Shubumi gashi,The ancient Japanese Art of The Way of The Sword. Shubumi gashi begins and ends in politeness. The focus in Shubumi gashi is on physical and mental discipline. Strategy and tactics is emphasized
through this stylized martial art. Shubumi gashi is a stylized combat which philosophy can be directly applied to business and everyday life. Shubumi gashi is the aristocracy of the martial arts. My goal is to teach Americans traditional Shubumi gashi without the impediment of a language barrier.
One of the most difficult things to do is to present a concept and an idea that is our own without sounding boisterous, arrogant, pretentious or superior. In the past years through the formulation and documentation of the Shubumi gashi this
has been one of the greatest hurdles I have had to deal with. But I have come to the realization that for everything there is a beginning and if you are in love with your creation, with your role in its development and growth and you wish to share it, then through the questions of others you will at some point have to acknowledge that these are your ideas. I realize that I must state proudly that I have been able to enhance what I have found so dear to me, the tradition of Shubumi gashi. Shubumi gashi is the fundamentals taken to what I believe are a freer flowing, more spontaneous level. I wish to express Shubumi gashi as a style that you will be able to enjoy as much as I enjoy teaching it. The unique moves of this style are seen in the original strokes of many of the most historic, well know Kendoists in the world. But from those moves I am proud to say have come the freedom, the flow and essence of Shubumi gashi.
My good fortune has been to be a student in the fundamentals and the traditional history of Shubumi gashi. My rewards have been to see the many areas of knowledge come together and flow through my teachings and students into what you are about to share, which is called Shubumi gashi.
