Forge Your Steel Body

Scythe School is built on Boxing and Judo as well as being inspired by Miyamoto Musashis niten ichi ryu as well as the stance training from varios forms of martial arts that have roots in yoga. The goal of scythe school is promote something fun and unique but also effective that serves as a form of creative training and building amazing coordnation and movement.

The Awkward Secret

The scythe is awkward on purpose. It is long, off-center, and unforgiving. It exposes errors in stance, breath, and timing instantly. That’s why we use it — if you can control awkwardness, every other weapon becomes easier to manage. Keep in mind that wielding a scythe is an exacting art and it requires strenous on going effort. The fact that its not practical is what makes it so formidable. Once you wield it, you will experience better movement in other forms of martial arts that are practical because you are learning an art that is very difficult to learn. Think of it as wearing training vest.

Boxing builds your timing, entry rhythm, and exit control. Judo builds your base, balance, and power under contact. Yoga restores alignment and breath. Niten Ichi Ryu gives you the ability to experience contrast in handling two swords of different size and length.

We don’t chase perfection. We pursue honesty. The scythe teaches you to move when the leverage is wrong, to strike when the angles are off, and to recover before fatigue becomes collapse. When awkward becomes natural, you’ve built something real.

“Master the awkward and the simple becomes obvious.”
