In 1986, Dr. Haralson and Dr. Tottingham founded the Gospel Martial Arts Union and used the generalized ranking system established in Dr. Haralson's schools as the foundation for GMAU ranking. After consultation with several Christian martial artists, the Seigi Bushido Ryu was formally established in 1993 to embody the philosophy and teachings of Dr. Haralson. Objectives Seigi Bushido Ryu is not a system for Christian Martial Artists, it is a Christian Martial Arts System. It's expectations are thorough and strenuous. The student is inculcated with Biblical Philosophy.
Character is paramount.
Excellence and personal discipline are the standard. Readiness for all of life with a Theistic philosophy pervades all aspects of teaching and practice. Thus, Seigi Bushido Ryu looks at today with eternity in view. The progression of bringing glory to God begins with the salvation of an individual soul. That individual is then brought into the body of a local church.
