Budo, Way of the Warrior
The Laramie Martial Arts Academy is home to a group of dedicated, hard-working martial artists who are committed to growing in Mind, Body and Spirit.
You will find us to be a welcoming, caring and supportive group who seek self-improvement and learning. You will also discover that we are committed to the pursuit of technical excellence as well as a deep understanding of the physiological, kinesthetic, psychological and spiritual principles that govern what we do on the mat and how they translate into everyday life.
Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo had two great maxims:
Seiroko Zenyo, which translates to 'Maximum Efficiency, Minimum Effort'
Jita Kiyoie, which translates to 'Mutual Benefit and Welfare', or more literally (and my favorite) 'You and Me Shining Together'
Our goal is to live and work with those maxims in every class.
As a traditional martial artists, our instructors draw upon a wide range of techniques and principles from multiple disciplines. Skill sets taught include engagement principles, throwing, joint locking, ground work, striking, and well as self defense applications against both armed and unarmed attackers. We also teach use of defensive weapons as an integrated part of our classes (such as the bo, the hanbo, bokken and sword, as well as weapons of opportunity). We offer classes that are both pragmatic and defense oriented, but which also focus on the life lessons that are embedded in the martial way.
