Elements of Self Defense

About Us

Our martial art of To-Shin Do® (pronounced Toh Sheen Doh) is based on ancient warrior disciplines handed down by nine historical Japanese samurai and ninja family lineages. At the same time, ours is a modern approach to handling threats and confrontations likely in our own culture today.

Our Martial Art

To-Shin Do martial arts training was developed as a way to promote peace, security, and well-being in the world – command over adversity – never as a way to practice violence. The world needs more protectors, not more predators.

In an over-stressed society, balancing a clear mind, fit body, and centered spirit is the pathway to becoming a tatsujin – a fully actualized person operating masterfully in all areas of life.

Our People

Our dojo community is our treasure. Our students all enjoy productive, contributing, happy, and advancing lives in pursuit of perfecting the protector’s “art of winning”.

We may not look like the stereotype, if you mistakenly think of martial arts as grim confrontation or brutal competition.

We are real people – business owners, attorneys, college students, military, medical professionals, table waiters, mechanics, school teachers, police officers, teen soccer players, moms, granddads, and all of their children. In short, we are your neighbors, and we invite you to join our wonderfully supportive community of friends.

In To-Shin Do training, you will learn methods to deal with:

• Grappling, throwing, choking and joint locking

• Striking, kicking, and punching

• Self defense when pulled to the ground

• Stick, blade, cord, and projectile defense

• Gun disarms and safety

• Knife and cane defenses

• Successfully handling multiple assailants and surprise attacks

• Overcoming psychological intimidation or bullying

Adventure-based leadership development through martial arts training.

Training for mastery in all forms of conflict is at the heart of To-Shin Do. More than merely teaching techniques to be memorized, we focus on developing the whole person.

You learn adaptive strategic principles along with the tactics, so so you can practice how to take command in times of confusion, confrontation, or discouragement.

When it comes to self development self defense, our art is top-notch, our teachers are excelled in expertise, and our curriculum is unparalleled.
