Shoshin Ryu of NC

Shoshin Ryu of NC Shoshin Ryu Of North Carolina Men, women, children, and senior citizens, all train Shoshin Ryu. Shoshin Ryu is open to everyone. Everyone starts at the beginning!

It is a martial art with something for everyone. It provides the flexibility to handle most any situation and the diversity of techniques to adapt to any body. Whether a student, doctor, lawyer, nurse, secretary, house-wife, pilot, officer, teacher, counselor, or whoever, all are welcome! It then goes farther by adding the self-confidence, calmness, and compassion that comes with a higher efficien

cy and effective self-defense system. Tolerance and loyalty stemming from its Japanese heritage are also developed. All this is done safely with limited risk of injury. Most everyone is capable of making shodan (black belt) if they train. Shoshin Ryu gives each individual the opportunity to progress at their own pace. Through the opportunity to work with various students, one gains a variety of experiences. During the learning process, all students must attempt to keep an open mind. You can still begin training even if you are too old, too young, too overweight, too weak. Through your own personal efforts and training Shoshin Ryu your overall health will improve. Each journey must start with a first step. It is sometimes slippery, the unknown, but do not be afraid – Shoshin people are warm, friendly and helpful. Remember, if you knew all the skills and answers you wouldn’t need the training. There is a mutual trust, cooperation, protection, and care for all. This is the truthful heart way.
