“Fall down seven times, get up eight.”
Sensei Strickland instructs adults and children’s classes with an emphasis on practical self defense and application of the “5 fingers” of Shoshin Ryu martial arts.
Students who train with Sense Strickland – including his daughter Madison and son Ethan – gain a broad education in Shoshin Ryu with a focus in Newaza (ground defense), Buke Keiko (weapons including stick and knife), and Nage (throws).
