Our Philosophy & Mission
 
Temple of Martial Arts philosophy reinforces the concepts that the main objective of the martial arts is the perfection of higher person's life. Constant training, in and out of the kwoon, will allow the practitioner to transend to a higher mental and physical level encompassing the preservation of health and the inprovement of personality and temperament.
 
 
"He who excels as a warrior does not appear formidable
He who excels in fighting is never aroused in anger
He who excels in defeating his enemies does not join issue
He who excels in employing other humbles himself before them
This is the virtue of non-connection and the matching of the sublimty of heaven."
 

Three Guiding Principles of TMA:

  1. WE TRAIN FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR STREET SELF-DEFENSE.
    We train to be effective in the street environment, then make adjustments to the training for students who wish to enter sporting competitions. Not the other way around.
  2. WE TRAIN WITH PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE.
    A real attacker is going to resist your efforst 100%. If you want to learn how to fight, you have to practice fighting against someone who is fighting back. Progressive resistance allows everyone, regardless of experience, to do this in a safe, fun training environment.
  3. WE TRAIN AS COMPLETE SELF-DEFENSE ATHLETES: ALL THE RANGES (STANDING, CLINCH, GROUND), MULTIPLE OPPONENTS, WEAPONRY, A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS).
    We train to be prepared for almost any situation. We want each student to actually train in as many self-defense scenarios as possible so that if a student gets into a bad situation they already have experience in that particular situation.

School pledge
 
I believe that the constant practicing of the martial arts will enable me to transend to a higher mental and physical level. I shall show respect to the art, my sifu, sihings and sidais. I shall exercise the utmost tolerance and consideration in dealing with people and general matters in and outside the temple.
