Whole Body Wellness...
At The Martial Arts Center, we believe in whole body wellness. Our goal is to provide self-defense training, physical conditioning and a greater understanding of the body and how to assist it in running efficiently. The results are a healthier body, a calmer spirit and a more focused mind.
A Hands On Approach To Healing...
Okazaki Restorative Massage is seen as a preventative maintenance by reducing the chances of severe illness. According to Eastern perspective, the benefits of restorative massage are:
- Relax Muscles and Tendons
- Eliminate Toxins
- Relieve Pain By Moving Chi
- Speed Recovery of Injury
- Reduce Stress Symptoms
- Enhance Energy
- Stimulate Circulation
Okazaki Restorative Massage is a form of Japanese Seifukujitsu Restorative Therapy. Formulated by Professor Henry Okazaki in the early 20th Century, this form of massage is based on Eastern principles of Chinese medicine and healing. Professor Okazaki taught Jujitsu and Massage to his students, promoting the idea that the fighting spirit should be balanced by the healing spirit.
Massage at The Martial Arts Center...
At The Martial Arts Center we provide direction to our students on certain aspects of this healing art. In our daily classes, a student might endure a physically hard class, which is summed up with a light back rub or neck massage from a training partner.
There are also opportunities for our students to pursue certification in Okazaki Restorative Massage. This information is available upon request.
