About Us

 Seishin Budokan martial arts school was founded in 2009 in Broken Arrow, OK by Scott Doerr. Sensei Doerr has over 30 years of martial arts experience. Starting in 1987 with Keichu Do (Sensei - Jeff Lane) and migrating through Tae Kwon Do (Sensei - Emilio Ybarro), Tang Soo Do (Master - J.D. Lawler), Jeet Kune Do (Sifu - Dwight Woods), and Aikido over the spread of years eventually starting Seishin Budokan upon being promoted to 1st Degree Black (Shodan) by Kaiso – Gary Ducote (8th Dan). I additionally received an Honorary promotion to Shodan by Kaiso – Daryl Chase (8th Dan) in the Art of Aikijujitsu.

 We teach the Art of Shisei Ryu Aikibudo (One’s True Heart Method) founded by Kaiso Gary Ducote. Shisei Ryu Aikibudo in short was birthed from the Keichu Do style of self-defense style of martial arts founded by Karl Marx Sr. (not the same as the German author of the “Communist Manifesto”). Our lineage has a traceable pedigree grounded in traditional orthodox martial arts stemming from Japanese patriarchs Gichin Funakoshi – Karate-Do, Jigoro Kano – Judo, Morihei Ueshiba – Aikido, Kenji Tomiki – Judo/Aikido. These historic personalities pioneered most modern expressions of martial arts studied and practiced internationally in one facet or another.

 In our training place (dojo), we practice all of these disciplines of martial arts in a way that hardwires the practitioner to intuitively grasp the different aspects of each style making them effective at identifying threats on different levels and instilling confidence as they grow and mature into a respectable budoka. Let it likewise be noted that our expression of martial arts in no way resembles or is associated with the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) association.

Does Size Matter? 

"I am too small.", "They are too big..." or "they are bigger than I.", "I am a weakling." or "I am a girl." Anyone can enlist a plurality of reasonings to offset their constitutional need to defend themselves. People regardless of age, size, sex, or body type have a right to preserve their existence in the face of terminal danger. Being bullied is never fun and the end result is never one of confident satisfaction.  The reality is predators exist and those who are not armed to resist defensively are their potential prey.  The first step is taking the initiative to prepare yourself.  Come and check out our free classes introducing you to our approach to martial arts. To quote the G.I. Joe cartoon, "Knowing is half the battle."
