We have been offering martial arts instruction and discipline in Lawton, Oklahoma since 2005. Anshin Arashi means “calm center of the storm”, and it is a culmination of techniques from Judo, Jujutsu, Aiki-Jujutsu, and Aikido. The Anshin Arashi system is built upon almost 50 years of martial arts training and teaching by the founder, Soke Mike Love, a former marine and local family physician. Mike Love began studying and developing a passion for martial arts as a young child, and he has achieved many impressive rankings in various martial arts disciplines. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to improve your physical fitness and develop mentally and spiritually. Like being in the center of a storm, the discipline you develop with us will allow you to calmly and confidently approach any opponent while using a variety of martial arts techniques successfully.
