(Adults - over 16 - only)
Hoshinjutsu is a combative art based on American, British, French, Russian, Israeli, Chinese and Japanese traditions that is continually evolving through the skills and experiences of its teachers.
In Hoshin we do not train for tournaments but rather for self protection and self development.
Techniques in Hoshin do not require great physical strength but rather knowledge and manipulation of balance, pressure points and energy.  Hoshin emphasises development of the mind and includes study of basic massage, meditation, psychology, physiology and anatomy within its curriculum.
Sessions are friendly, relaxed, informal and participants are encouraged to progress at their own rate.
