Sport at AUR: Martial Arts

AUR Martial Arts Training with David Kaplan

Let strengthening our mind and body be the chief aim.” (martial arts proverb)

David Kaplan has over thirty years’ martial arts training under his belt including intense training with World Oyama founder Shigeru Oyama and USA Shaolin Temple founder Shaolin monk Shi Yan Ming. In David’s all-level classes students learn stretching, meditation, stances, kicks, jumps, combination movements and forms.

The strengthening and meditative training keeps one in good health and stimulates the movement of ‘chi’ (life force). No prior martial arts training is necessary.

If you are interested in attending martial arts at AUR, please see the Student Life Office for further details.
