What Does it Mean to be a Hoshin Ryu Member?

First of all, let's look at what Hoshin and the word ryu means. Hoshin is a conglomeration of skills, both martial and esoteric, which serve one general and basic purpose, to develop a more fully actualized human being. The word ryu in essence means family. Many Hoshin ryu members comment on the sense of family we have. A family which supports and shares their knowledge with each other.

There are many benefits to becoming a Hoshin ryu member. Some of these benefits include:

• Invitation to participate in our Hoshin ryu email chat list
• Access to Monthly video techniques to developing your Hoshin skills
• Access to Hoshin newsletters
• Discounts on selected Hoshin products
• More to come

The Hoshin Ryu patch symbolizes the Japanese GoDai which are the founding elements of the Hoshin belt system. The elements are: red - earth, orange - water, yellow - fire, green - wind and blue - void. The yin / yang symbol represents the balance between mind, body and spirit which is reflected throughout the Hoshin system.

Hoshin patchs are included in the new member package and available to existing members in the member's area.
