About US

The style taught is Shorinji Arashiryu, which was developed from the mix of Shorinjiryu Kenkokan, Nanzen Kai, Ninpo Taijutsu, and Shihan Arthur Mark’s real world experience working as a police officer and detective in the NYPD.

Arthur Mark began his Martial Arts training at the age of 10 in 1980 under the direct tutelage of then Shihan (Master Teacher) Tamon Kashimoto. Shihan Mark was also a member of the New York City Police Department from 1991-2012. He teaches Shorinji Arashiryu (Shaolin Tempest) which he created encompassing Shronjiryu Kenkokan, Nanzen Kai, Ninpo Taijutsu (Bujinkan) and his real-world Police experience. Shihan Mark has owned dojos in New Jersey and the Dominican Republic. He is currently teaching his style at Saint Augustine Karate Dojo.
