Guinn Martial Arts is an international organization focused on finding the best ways to serve each student. We teach self defense through the arts of Applied Shotokan Karate and Aikijutsu. In both styles we use the same techniques, tactics, and strategies taught by traditional martial arts and combine them with the latest innovative concepts in physical fitness, teaching methodology, and the psychology of self defense. Through these programs we will work on improving each students confidence, fitness, and prepare them in the best manner possible to defend themselves in an increasingly hostile world.

Rory Miller at MCC-Blue River 2010
Sensei Eric Parsons and Blue River Community College in Independence, Missouri hosted Rory Miller, author of “Meditations on Violence” on March 20th 2010. There are many voices to listen to in the world of martial arts but very few can actually claim this kind of experience and back it up. Guinn Martial Arts supports the charity efforts of Sensei Eric Parsons, Blue River Community College, and YMAA publications. Guinn Martial Arts managed to get 8 people to this seminar and we all had a great time. Mr. Miller was a dynamic speaker and his wealth of experience and stories made the day go by very quickly. Mr. Miller also taught several drills and some material from an upcoming book. If you have an opportunity to attend any seminars with Mr. Miller I strongly recommend you go, it will be worth it. I am working on determining the local interest for having Mr. Miller here in Tulsa, if you have an opinion please call at 918-376-7672 , email me, or use the contact form from this website.

Aikijutsu – this program finds its roots in Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, Goshin Ryu Aikido, Tomiki Ryu Aikido, as well as Ueshiba Aikido. This style of martial arts teaches us how to defend ourselves by using the attackers energy against them.
Applied Karate – based on Shotokan Karate this style of self defense teaches striking, joint locks, throws, and much more. This is not sport Karate or mixed martial arts. It is a pragmatic martial art system developed over the course of centuries to be a complete form of self defense. This is Karate as “applied” to the real world.
