People seek martial arts training for a variety of reasons, and self defense is the most common. A wonderful starting point, but the long term gains go far beyond. Any one of our students can relay personal experiences of:

• Developing good personal habits:

  • self control

  • discipline

  • awareness

  • patience

  • mindfulness

  • focus

  • goal setting

  • determination

  • perserverance

• Pride in commitment and accomplishments,

• Overcoming adversity

• Fighting against mental health issues

• Confidence in knowing one is capable of helping themselves

The list goes on. Only the individual who trains can discover the better in themselves. Martial arts training requires the union of mind, body and spirit: all 3 facets working together.

“First it is physical: you learn to how to move. Then it is mental: you learn when to move. Then it is spiritual: you come to understand why.” O-Sensei Yamashita
