Dojo Name Kami Arashi
City Abbotsford
Style Primarily Daito Ryu based, with a large dose of the smoothness of Aikido and some of the crispness of an Okinawa karate style.
Chief Instructor

Sensei Iulian Badragan is a 3rd degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and a 1st degree black belt in Shotokan Karate. He also trained for some time in Aikido and Ninjutsu. Nowadays, his primary focus is on practical Self Defence.

He worked in the past as a University Physics Professor and currently he fights cancer as a Medical Physicist. His students are largely hospital colleagues from Abbotsford and Fraser Valley Cancer Centres.

Philosophy We value the traditional Martial Arts' moral virtues over superior fighting abilities. Rather than concentrating on mastering a wide variety of techniques, we use them as simple exercises to help understanding the basic principles behind them. In our practice we seek simplicity, elegance, flexibility and effectiveness. Our student model is by no means a fighting machine but rather a perfectly balanced human being.
