 The Flowing Way of the
Integrated Dragon
The act of combining martial
skills has existed since the beginning of man itself. Combative
strategies along with methods of execution were put to use as
man found the need to protect him or herself, from either man or
nature. It has always been the way to adapt beneficial martial
knowledge and blend it with previous training to make a more
complete combative methodology. Although, martial orientated
knowledge has been since man's beginning, the greatest leaps of
its progression where due to India's contribution to China, and
from there spreading to many neighboring countries. Among the
countries affected by Chinese influence where Okinawa, Japan,
Korea, the Philippines as well as others. This is not to say
that some sort of combative practice was not already indigenous
to those regions, but that a major wave of influence would help
progress and revitalize martial ways. The evidence just proves
that to accept and utilize any technique or theory that is of
beneficial use has always been the more appropriate attitude of
successful martial ways.
 The unique system utilized here at the UMAC incorporates a
variety of technical approaches and philosophies in order to
achieve a more comprehensive approach to fully understand the
martial arts. The roots of the Nagare-Do Sogo Ryu are comprised
of two main components, Kempo and Karate. These two firmly
incorporated styles are referred to as personal growth arts, or
as the Japanese have termed them - "Dos" - meaning a way or path
to enlightenment. Essentially the "Do" arts are an aid to expose
and guide the participants to live their life in a secure humble
and virtuous manner. Unification of the body and mind is the
primary goal as well as building and strengthening the spirit.
While this system is comprised of many martial arts styles and
their coinciding theories, it has taken on a more scientific
approach to all aspects of self-protection and self-growth.
Practical self-defense is the dominate characteristic of the
system and it provides its practitioners with the skills
necessary to not only defend themselves but to control the
entire outcome of any situation. This is achieved solely by
dedicating oneself to learn and absorb the knowledge of free
thought and mastering the economical movements of the human
anatomy.
