Tamashii Ryuu is not just a "martial art"- it is a way of life. We emphasizes the mental discipline and philosophy of life essential in uniting the mind, body, spirit, and character and we strive to teach and live the philosophical aspects of our system every day.
Our mission is to teach students the importance of Fitness and Self-Defense, while they practice the rules of Respect, Discipline, and Self-Control in their everyday life. Contributing to character development positively affects the lives of children, their families, their schools, and our community as a whole.
