Our Highland Broadsword is based primarily on the works of Angelo and Page, with additional study of McBane and Silver. We emphasize accuracy and control, good form, good footwork, off-line movements, and good blocking and evasion techniques.
Our Shito-Ryu Karate has an emphasis on learning effective striking & blocking. Essential skills such as movement, timing, hand-eye coordination, balance, & overall physical fitness are also emphasized.
We also teach bo/quarterstaff & jo/walking stick techniques.

We also occasionally host seminars by visiting experts. Pictured below are local martial arts instructors and students who attended a seminar given by Hanshi and 8th degree black belt John Sells in March of 2007.
