Welcome!

The Intersection of Traditional Asian Martial Arts is an internet resource designed with two purposes in mind. The first is to offer free information and historical background regarding established systems of self defense developed in Japan, China, Okinawa, and the Philippines. The second is to guide the interested to experienced, qualified instructors in the Mid-Michigan area, particularly around East Lansing and Ann Arbor, Mi.

An excellent source of Traditional Japanese Martial Arts is the Japanese Martial Arts Center (JMAC), located in Ann Arbor. Headed by Nicklaus Suino Sensei, JMAC offers superb instruction in Kodokan Judo, Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido (also known as Japanese Swordsmanship), and Nihon Jujutsu.

An excellent source of Internal Chinese Martial Arts is located at the Hannah Community Center in East Lansing. The Nei Jia class, headed by Sifu Douglas Lawrence, is composed of Tai Chi Chuan, Ba Gua Chang, and Hsing-I Chuan.

Further information, such as class schedules, training locations, and private instruction appointments, can be found by visiting the provided links.
