Our Mission

is to provide students tools to self-management through a holistic martial arts education that refines oneself and fosters harmony with the world

We are committed to

• Educate students about being the best me instrument they can be, in the we orchestra of the world
• Reshape the model of teaching children martial arts
• Refine ourselves through martial arts—create the best version of ourselves
• Interface and collaborate with other leading organizations from around the world
• Establish a relationship to the study of martial arts through art
• Usher in a program that models skills and higher abilities for children to manage the shades of fighting and suffering in schools around the world

2. Our Vision

<aside> 💡 We come to the martial arts learning how to fight others for ourselves.

We evolve through the martial arts learning how to fight ourselves for others

Essentially, being a ME INSTRUMENT IN THE WE ORCHESTRA.

a. We want students and graduates to…

Explore and build a relationship with their choices, attention, and intention—essentially themselves. They will become more refined, mindful, and attuned persons, better suited to managing their behaviour and instincts in such a way as to share and relate to each other in a shared context, regardless of creed, religion, culture, economic status, or position.

The goal is not a black belt (unless the student wishes to achieve so), but to graduate with each grade as a summit in its own right, one of many peaks that can be achieved in the wide range of martial arts study. Each summit has its own challenges, perspectives, and benefits. Learning is to be found in the challenge of each peak without the need to summit them all.

Black belt graduates have now acquired the skills to sail their own vessels toward the horizon, and can choose to sail with the Dapo armada, with another, in collaboration, or on their own. In the end we all sail toward the same horizon. The path widens and narrows, deepens and shallows, to accommodate all vessels on the way.
