Shoshin Ryu Martial Arts

Aaron is a one of a kind instructor. One of the few I have met who takes his own advice, puts his clients always first, and takes an individual and sincere interest in their success. He fast earns trust with his dedication, honesty, and passion for all he undertakes.I would recommend him any day. Go see him.

Shoshin Ryu Jujitsu martial arts is a highly effective and practical system that encompasses a wide range of techniques. Instructor Aaron Lawrence is knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate about imparting his expertise to students. The training sessions are intense yet rewarding, providing a well-rounded martial arts experience that promotes physical fitness, self-discipline, and real-world self-defense skills.

This Shoshin Ryu studio prioritizes family and community. Classes cater to all ages, providing expert instruction, discipline, respect, and teamwork.What sets this studio apart is its Sensei, Aaron. He is committed to empowerment. His commitment goes beyond the dojo walls, teaching women's self-defense, corporate sessions, and military and law enforcement support, all of which benefit the community.If you are looking for self-defense for personal growth and techniques, a dojo, and Sensei committed to friendships, family, and belonging, then this is not only your dojo; it is your home.

Thank you!

Great martial arts training and very supportive environment. Sensei Lawrence is a great instructor

HEART: Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Respect, Trust:Is what your child will learn when they work with Sensei Aaron besides learning to pay attention to details, self confidence and self defense , attributes i wish i had when I got bullied in school as a kid.Do you think these are some key characteristics for your kid to succeed in school, personal and professional life?Best instilled when they are young?The best part is your child becomes a member of an Elite family that cares and love each other - a place to feel like you belong.I trust my life and our kids life with Sensei Aaron. My amazing husband and I, have the privilege of knowing him for the last 20 + years . Amazing human being with a beautiful family, and a humungous heart to give♥️He’s an incredible father figure to kids who needs it, an amazing leader by example always looking to make that 2mm shift to be not good, not great but OUTSTANDING in your skills and make classes FUN for both kids and adults.I wish we lived nearby to get lessons from him even as adults.If you value family, this is the place for you🦋♥️🌎🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

SSR is a positive, dedicated group of practitioners - I came for the JJ skills and stayed because of the core values, positive support, and care that Lawrence Sensei and the other leaders have with the training. Learning to keep a peaceful spirit, learning not to harm yourself and others, constant learning, and intense training are emphasized every day. This is not a belt factory. Great for kids and adults. I recommend this path to everyone who asks.

Sensei Aaron Lawrence is a great person and an Awesome Martial Arts instructor. I had the pleasure to workout with him. He has an excellent program for both Adults and the Children's classes.

The short of it: a great class and amazing instructor. Very good vibes and camaraderie.The long of it: keep in mind everything you are about to read is written by someone who has two black belts in different arts and has been practicing martial arts continuously since 1987.After a lot of research I chose to join Shoushin Ryu under the guidance of Sensei Lawrence.Sensei Lawrence is a Sensei in every sense of the word. Master at what he teaches as well as a master at teaching. He has an incredible eye for spotting details and correcting them before they turn into bad habits.Here are my reason for joining.1. The art itself is a perfect combination of traditional martial arts and modern evolution of self defense. It encompasses both respect and discipline with martial efficacy.2. It has all martial components covered from stand up fighting, punch, kick, elbow, joint locks. To throws and sweeps and the ground work to follow up. Also Sensei Lawrence is an excellent weapons instructor in the Filipino fighting systems that are world renowned for use of the sticks, knives and even machete combat.3. The system is a self defense system and not a competition formula which makes for better street readiness. I.e confrontations in the real world and not in a ring.4. The system also incorporates meditation and compassion which to me being a mediation mentor and medical practitioner is essential.Also the group as a whole is really great all the senior students are engaging and willing to help out.Hope this review helps you make the decision to try it out.Blessings.

Never have I sweated or smiled more in my life!
