HON-SHIN-DO
Shorei-Ryu

The US Academy of the Martial Arts &

The US Christian Academy of the Martial Arts

were both born out of the effort of Master Leo Kozloski.

Master’s Bruce Saver and Eric Cranston, as well as sensei’s Shawn Morris and Diane Ahmann were the main catalyst for this Martial Art school with roots deep in the Okinawan style of Shorei-Ryu .

Hon - Is true        Shin - Is from the heart        Do - Is the way

The Translated Meaning of HON-SHIN-DO is

THE- WAY- OF- THE- TRUE -HEART

For those who practice Hon-Shin-Do-Shorei-Ryu as a way of life it becomes more than merely a method of fighting and physical fitness. There are mental rewards such as self-confidence, pride and patience. A new state of mind begins to form. The need to be a bully or overbearing is lost to the feeling of self-confidence. Pride in yourself overcomes a desperate need to aggressively prove one's individual worth.

Patience and inner peace are found in training and performance of the art.

Patience is a virtue that is a large and meaningful factor in the practice of

Hon-Shin-Do-Shorei-Ryu

For one to truly learn Hon-Shin-Do-Shorei-Ryu patience, pure motives, attitude of serene determination and humbleness must be developed. This must reflect in the outlook on fellow human beings as well as one's self and the world about you.

Hon-Shin-Do- Shorei-Ryu therefore becomes a basic part of existence.

Fear and anger are replaced with tranquility. For those who believe in the non-violent creed of Hon-Shin-Do-Shorei-Ryu an inner peace is obtained.
