Based on a lifetime of training, Professor Harold "Harry" Glackin developed a system of martial arts he referred to simply as GOSHINDO, meaning "the way of self-defense."
Harry Glackin Sensei
Under the Academy of Martial Arts, we continue to preserve and pass forward Sensei's legacy of dedication to the martial arts today.
​
Goshindo students here at the Academy will be instructed primarily in Karate, based on Shotokan kata forms and including Goju-ryu techniques.
​
In honor of Sensei's passion for Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, emphasis on the "gentle" arts are necessarily included in helping to form our understanding of self-defense.
As such, we adhere to the tradition of Karate being for defense only, to protect ourselves and others when needed.
​
It is our belief that Goshindo, or "the way of self-defense," therefore, occurs in the many choices we make prior to any conflict that may arise.
After all, an empty hand, as in Kara-Te, is best used when reaching out to someone else in need.  If our training can lead to a safer, more respectful society, then we have succeeded in our mission.
