“Movement within the Kata of Sentou-ryu hold the secrets to the system. As a combative system, Sentou-ryu is meant to overcome your opponent utilizing their energy and momentum against them. Once committed to launch an attack, the opponent sacrifices themselves to the practitioner’s will. Therefore, Sentou-ryu stresses proper Tai Sabaki, Maiai, Irimi and Kazushi, along with effective Atemi and Kensetsu waza.” D. Chase, Kaiso
