Founded by Master Sensei, the academy offers a range of martial arts disciplines, including Takagi Yshin-ry, which is deeply rooted in the history and traditions of Japanese martial arts.
At CMARA, students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Takagi Yshin-ry through seminars, densho, and makimono. The densho, or scrolls, contain valuable teachings and techniques passed down through generations, providing insight into the art's depth and complexity. Students can also explore the Shiron, a modern history of the tradition, and learn about the levels of transmission and mindset required for practice.
