5 Element System
We break down martial arts into 5 conceptual parts, each one represented by a core element: earth, water, wind, fire, metal.
You must be stable (earth), fluid (water), swift (wind), fierce (fire) and connected (metal) to be perfect in your approach to martial arts. While any particular martial art can be all five of these things, typically styles emphasize one element over others. For example, Aikido tends to emphasize fluidity, karate stability. But you may need to learn both if you want mastery over both of those elements.
The combination of our styles offer the ability to become proficient in all five elements, allowing a practitioner to become a complete and actualized martial artist.
