A Genuine Journey in Personal Growth
Becoming Robust, Able and Peaceful
I am re-posting a piece from my teacher, Stephen K. Hayes, about the opportunity for self defence experts and the ability to truly offer a path to enlightenment.

This topic is near and dear to my heart, not only as a martial artist for over twenty years, but as a Mother and other half.
Just yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking with a martial arts master that I ran into in the city, and hadn?t seen for many years. It is generally an honour to be told about decades and decades of coaching and expansion. This man has been employed by two local karate faculties to come teach, as they have noticed a lack of depth in their programs.
I salute their search for data! And I ask all our students (and community members considering coming to train and grow with us) if our To-Shin Do program is complete? Do we have a plan in place to safely teach and handle expanding your awareness (one of the ninja keys- avoid the trouble before it starts)? In each belt journey, do we experience methods to deal with the unexpected- whether overwhelmed or out-muscled? Do we train in all planes (upright, on the ground, from behind, while being grabbed, and so on.)? In every class, do we stretch our bounds safely? Do we have a code to live by- not created and sold in the last 10 years, but a ?secret? Code handed down for hundreds of years, on which all modern psychology is based? Do we have an real meditation system to show you how to tap into your potential OFF THE MAT?
With pride and honor, I say yes. Yes, we've all the above and more. You simply can't piece a puzzle together without the grander scheme of united guidelines handed down from initiated teachers.
Using technology passed down from the Himalayas, and taijutsu from the mountains of Japan, we explore our potential in each class, and support expansion as a tranquil soldier. This is a journey for community members that are prepared to see possibilities, actually find out how to banish obstacles and create a clear trail for success.
Others will imitate personal growth teachings; many will make attempts to add more stuff to their physical coaching. And we will smile as we welcome home new members to the first empowerment coaching and thoughtfully guide them to unleash their potential.
Welcome to the journey of becoming strong, capable and peaceful.
