Specialties
A Studio for Lineage Based Movements: Martial Arts, Dance, Tracking, Survival, Ceremony, Healing, and Culture. The Goal of The Studio non-profit is to maintain Community Based Arts with specific Lineages. We aim to create a community that becomes its own keeper of these Lineages through their study and practices. We love teaching children and adults, people of all ages and backgrounds, people of all skill levels. We hope everyone can feel comfortable and confident here, and become part of the community. We host Guest Instructors from all over the world who have reached a masterful level in their art, to come teach seminars and special events for the ongoing education of our community. These Guests never fail to inspire us and push us further into new grounds of thought, movement and creativity.
