About Us
Hoshinjutsu
Hoshinjutsu is the martial arts foundation of our system, focusing on realistic self-defense and personal transformation. Founded by Dr. Glenn J. Morris, an accomplished martial artist with deep experience in styles like Ninjutsu, Hoshinjutsu combines physical techniques with mental discipline and personal development. Central to Hoshinjutsu is the Godai movement model, based on the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. This model trains practitioners to connect specific emotions and attitudes with physical movements, enabling instinctive and effective responses in real-world situations.
- Realistic Self-Defense Scenarios: Preparing you for actual threats with practical techniques.
- Integration of Mind and Body: Aligning physical actions with mental states for enhanced effectiveness.
- Development of Internal Energy (Chi): Harnessing chi to amplify combat abilities and overall vitality.
Hoshin Healing
Under the exclusive guidance of our current Grandmaster, Soke Rob Williams, we have expanded our system to include the Hoshin Healing System. Developed entirely by Soke Williams at the request of Dr. Morris, this comprehensive healing and bodywork program draws from his extensive experience as a nationally certified massage therapist. The Hoshin Healing System focuses on the body's natural ability to heal, integrating scientific principles with traditional practices to promote overall well-being.
- Enhancing Natural Healing Processes: Applying techniques inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine to support the body's healing mechanisms.
- Integrating Touch and Intention: Combining the instinctive human impulse to heal through touch with conscious intention.
- Holistic Approach: Addressing physical, mental, and emotional health for complete well-being.
- Utilization of Internal Energy (Chi): Leveraging internal energy to facilitate healing, mirroring its use in martial techniques.
- Practicality and Effectiveness: Emphasizing easy-to-learn techniques that are highly effective and efficient.
Hoshin Tao Chi Kung
Hoshin Tao Chi Kung is the energy cultivation pillar of our system, vital for enhancing both martial prowess and personal development. Originally developed by Dr. Glenn J. Morris, this practice is based on his extensive research and experimentation with Chinese Chi Kung and the Hindu chakra system. Hoshin Tao Chi Kung offers exercises designed to prepare the body and mind for the development and manipulation of chi, or subtle energy.
- The Secret Smile: A foundational exercise that fills the mind and body with positive intention, laying the groundwork for safe and effective chi development.
- Chakra Activation: Techniques to open and balance the chakras along the spine, leading to heightened self-awareness and personal growth.
- Positive Intention Integration: Emphasizing a positive and calm mindset to enhance energy work and avoid adverse effects associated with negative emotions.
- Accessible Knowledge: Unlike many traditional systems, Hoshin Tao Chi Kung openly teaches advanced energy manipulation techniques from the outset, empowering practitioners from the beginning of their journey.
