Tai Shin Ki Do (the Way of the Body, Mind, and Spirit) is based on the traditional Okinawan Martial Art system known as Isshin-ryu or the “One Heart Method”. The system also includes self-defense techniques from other traditional systems such as Aikido, Judo, Kempo, and Shaolin Gung Fu. These techniques have been selected for balance, effectiveness, versatility, speed, and power. The system stresses kicks and punches thrown from natural stances, elimination of wasted motion, close-in techniques, and proficiency in both hand and foot techniques.

THE CREED OF KARATE
"I come to you with only karate, empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my honor or my principles; should it be a matter of life or death, right or wrong, then here are my weapons, my empty hands."
