This is a Life Protection Arts School that descended from the teachings of Taika Seiyu Oyata. He did not call his art a 'Martial Art' as he believed what he taught was not about war, but saving the lives of yourself, family and friends. The instructors/owners of the school trained with Taika for 24-34 years respectively, till the time of his death in 2012. We stay true to the teachings and philosophies of Taika Seiyu Oyata, continuing to carry the torch as he gave it to us.
Taika Seiyu Oyata received his initial training from two instructors; one Chinese, one Okinawan. Thus, this is a hybrid. Though it is commonly associated and linked to Karate, it has a much more fluid basis than most forms.
Age Requirements
This is an adult learning environment in that these techniques are serious and should not be taken lightly by children who's minds are not quite ready for the decisions that might need to be made during a life or death confrontation. As such, we typically require students be at least 16 years of age.
Age requirements may be waived for the Women's Self-Defense courses.
Younger students may, at the owners discretion, be admitted on a trial basis.
