The Dojo

I would like to thank all who have come to the website for Nahashu Ryu Karate-do: Roninkan Dojo.  I have often been asked why I chose the name "Ronin-kan" for the name of my school. 

                        Ronin: Masterless Warrior
                        Kan:
House/School

                        Roninkan: House of the Masterless Warrior

When I chose this name, it was not to turn my back on those above me, or before me.  It was not to pull away from rank and structure.  I chose this name partly because I began teaching out of my own home, but more because of my personal outlook on not just martial arts, but all forms of learning.

What is knowledge: what is taught, or what is learned?

I cannot teach you my martial arts.  I can only demonstrated them, in tedious detail, to you.  It is your job to learn the lessons.  It is my job, as instructor to make those lessons easier for you to learn, but in the end no one can make you learn anything but yourself.  No one forces you to train, at home or in a dojo, but yourself.  We have no masters, aside from the one inside each of us, the little voice that tells us to push on.  We are, thus, all Ronin; warriors without masters, seeking to better our selves.

Here, we come together to share and grow, in the house of the Ronin, where the Warrior lives!
