Our Programs
Toshin-Do Ninjutsu
Toshindo Ninjutsu is a contemporary martial arts system that draws from the ancient techniques and philosophies of the Togakure Ninja, a lineage dating back over 1,000 years in Japan. Developed by Stephen K. Hayes, a prominent martial artist and author, Toshindo Ninjutsu aims to adapt the traditional methods of the ninja to modern-day self-defense and personal development.
This system emphasizes a holistic approach to martial arts training, focusing not only on physical techniques but also on mental and spiritual growth. Practitioners learn a variety of skills, including strikes, joint locks, throws, and ground-fighting techniques, as well as the use of traditional Japanese weapons such as the sword (katana), staff (bo), and throwing stars (shuriken).
Toshindo Ninjutsu also incorporates principles of stealth, strategy, and adaptability, teaching students how to remain calm and effective in stressful situations. The training is designed to build confidence, discipline, and a deep understanding of the body-mind connection, making it a comprehensive martial art for self-defense and personal empowerment.
Japanese Kickboxing
Japanese kickboxing is a dynamic combat sport that combines techniques from traditional karate and Muay Thai, resulting in a distinctive style that emphasizes powerful strikes, precision, and fluid movement. Originating in the 1960s in Japan, it was developed to blend the effective striking techniques of karate, such as punches, kicks, and knee strikes, with the clinch and elbow strikes characteristic of Muay Thai.
Practitioners of Japanese kickboxing train extensively in both offensive and defensive skills, focusing on delivering fast, powerful combinations while also evading or blocking incoming attacks. The sport is known for its rigorous training routines, which include pad work, sparring, and conditioning exercises designed to build strength, speed, and endurance.
Japanese kickboxing matches are typically held in a ring, with fighters wearing gloves and protective gear. The bouts are regulated by specific rules that vary depending on the organization but generally prohibit grappling and ground fighting, emphasizing stand-up striking instead. The sport has gained international recognition and has contributed significantly to the development of other combat sports, including K-1 and mixed martial arts (MMA). It is celebrated for its effectiveness in self-defense and its demanding physical and mental discipline
Ninjutsu Weapons
​Ninjutsu, the traditional art of the ninja, encompasses a wide range of weaponry that reflects the versatility and adaptability of these historical Japanese spies and warriors. Practitioners of Ninjutsu train with various weapons to develop skills in stealth, surprise, and combat efficiency. Some of the key weapons used in Ninjutsu include:
Katana
Tanto:
Seban and Needle Shuriken
Kusarigama
Bo
Naginata
Kasurai Fundo
Yari
Shuko
Training with these weapons not only hones a ninja's combat skills but also emphasizes the principles of stealth, adaptability, and resourcefulness that are central to Ninjutsu.
MMA/Ground Tactics/Fitness
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that incorporates techniques from various martial arts disciplines, including boxing, wrestling, Jujutsu, Kickboxing and Ninjutsu. Fighters in MMA use a combination of striking and grappling techniques to defeat their opponents, either by knockout, submission, or judges' decision. The sport takes place in a regulated environment, often within a cage or ring, with rules designed to ensure the safety of the competitors. MMA has grown rapidly in popularity worldwide, celebrated for its dynamic and unpredictable nature, which showcases the versatility and skill of its athletes. The sport not only tests physical prowess but also mental strategy, as fighters must adapt to their opponents' styles and find the best way to secure victory
