Martial Arts
The Maine East Martial Arts Club exists to promote healthy fitness for off-season athletes and recreational participants. No experience is necessary. Our emphasis is on flexibility, coordination, body mechanics, and a range of techniques drawn from various martial arts. Advanced members participate by offering a demonstration of skills that they have acquired from a home gym or sensei.
We focus on peaceful mindfulness, focusing on the Bushido ideas: justice, Bravery, Benevolence, Loyalty, etc. We also spend a few minutes in silent meditation at the close of practice to focus on non-violence and compassion.
Every year, the club does a group demonstration at the International Celebration, and other events can be planned to share our craft with family and friends.
