Practical Martial Arts Training

Sensei Mick believes that all martial arts should (and do) work in real-life situations.  An individual artist has to be able to apply their skills as needed.  Classes at LMA focus on crafting the attributes developed in the Lifetsyle Fitness training and the martial principles, tactics and techniques of the Personal Protection training into these personalise applications.  Such applications can come from any martial background which aligns with the all-style LMA Philosophy.  Remember, by making it your own it is always yours to use.

Sensei Mick offers training in his core art for those who want to learn and earn grades (belts).  His core art is an Okinawan Karate System called Seito Matsumura Shorin-Ryu (Seito or SMR for short). Like most karate systems, this system centers on learning kata (traditional patterns/routines) and bunkai (applying these forms).

Seito differs from other systems in that the students are challenged to apply their understanding of their kata to real-life scenarios.  Being able to use the skills gained from their kata, students are learning the karate system while mastering practical martial arts.
