Welcome to the US Combat Dojo. We train in martial arts because
ithelps us with respect, self-control, discipline, confidence,
and
patience; it helps us improve our inner self, our pride,
ourconcentration, and our relationship with other people. We do
not
train to fight, we train so we don't have to fight, but we will
be readyif it happens. The difference between a fighter and a
martial artist is
that a fighter has to fight, it's what they train for. A martial
artisttrains for him or herself, and never stops training because
they
always aim for unreachable perfection. To be a real Martial
Artist,you must treat your martial art style and your life with
humility,
respect and honor.

History of Joshiki and Kang Shi Do These are American martial
arts styles developed by MasterJonathan A. French and some of his
black belts from 2009 to2013 that combines techniques from many
different martial
arts such as Jiu-jitsu, Taekwondo, Aikido, Krav Maga,
Karate,Hapkido, Kung Fu, etc. Master French put his own little
twiston each move so it will be designed it to be effective in
real
world self-defense situations and street fights and focusing
ondefending against larger or more aggressive opponents.
Master French believes that it shouldn't take many moves totake
an attacker down no matter what the size or weight of theattacker.
Joshiki is a defense only martial art to help allow thevictim in a
attack to get away. Kang Shi Do was created as anaggressive full
contact martial art style focusing on using the
most dangerous martial art weapon on earth, the human body.The
moves were created so Master French's 10 year old son canuse on
someone over twice his size. That is what students willlearn from
these martial art courses. Joshiki and Kang Shi Do
helps us promote self control, discipline, confidence,
patience,and respect. These art forms can help us physically, and
alsohelps us change our perspectives of how we see the
world.Joshiki Self Defense and Kang Shi Do were created so
morepeople can feel comfortable in a world like ours. Neither
of
these styles are not being taught to learn how to attacksomeone,
but it is being taught to know how to defend
yourself and get away which everybody
should know how to do.
