Tony Wilson – 4 th Dan Black Belt, has been involved in Martial Arts for over 20 years and running classes in Whitianga, for over 10 years.
Tony has started Oushiza-Ryu to help students develop the skills necessary to defend themselves, and loved ones, should the need ever arise. Techniques are taught that are effective in everyday situations compared to many martial arts that train for competitions where rules are introduced on what techniques are allowable.
Martial arts help develop confidence in oneself by showing that you can push through difficulties. We are all faced with these throughout life…
It aims to install confidence and belief in oneself, respect for oneself and others based on a philosophy of respect earned not demanded.
We all know how damaging bullying can be so to enable kids to be able to deal with this and the confidence to stand up for themselves is worth it alone.
Oushiza-Ryu fosters a nurturing environment to help students develop in all aspects of the art.
The students and instructors form a family, supporting each other within and outside the class.
