All of life is a vast and exciting storehouse of potential for gaining ever more insights into the process of cultivating the
personal power, resourcefulness, broad-vision, receptiveness, peace and happiness that characterize a human life
lived to the fullest.
True growth results from a blending of two directions in your training. On one hand it is crucial to seek out knowledge.
On the other hand, it is equally crucial to cultivate personal experience with any knowledge gained.
Knowledge without experience is of little value in providing you any actual power in the world. Likewise, experience
without the enrichment of knowledge is of little benefit in taking you to the personal advancement you seek.
Ryu Toushi martial arts is a thorough system of personal preparation for facing the kinds of conflict and opposition
that can arise in the course of our daily living.
The Ryu-Toushi martial arts training program leads to the ability to live life fully, fearlessly, and freely while at the
same time giving each student the knowledge and experience to lead a more healthy and productive lifestyle.
It is very important that future generations be handed down the traditional teaching of Shoalin Kung Fu, but at the
same time, Ryu Toushi is a martial arts training system that is built around a very modern approach to handling
successfully the kind of threats and confrontations that are most likely in our own modern culture.
Ryu Toushi is a reality based martial arts training system that includes instruction in tactics and techniques for dealing
with:
Grappling, throwing, choking, and joint-locking
Striking, kicking, and punching
Stick, blade, cord, and projectile weapons

Defending from the ground
Ryu Toushi also includes the very important traditional teachings of Shoalin Kung Fu which include:
Traditional fighting techniques
Katas

The techniques at the center of our training methods are based on an ancient and well-tested system of traditional
Chinese and Japanese martial art systems that have been in existence for thousands of years. Ryu Toushi is a
well-blended martial art system that has sprouted from the roots of thousands of years of training and perfection of
various arts such as: Shoalin KungFu, Tai-Chi Chuan, Bagwazhang, Kyusho, Shotoakan, and Iaido.
