Children's
Classes |
| |
At the
Academy of Martial Arts, we pride ourselves on our
Children's
Program. All Children's classes
are taught by Chief Instructor Terry Dow, who has over
20 years of teaching experience with children.
When looking for a program for children, one of the
most important things to look for is not so much in
WHICH
art to enroll your child in, but which INSTRUCTOR is
best for your child! We
utilize positive training approaches that instill
the following characteristics into children:
RESPECT & DICIPLINE -
CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM -
COORDINATION / FOCUS & AWARENESS
The Program teaches Children the basics of Martial
Arts giving them a goal oriented approach to
achieving higher
belt levels, and improving their over all skills.

Kenpo
Karate |
| |
The
Kenpo Program at Terry Dow’s
Academy of Martial Arts is a blend of old Shaolin Kenpo,
and Kosho shorei ryu kenpo.Shaolin Kenpo is a striking
art based on combinations of movements designed for
self defense purposes.
Kosho ryu is the study
of natural movements utilizing strikes, locks and
throws. This system is now headed
by Bruce Juchnik, Hanshi. The system was passed
on to him from one of his teachers, James Mitose. It
encompasses any movements or techniques that the
practitioner feels
natural about executing at any given time. The
art
encompasses any martial system that follows natural
laws and principles of movement. Though using set
techniques as a learning tool, the art teaches
you to be creative
in the way you move or react and adapt to any situation.

Suspect
Control and Restraint (SCR) |
| |
There
is a growing need for modifications of conventional
law enforcement Suspect Control and Restraint techniques.
This course will enhance and improve on the basic defensive
tactics already
taught to law enforcement
and will specifically
focus on bridging the gap between the officer and
a suspect during an altercation and maintaining
control of a suspect
during handcuffing and the subsequent arrest of
the suspect.
With the SCR program officers will learn and become
proficient in a wide variety of situations. In
each situation, will
be taught how to maintain control of a suspect
during an altercation and how to end the altercation
with
the officer being uninjured and having complete
control of
the suspect. More info..

Iaido
Sword |
| |
Historically, the samurai of Japan used Iaido as
a fighting method. They were trained to draw their
swords
and battle their opponents using the quickest and most
efficient moves possible. Attention to detail and accuracy
were strongly emphasized as the smallest of mistakes
could be fatal.
The origins of Muso Jikiden
Eishin-Ryu (Peerless, Direct Transmission, True-Faith
Style)
can be traced back
450 years to Hayashizaki Minamoto Jinsuke Shigenobu
(1546-1621) who was born in northern Japan.
It is said that he wanted to avenge the death of his
father
and was inspired to create Shinmei Muso-Ryu
(Divinity Inspired Unparalled Style) while praying
for
guidance. Over the last 450 years this style has evolved
and has been passed down to different sokes
or headmasters
in charge of maintaining the integrity of
the style. The current and 22nd soke is Takashi Ikeda
Sensei.
