Simple, Efficient & Effective
Self-defense training is primarily based on the core linage arts of Shōrin-ryū Karate, Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu and various other systems.
Shōrin-ryū is one of the oldest Okinawan mixed martial arts tracing its roots back to the Shaolin Temple of China. It is not a sport and has historically always included striking, grappling and weapons making it a complete martial art.
Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu was historically one of the main Jujitsu arts of Japan used by the Samurai. It emphasizes grappling, joint locks, restraints and sword combat. Brazilian Jujitsu, Judo and Hapkido, are modern day sport oriented hybrids of this original combat martial art.
Improvise, Adapt & Overcome
Weapons training is primarily based on the core linage arts of Matayoshi Kobudō, Bojutsu, Kenjutsu and various other weapons systems. Kobudō is a Japanese term that can be translated as "old martial way", reminiscent of the feudal times in Japan when weapons were an essential part of any training. Kenjutsu is the art of the sword.
Curriculums cover diverse types of weapons that consist of short, medium and long range weapons for adapting to a variaty of situations and include BO (staff), SAI (short sword), TONFA (batton), KAMA (sickle), NUCHAKU (roped sticks), HANBO (short sticks), TANTO (knife), TIMBE (Sheild) and the KATANA (samurai sword) SANSETSUKAN (3 section staff) and others. Weapons training is a great way to develop strength, flexibility, coordination and improvisational skills.
