As most of you know Ash traded in her dance shoes for To Shin Do (form of Karate) a few months back. She has just excelled at it and her instructor is very impressed by her picking up so quickly and her form is amazing. We are so proud of her. Here she is getting her next belt.
congratulations on achieving your yellow belt!
ReplyDeleteTo-Shin Do is a martial art style established by Stephen K. Hayes as a means of teaching ninjutsu (or taijutsu) in a format more accessible to American audiences. It is now practiced in other countries including the U.K.,Belgium, South Africa and Italy. His prior organizations, the Shadows of Iga Ninja Society, and the Nine Gates Institute, relied more on the Bujinkan's methods of instruction. To-Shin Do was founded with the aim of blending classical martial arts techniques taught with more modern educational methods and techniques. Classic weapons and historical scroll material can also be studied in To-Shin Do, along with the Stephen K. Hayes' adaptations and interpretations of same.
