Philosophy is the love for wisdom, (Phil = love; sophy = wisdom), the love of improving yourself, and expanding your knowledge, to gain wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge, which is the basis of the Capkido concept.
Where is the value of wisdom without the ability to apply it? Inner research and development to bring the body, mind, and spirit to the higher levels should be the main focus in every martial arts school.
With this in mind, everyone has probably asked themselves or their instructor, “What is the philosophy behind the art they are studying?”

By now, many of you must be asking, what does CAPKIDO mean? Well, literally translated, it means:
Put together, CAPKIDO means “The way to bring the inner power to it’s highest point”. In a sense, the person training puts a “Cap” on themselves. Individually, what it means is that you can go as high as you want to go.
Capkido’s purpose is to put together a specific and very special curriculum of martial arts and related disciplines. Without these other disciplines, martial arts is just about brawling.
Capkido is organized in such a way as to promote self-expression and health, with traditional values of total body integration, inner harmony and well being for the body, mind, and spirit of the individual.
The Caprio Academy for Martial Arts Inc. takes the best from the East and West and blends the Ancient techniques with modern needs. One of the goals of the Caprio Academy for Martial Arts school is to plan its martial arts classes and workshops to deal with stress management, relaxation, body fitness, self-confidence, poise, weight control, and last but not least self-defense.
Capkido develops character, sharpens coordination, and speeds reflexes. It is an excellent way to get into shape and stay there. It provides the opportunity, regardless of physical capabilities, to work with other students and advanced martial artists, allowing any individual to make rapid progress, limited only by their own desire.
Through desire, consistency, and persistence, most students quickly find that they can do far more than they would have ever imagined.
So even though the reasons for studying a martial art such as Capkido are as varied as the needs and interests of those who study it, the main one focus that everyone can relate to is to be the best and all that you can be.

There are many styles and schools available. There are also many different aspects to these schools, whether traditional or non-traditional. Some offer more meaningful content than others. The combination of all these aspects make the school what it is. The difference is similar to the ingredients contained in soup compared to water.
To demonstrate this point, ask anyone what is in a can of soup. Their answer will obviously be soup. But what about all the other ingredients that you otherwise would not consider? The next time you have the opportunity, take a look at the label on any can. You will see that there are sometimes 20 or more ingredients in most brands. Without all of the right ingredients, prepared correctly, the taste would be very bland. With soup, the martial arts, and even life, the idea is to add flavor to the things that may seem bland and understand what they are, and how they affect what they do.

What does it mean?
By now, many of you must be asking, what does CAPKIDO mean? Well, literally translated, it means:
CAP = “The Highest Point That One May Go To”
KI = “Inner Power”
DO = “The Way”
The Capkido Philosophy is derived from an ancient philosophy. Every part of the body is rigorously trained to become a weapon.
As the saying goes “Every arm must become a spear, every open hand a sword, and every finger a dagger”.
To transfer our weak bodies into strong tools of self-defense is the primary physical goal.

What’s really different about Capkido and The BLOCK System is it does not show you any new blocks, locks, strikes, or kicks. It helped me take what I already know and taught me how to practice to make it better than I ever thought I could before.
I’ve been training for a long time and I’m ashamed to admit that all the years I spent practicing and swinging the nunchaku around were almost a waste of time. Now I dont just spin them around I can actually fight with them and I’m confident they will protect me in a real fight.
I’ve watched almost every YouTube video, and read every book I can get my hands on. I’ve been to a lot of schools in the few decades I’ve been training. There is nothing and nothing else out there that will develop this kind skill.
