Richard photographs a lot for Shoto Budo with a fascination for movement.
Richard has a passion for Shoto Budo and a fun, inclusive attitude to training, which can be seen in his clubs. He sees it as an opportunity to pool skills, share knowledge and develop ideas, thereby working towards a holistic study of Martial Arts within an intelligent and open-minded organisation.
Of Shoto Budo he says,
Shoto Budo is about kicking, punching, throwing, pacing, leading, parrying, wrestling, attacking, defending, meditating.
Shoto Budo is about teaching, sharing ideas and knowledge. developing and maintaining good health and well-being.
Shoto Budo is about developing your body and your spirit.
Shoto Budo is about discovering your strengths and challenging your fears.
Shoto Budo is about discipline and control and other times it is more creative and chaotic.
Shoto Budo is about the self and also about others.
Shoto Budo is about a quick workout and other times it is a lifelong training.
Always Shoto Budo is about the mind, body and spirit.
Come and try for yourself.
