Teaching Inner Strength and Courage

“If you believe in yourself, have courage and never quit, you will achieve your life goals. The journey towards personal success can sometimes be difficult, but the rewards are very worthwhile.”

The traditional definition of “samurai” means “to serve”.  Michael Green’s service is to the next generation.  As a sensei, or teacher, Michael integrates personal development with service to others.  Young men and women learn by example and participation that true strength of character finds its greatest expression when one’s energy and talents are applied to raising humanity through compassionate action.

“Knowledge is not power, it is only potential. Applying that knowledge is power. Understanding why and when to apply that knowledge is wisdom!” ~Takeda Shingen

Writes Michael:  “By becoming involved with Martial Arts training, there will be many goals that each person will have the opportunity to aspire towards regardless of age, gender or culture. And it is through this journey towards the attainment of personal goals that many important benefits can be gained. Valuable benefits such as an increase in self-esteem and inspiration have a very strong potential to positively impact upon the way in which a person feels about themselves and also the way in which they interact and share with others.  To pursue a life of positive goal setting, self-development and personal achievement can really be a great way to channel our thoughts and energy in a healthy direction”
