Life Protection Arts

Learn the empty hand and weapons-based self-defense fighting systems of Okinawan karate and kobudo and Filipino kali, escrima, and arnis.

We study the combative concepts of masters whose life work was their art and teachings. These are not only complete and tested methods of self defense, but also a path for serious practitioners to develop their potential in all aspects of life.

The true heart of the warrior is more than just the ability to fight. You may never need use the destructive nature of the arts. However, every single day you must practice respect for yourself and those around you, use your hands not to harm, but to create and to compassionately help those in need, and develop a discipline of constant improvement of the mind, body and spirit.
