Shoshin Ryu is a system of martial arts that promotes self improvement through self defense. Students learn a practical skill-set that can help them defend themselves in any situation, and gain confidence, self awareness and improved character and discipline through their training. We offer classes for children and adults and are currently welcoming new students.

"I’ve been a student in the adult class for about two years and I highly recommend the class to anyone with an interest in martial arts, self-defense, or anyone looking to try a new way to workout. The class is welcoming to adults of all ages, sizes, and genders. Sensei Lauziere does an excellent job teaching – I feel challenged, engaged, and energized by each class. I have increased my martial abilities, my general fitness, and I’ve learned a lot about seeing the world through a self-defense perspective. Not to mention that I have so much fun!" -Jennifer Sharrow
"Jared is incredible. Not only is he a kind and patient teacher, but he's enthusiastic and has a great spirit. I've attended one of his classes at the rec center and watched as he guided beginners and more experienced students side by side, old and young. As a girl with almost zero martial arts experience, Jared made me feel comfortable and in a safe space. I couldn't say enough good things about him!" -Monika Normand
"Sensei Lauziere runs a top-notch martial arts program for anyone wishing to excel in martial arts, physical fitness and self-improvement. His positive energy and experience can guide anyone down their martial path to excellence." -Michael Scisco
