Classes are offered in a diversity of outdoor settings and conditions in Maine, providing for opportunities to apply adaptive skills in different environments. Immersion in Water, Earth, Sky, Wind, Light, Temperature and Celestial influences offer a depth of practice far different than what is found in the traditional indoor Dojo. Students should dress appropriately for anticipated weather conditions. Comfortable, durable clothing is recommended.
The Dojo experience yields to:
Warm ups that call on muscular strength, conditioning, and cardio-endurance training;
technical practice with block, kick and punch applications, in singularity or in combination;
partner work addressing various practical defensive styles; and honoring of the Earth and Spirit, meditation, breathwork, and chanting.

Of all the elements, the Sage should take water as his preceptor.
Water is yielding but all-conquering. Water extinguishes Fire,
Or finding itself likely to be defeated, escapes as steam and
reforms.
Water washes away Soft Earth, or, when confronted by rocks, seeks
a way round.
Water corrodes Iron till it crumbles to dust; it saturates the
atmosphere
So that Wind dies. Water gives way to obstacles with deceptive
humility.
For no power can prevent it following its destined course to the
sea.
Water conquers by yielding; it never attacks but always wins the
last battle.
The Sage who makes himself as Water is distinguished for her
humility.
He embraces passivity, acts from nonaction and conquers the world.
-Tao Cheng
11th Century A.D.
