Ages 18 and up:Japanese Classical Martial Arts are the version of Martial Arts that tries to understand, learn and incorporate the samurai philosophy, to follow and emulate their ability in the martial arts. The purpose of our training is the development of inner strength to put it to the service of our families, schools and community. In the process, by the training, we'll develop confidence, self-assurance and physical strength but also instinctive reactions or reflexes. Competition is a matter of sports. Classical Martial Arts is not a sport. It is a way of life. That is what the 'DO' means. Further inquire: bskofmc@gmail.com
