At the Triangle’s Premier Martial Arts Dojo, we focus on To-Shin Do Ninja Martial Arts in our adult program.
Based on Ninjutsu, the 1200 year old Japanese martial art of the legendary Ninja warriors, To-Shin Do was founded by Black Belt Hall of Fame member Stephen K. Hayes. To-Shin Do martial arts training develops the ability to live fully and operate effectively in all areas of life. Our program uses a thorough system of personal preparation for facing the conflicts and opposition that are inevitable in the course of everyday life.
Much more than a “fighting style,” this training extends into all aspects of life, helping you develop a more positive and self-assured outlook. To-Shin Do techniques are based on an ancient and well-tested system of warrior disciplines, handed down by nine historical Japanese family lineages. At the same time, our training program is built around a very modern approach to successfully handling the type of threats and confrontations that are a part of our own contemporary culture.
