The philosophy of this art does not manifest itself in seeking harm. Instead, it strives to equip practitioners with techniques that allow them to walk away from difficult situations. Defusing techniques are of utmost importance, but it needs confidence to utilise these techniques effectively.
Shinto ryu is a street defence strategy encompassing the “hard” (forceful self-defence) and “soft” (acceptance and deflection) elements of various martial arts styles. It has developed into a unique self-defence system suitable for all, irrespective of age, fitness or gender. Shinto ryu teaches practitioners skills they can adapt to any situation: hard techniques might be required in response to aggression or physical violence, yet Shinto ryu’s softer techniques might be more appropriate in an unsolicited or threatening situation.
