We all have the ability to defend ourselves.
You don’t need to be large, nor do you need
to be in great physical condition.

| Julia Forrester is a senior Brown Belt, student, and instructor in the art of Ryo-shindo at the Tao-Zen Martial Arts Academy in Poulsbo. She has taught martial arts to men and women of all ages for 6 years. The techniques Julia teaches are simple, natural, immediate, and effective for anyone seeking a realistic command of basic introductory self defense. They are practical and easy-to-understand, and use as little energy as possible. |
