The Shoshin Ryu style is based on traditional Japanese martial arts, and embraces the idea of development and personal growth in training along with learning effective techniques. Core self-defense is taught with attention to practical and realistic self-defense situations.
People of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and skills train the art of Shoshin Ryu. Our art provides the opportunity to learn how to handle most any situation and the diversity of techniques to adapt to any body. Shoshin Ryu is open to everyone.
