A Living Tradition of Self-Protection, Healing, and Growth
Hoshin Budo Ryu is a discipline that extends beyond martial arts—it is a path of self-protection, healing, meditation, and personal growth. Rooted in both traditional and modern methodologies, Hoshin Budo equips practitioners with practical strategies for everyday challenges, combat scenarios, and self-mastery.
Founded by Dr. Glenn J. Morris—a martial artist, psychologist, and author—Hoshinjutsu bridges the gap between physical combat, internal energy cultivation, and mental resilience. After Dr. Morris' passing, the system was entrusted to Rob Williams, Soke, who continues to refine and expand Hoshin Budo, ensuring its evolution aligns with its core principles.
At the heart of Hoshin Budo is the philosophy of adaptation and self-discovery. Unlike rigid martial arts styles that rely solely on repetitive techniques, Hoshin encourages practitioners to develop their own unique expression of movement and response.
Developing the ability to read situations, control intent, and apply tactics both in and out of combat.
Encouraging self-awareness, discipline, and growth through guided training and introspection.
Emphasizing real-time problem-solving over static drills and rigid forms.
Hoshin Budo is a living tradition, constantly tested and refined by its practitioners. One of the defining features of the system is its willingness to incorporate effective techniques from other disciplines, such as Russian Systema, Pencak Silat, and Western psychological strategies. This ensures that Hoshin remains relevant, effective, and deeply practical.
