Our focus is on the promotion and preservation of quality authentic, non-animated /non- media hyped portrayal of martial arts. The goal is to present an alternative mindset free of the sport roman gladiator spectator platform or overly competitive ego-centric driven version of commercialized martial arts. Martial Arts from our perspective, is about self-study, personal protection and in-depth exploration of the synchronicity between the mind, body and spirit.
We strive to provide positive inspiring experiences and curiosity to develop the potential for all those who choose our course of study. We believe that martial arts should be a communal outlet for the exchange of cultural heritage, knowledge and the opportunity for self-inner growth without fear. It is our goal to assist in providing this type of experience to all who seek the path without bias towards age, sex, creed or fitness level. We hold true to the understanding and respect that it is the student that chooses the path not the teacher.
Ultimately, the goal of each practitioner should be the preservation and transmission of the lineage and teaching of martial arts for each generation to come. Martial arts training is invaluable because it can build through correct practice character, compassion and wisdom. We believe that it is truly the Right of Passage into the authentic self and has the potential to redefine our concept of healthy gender balance. From a martial arts perspective, both men and women are seen as having equals potential without cultural limitations.
