Welcome to Mastin's School of Martial Arts!
Anyone can teach you how to kick or punch. My goal is to make you a champion individual that can excel in all the areas of life. I strive to instill courtesy and focus in each student while building confidence and self esteem in a safe, fun and positive manner.
Even though we have multiple schools and programs, one thing remains the same. “What is that” you ask? - The traditional training atmosphere. We have thought about relocating the main school several times. It always comes back with same results: It doesn’t feel right to loose the close family mentality that has been in place for over 2 decades.
Many incredible individuals have trained with us. Some of them are: Professional football player, famous musician, police and firemen, United States soldiers and veterans, foreign exchange students, doctors, lawyers, single mothers, 3 and 4 year old children with disabilities, students that may be overweight and even a student over 70 years of age …….. the list goes on and on.
We have had several guest instructors from overseas and have several students become United States National Champions.
All of the individuals named above have 1 thing in common. When they enter the school they are all equal. My goal is simple: To help others in any way possible.
We teach traditional Matsubayashi-Ryu (Shorin-Ryu) under the direction of Soke Nagamine. Sensei Mastin has 4 copyrighted books with criteria specific directions for each belt level. The instruction and books cover all age groups from the 4 year old Little Ninja Student to the Blackbelt Adult Students.
Things covered are: stances, blocks, strikes (kicks, punches, elbows, and knees), 18 Traditional Kata, 7 Traditional Yakusoku kumites with all variations and advanced Yakusoku kumites, over 300 self defense holds, locks, grabs, throws, escapes, takedowns, Goal setting, fitness, stamina and endurance training and many other areas.
Here are some things that you can do to grow stronger as an individual and help the dojo grow stronger at the same time:
- 1.) Set a goal of attending class 1 or 2 times per week.
- 2.) Attend the correct class and be on time!
- 3.) Sponsor a friend
