Shu Ha Ri Do Warrior Wisdom and Martial Arts Blog
Welcome to the Shu Ha Ri Do website. Although Shuhari is a Japanese word, Shu Ha Ri Do is influenced by Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Jeet Kune Do and other systems. My title is Sifu however, I could have just as easily been called Shihan. The word Shu Ha Ri describes the stages of learning all the way to mastery. It is sometimes referred to in other disciplines, as Go. Shuhari roughly translates to "to imitate, to create, to master". This site is all about martial arts techniques, inspiring quotes, safety, awareness, and uncommon knowledge regarding self mastery under the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by. In the video below you will get a deeper look into the creation and evolution of Shu ha Ri Do. If you are a subscriber or just a casual visitor guess what? You are a part of the evolution. The meaning of Shu Ha Ri can be summarized in three words, imitation, creation, perfection, watching, creating from what you watched, and perfecting what you created. This has been my walk as Sifu of Shu Ha Ri Do and pursuit of perfection in myself and Shu Ha Ri Do has never stopped, only evolved. With that being said, enjoy the video and please feel freel to share or subscribe.

GROUND DEFENSE. A USEFUL REVERSAL TO USE WHEN ON YOUR BACK IN A FIGHT.
Greetings everyone, I am starting a series of videos showing some of the “Best Street Defense” techniques in Shu Ha Ri Do. The video below is #1 showing the effectiveness of the “Spear Hand”. Keep in mind as you watch and practice my techniques that there is no “silver bullet” technique. View all techniques I show as tools for your toolbox that will help you provide appropriate “solution” for the appropriate “problem”. As you watch the video you will see the simplicity and usefulness of the technique immediately.

This is a technique featured in phase one level two of Shu Ha Ri Do. This is what I call “simultaneous block and strike”. To do the technique correctly you must be sure to move your head in addition to the slip block. The slip block is like guiding your opponents punch over your shoulder and returning a strike at the same time. Repetition is key to mastering this and any other technique. You must repeat, repeat, repeat, and repeat again.
This sweep is a very useful technique for reversing an opponent who is trying to mount you. Add this to your tool box.
As I have mentioned before, within Shu Ha Ri Do there are 7 phases. Blue the “Animalistic” phase is the 4th. In this video I present a newly promoted blue belt student with his belt and his first tie. In the “animalistic” phase students train in the characteristics, nature, and fight attributes of the Boa,Elephant, and Eagle.

AN EXPLANATION OF WHY I SAY “CODE’ OF THE FLEXING FIST, AND WHY I USE THE ATOM AS A SYMBOL
As I have mentioned before that Shu Ha Ri Do is a system that I created in 1998. Within the system there is an animalistic phase which is phase #4. Level #2 of phase #4 is the elephant phase. Just as with level #3 “the eagle/bird” students are encouraged to look at the useful qualities of an elephant as it relates to character and self defense.
The Elephant is an incredibly impressive and powerful animal. Much can be uncovered about it’s nature by observing it on a deeper level. If you are interested in hearing more about the unique concepts of Shu Ha Ri Do feel free to leave me a message in the comment section below!
