Ruko is a martial art which specialises in standup grappling and striking techniques. Ruko combines techniques found in Taekwondo and Submission Wrestling. Similar to Taekwondo, Ruko focuses on fast striking techniques, especially kicking techniques because kicking is the strongest form of striking. Similar to Submission Wrestling, Ruko focuses on choke holds, take downs and throws, because nothing hits harder than the ground. Both Ruko striking and grappling techniques require minimal strength when executed correctly. Using these techniques, a smaller individual is able to defeat a much larger individual.
