Hybrid-Budo is a modern traditional martial art.

Through decades of experience, the system utilizes a time tested and proven formula with a modern applied scientific approach. Using the traditional martial structure present in most systems, we streamline it to focus on the intent of building functionality; not simply preserving a particular discipline.

Hybrid-Budo was inspired by decades of martial training, teaching and invaluable real world experience.

Our foundation stems from:

Shotokan

Kenpo

FMA (Filipino Martial Arts)

Ju Jutsu

Kobudo

American Kickboxing

Analytical Combat

Through the traditional framework of:

Basics (kihon)

Kinesiology (kamae)

Forms (kata) 

Application (bunkai) 

Drills (kumite) 

Sparring (randori)

Each kata demonstrates multiple concepts that are explored by the student through drills and sparring. 

The kata are schematics that the student will learn and then apply through training as they develop. The principle is memorization through application; giving a greater understanding - not just replicating movements.

Functionally is built upon layers of foundation. Stress testing is in the form of drills and sparring. Drills and sparring provide pressure in a receptive environment; this allows the student to test techniques and discover what works for them.

The ultimate goal of flow drills is not direct application but sensitivity and the experience of having been in multiple situations before and how to mitigate and answer those attacks.

Our philosophy is to provide the student with practical and effective defensive options from the outset, and with consistent training, a constant layering effect of advanced skills.
