Shoto-Chi Martial Arts

Wow! Shoto-Chi (my martial art for those that don’t know!) celebrates its 28th anniversary this month. Looking back over the years I am so proud of how the art has and continues to evolve. Although I haven’t taught too many people this art while in PEI, I spend more time teaching seminars these days. I love seeing other martial artists setting aside ego to learn something outside of their own system. A huge thank you goes out to all the students over the years. I can only hope that the art made a positive impact in your lives as you did in mine and that of the art. Founder Robert Norton

If you live in Halifax and are looking for a great place to train with a highly experienced and professional instructor, then I do recommend you check out East Coast Combat Hapkido.

May Stephen Hawking R.I.P. Such a great mind. This quote fitted Shoto-Chi perfectly.

Absolutely. Teaching our children respect is every parents responsible.

A new set of students expected this evening for BOB and I to entertain. Time to explain what Shoto-Chi is and find out how I can tailor it to them.

If you live in PEI and are interested in learning a martial art that focuses on reality and personal growth versus fancy movements and belts etc then Shoto-Chi could be for you. I am looking for a small yet committed group of people that want to learn this art form and develop skills in many areas of conflict management. This art is not built around sport or MMA mentality. It focuses on managing conflict in so many more areas than just physical engagement. We shall train each week on Monday or Tuesday evenings and every session will focuses on you and your development. So contact me if you are interested. I will be teaching in the Cornwall area. For those that have taken a basic self-protection course through Norton Arts and would like to further develop their skills, this could be perfect for you! #martialartspei #pei #selfdefencepei

A short animated film. The Tai Chi Master learns a great lesson from an unlikely source. Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasu...res. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

Teacher reveals odd tactic to prevent bullying - and it leaves all her students in tears.

Shoto-Chi celebrates its 27th anniversary this month. In fact yesterday (22nd May) was exactly 27 years to the day of the opening class at the Haverhill Town Hall. I still remember that original class of 6 and have so many fond memories across the years. Thank you to every student that chose to learn my art wherever I have had the fortune of teaching it.

I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to those that have and continue to share information pertaining to the upcoming Self-Protection Empowerment courses for Teen Girls in #PEI. I am extremely passionate about providing others with the knowledge and skills to keep them safe in life and look forward to teaching these courses and hopefully more.
