This is Missing Link Martial Arts:
-
We merge realism and tradition. A concept of learning and teaching that addresses the Missing Links between traditional martial arts and modern application.
-
Japanese Karate as the foundation, connecting it to its Chinese roots, making it more versatile and comprehensive. We offer the fusion of internal and external martial arts.
-
Missing Link is an international community of curious, open minded Karateka who practice ShoShin – the beginner’s mind.
-
The community doesn’t waste much time on politics, but focuses on learning and teaching instead.
-
The Missing Link Online Dojo offers regular classes and a growing database of knowledge.
-
The community offers offline events, seminars, gradings and support.
The complete concept as a
book, including Curriculum
