An effective martial artist is an empowered individual. And empowered individuals have the confidence to make choices and decide whether to engage in violence, or to contain/defuse a situation by other means. Thus, in the modern world an empowered martial artist is a type of person who, by having many options can make the choice to avoid/prevent violence, or when the situation demands can save himself/herself and others. The unempowered individual has no such options or choices!
In developing the system the Founder integrated the traditions of the old, with the best of the new, to form a budo system that serves: (1) As a personal discipline, (2) As a way of life, and, (3) As a path to self actualization in the physical, psychological and spiritual domains (the ultimate goal of the system).
The club includes both male and female students and community participation is encouraged. Club membership costs $35 a semester. The club is free to occasional guests and other visitors.
NOTE: We put on free demonstrations and give clinics and workshops for law enforcement, the military and security agencies.
