We practice a comprehensive style of Christian mixed martial arts called
Shinsei Hapkido. We also teach fun and interesting fitness classes in a family
friendly environment where we focus on the individual as part of a team.
Combat skills that are martial in nature but do not mutually benefit the
practitioner and their community are not considered martial arts. Mutual benefit
must be a component, as well as character development of the practitioner.
Martial arts utilize a variety of combat methods. There are basically five types
of fighting systems in the world: energy systems, weapon systems, kick
systems, hit systems and grappling systems.
There is a difference between martial art and martial sport. Martial sport is for
tournament circuits and opponents are engaged and held by strict rules. In the
same regard, not all activities designated as martial arts are martial or artistic.
While some developed from warrior combat, other martial arts developed as a
means for spiritual and physical development. We learn about martial sport and
practice certain aspects of it but we focus almost entirely on the martial art.
Martial arts are combat arts, methods for killing an opponent in battle. Martial
ways, or those arts that have a spiritual component, go a step beyond combat
effectiveness. We add one more component that is summed up in our
philosophy Evade, Invade and Control. We believe in evading an attack,
invading defenses, and in controlling attackers through submissions and joint
locks whenever possible, precluding the need to kill.
The martial arts are practiced for many reasons: health, fitness, sport, law
enforcement, spiritual benefits and self-defense. This is how we view and teach
our art to our students.
