I have been training with Kyoshi Sherbourne for almost 20 years. In that time, I have come to have an ever growing appreciation for the vast knowledge and skill Kyoshi shares and imparts on all his students. The lessons learned and the techniques taught at SMAA are not only of top quality in regards to martial arts practice but also rooted in a long history of tradition that have been passed on for centuries by Masters of the martial arts with direct lineage to Kyoshi Sherbourne. The information gained from years of training are not only of extreme value to a persons martial arts training and development, but transcend into everyday life experiences. Be it your career, your education or in dealing with difficult situations in life, the lessons learned and the examples set by Kyoshi, are very beneficial in providing you with the tools, confidence and fortitude to face those challenges and rise above them. My son is also a dedicated member of SMAA and I am proud to watch him grow and mature over the years into a young man that not only has gained the physical agility and strength to practice martial arts but has also benefited by the positive and healthy influences provided by Kyoshi. This influence, training and guidance has helped shape his strong character and positive outlook. I would strongly recommend that anyone interested in improving their physical and mental fortitude while participating in a fun, safe and welcoming atmosphere, seriously consider taking a few complimentary classes to see for yourself the quality and fully comprehensive martial arts training SMAA provides. Be it Brazilian Jiujitsu, Okinawan Karate, Traditional weapons training or self defence techniques, the quality, expertise and knowledge provided by training with Kyoshi Sherbourne is second to none.
