Yama-Matsu Dojo is a school of Mastubayashi Shorin Ryu Karate and Rinzai Zen. Yama-Matsu Dojo was founded
by Mejin Ken Ruiz and is directed by Renshi Scott Ashley, former World Kickboxing Champion. Our practice combines Karate as
a fighting art and Zen as an art of self-study. This type of training was the tradition of the Samurai of Okinawa.
Study of fighting arts without the study of self will poison the mind. The balance of self-study and martial training will
develop a martial artist to the fullest extent. This typify's the precepts of the Okinawan people who developed this fabulous
art. These are the principals that we hold true.
