and owning the weapons of the various systems studied at Agni Kempo allows you to more successfully complete this task.
In a real battle situation, you can take possession of your opponent’s weapons, but your life and the life of those around you may depend on whether you can use it and how well you do it.
At the KUF, Agni Kempo is studying only the types of weapons that are used today. These are knives, pistols and revolvers of various systems, sticks and batons of various lengths, long-barreled types of firearms from a pump-action rifle to a Kalashnikov assault rifle, nunchaku, tonfa and tes-shu (adopted by the police from around the world).
At Agni Kempo, we train in operational shooting, knife fighting, throwing a knife and other objects, and extreme driving a car.
But it must be remembered that the highest level in our training system is the ability to foresee and avoid conflict situations.
