The name 'Liikan' is composed of two words, Lii
and Kan which are the names for the 'I Ching' (Chinese Book of Changes)
symbols, Fire and Water. This also reflects on the nature and sources of
our core system, Japanese Jiu Jitsu (Ju Jutsu) and Chinese Kung Fu. In
the Finnish language, Liikan has a different meaning implied, hence the
use of a hyphen (Lii-Kan) when writing in Finnish. In accordance with
the style name and outlook, we have even adopted a couple of theme tunes, which, you
will no doubt, encounter whilst watching our own videos ;-) and, that
you might enjoy listening to whilst browsing our site:
The core of our martial arts system is Shorinjitsu, to
which, many other facets/schools of knowledge have been added in modern
times to create the overall Lii-Kan Jitsu personal security and
protection system. The local club (in Finland) is registered in Vantaa
as Liikan Jitsu Club ry and in Espoo as the Liikan Jitsu Club, Espoo ry.

Ju Jutsu with a Taste of Kung Fu and a Touch of Kyusho
Not a cultural antique, neither a combat sport, nor a
crude and clumsy quick-fix, half-baked partial art with self-defence

of the main style and training programme.
