What is Zanshindo?

Zanshindo (The Zanshin Way) - Zanshin is defined as a calm, focused state of total awareness allowing complete attention to the moment: the focusing of the mind (without thought or emotion) on everything in and around you.

Zanshindo (aka McCullough Submission Fighting) is a modern mixed martial art combining the most realistic & effective training methods & techniques of several martial arts into a single comprehensive Hand-To-Hand Combat System. It is primarily composed of striking from Muay-Thai Kickboxing (evasive movements, punches, kicks, elbows, & knees), & grappling from Jiu Jitsu (submissions, takedowns, escapes, & chokes), as well as elements from Freestyle Wrestling, Aikido, Sambo, & others. Zanshindo is an excellent practice to help develop personal character, confidence, and calmness through rigorous training which will challenge each student individually, and systematically raise the limits of personal performance- both mentally and physically.

Our belief is that by practicing Zanshindo and developing the ability to remain calm and focused under the extreme duress of dealing with an individual who is violent and out of control, you will find yourself applying this same ability when faced with an out of control vehicle, relationship, or any life situation.
