About DoNoKai Martial Arts Temple

Do-No-Kai Temple, located in the hills overlooking Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico, is about 30 minutes south of the Guadalajara International Airport. This martial arts school was built in 1979 by three martial artists, Lonny Riddle, Cindy Paul and James Deaver, with the aim to create a place to teach and practice traditional martial arts.

MARTIAL ARTS SYSTEMS
TAUGHT AT DO-NO-KAI:

Ju-Jitsu might be considered "martial Judo," since Judo was created more as an olympic game competition than a martial art. These days, Ju-Jitsu consistently proves its timeless value in self-defense in every Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Tai-Chi Chuan, also known as moving yoga, is presently the most widely practiced form of exercise in the world. Its health benefits are legion, as are its martial applications.

Kobu-Jitsu (weapons art) - Do-No-Kai teaches at least one complete form for each of the following weapons: Kaibo, Jo, Bo, Tonfa, Nunchatku, Kama, Sai, Naginata and Japanese sword forms

Wing Chun Kung Fu, an extremely effective close-in style of Chinese boxing. This system of Kung Fu is just as famous for its ability to be quickly learned as it is for its deadliness.

Pak-Qua Chuan, the sister system to Tai-Chi Chuan, could also be considered its martial complement. A fascinating study in the superimposition of metaphysics and the physical.

The Women's Self-Defense course taught at Do-No-Kai is a basic survival course in practical, easy-to-learn techniques any woman can use to defend herself.
