In 2005 Kris Kademian developed a system based on a scientific interpretation of common elements and strategy found in all martial arts. The focus was to stress sound scientific concepts and realistic combat strategy that would universally apply to any technique. It was also to encompass a well-rounded training curriculum that would address diverse scenarios and cultivate a strong physical and mental disposition. This system eventually came to be known as KIBUKAN®.


Since those early days Kris Kademian has instructed at multiple studios, seminars and workshops that have included civilians, law enforcement and military personnel. He has received several black belts and Hall of Fame inductions and is a sought after teacher and mentor. Now a Grandmaster himself, Kris Kademian continues to train and work hard, always seeking ways to improve his unique system, ensuring that it preserves its rich heritage and remains adaptable to modern needs.
