 Welocme to the Images and Archives collections

 

 

As a nation of Spiritual Warriors it is evident that history always has and will repeat itself.

To destroy a nation dilute its culture & language It's the culture and language that unites a nation
Our Language, Treasures, Manuscripts, Historical artefacts, Documentations and Findings have always been the focus of DESTRUCTION, DISTORTION & DISARRAY

 

In deed this is a very broad strategy. Within it, the Images and Archives program must have specific collecting focuses which will allow not just present day practitioners, instructors, members, researchers and historians an insight to this majestic fighting system, culture and religion but a window to the past for generations of the future.
