Our purpose:

CHANGE LIVES. MAKE THE WORLD SAFER.

A bold statement for sure, but one that we live by. We believe that great things have small beginnings, and it starts with the individual. To achieve our purpose, we place a strong emphasis on building character and values, in addition to skill and physical health.

 

(Our traditional martial arts curriculum even includes a deeper exploration into classical virtues and related topics such as temperance, courage, and fear.)

BRINGING COMMUNITIES TOGETHER

Giving back to the community is one of the pillars of our school and we are the proud founders of the Martial Arts Charity Alliance (MACA). Using MACA, we unite martial artists of different backgrounds under one banner to raise funds for numerous causes (e.g. cancer awareness, impoverished countries).

Our school also holds demos at large events such as the Houston Japan Festival and the Museum of Natural Science Samurai exhibit.

We often host and attend seminars that feature notable teachers from the Bujinkan and other arts. Students are encouraged to learn and gain new experiences at every opportunity.

ROOTED IN TRADITION

The School of Smiling Tiger is fully dedicated to the proper study of Ninpo Budo Taijutsu. This encompasses armed and unarmed techniques contained in the 9 Schools (Ryuha) of the Bujinkan organization. Students of our traditional curriculum are also taught formal Japanese etiquette and language as it pertains to the martial arts. We maintain a strong connection with the Bujinkan headquarters in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
