Shoshin Ryu is a Japanese based system of martial arts. It is both bujutsu (a school emphasizing effective martial arts techniques ) and budo (a school emphasizing personal character development).
Shoshin Ryu is a dynamic art that offers its practitioners a wide range of techniques and methods to defend themselves both physically and mentally. It changes to fit the challenges of the times and yet carries with it the essence of previous generations.
Shoshin Ryu is a cooperative school rather than a competitive one. It is a traditionally based system which stresses self-defense and personal growth. Like many physical activities, Shoshin Ryu offers overall physical fitness including increased strength, flexibility and coordination. It also provides stress release and increased mental “firmness and flexibility”.
It then goes further by adding the self-confidence, calmness, and compassion that comes with a higher efficiency and effective self-defense system. Tolerance and loyalty stemming from its Japanese heritage are also developed.
