"There is a time to train and a time to apply. Now is the time to apply everything that you have learned". - Hanshi Platt, Head of Classical Martial Arts Canada

"A warrior chooses pacifism, while others are suppressed by it"

Spirituality first, then manifest the practical. This is a war for the consciousness of humanity, therefore we must act mindfully, decisively and be conscious of our impact on the world around us.

Dan Oke is the head instructor of the CMAC - Fudoshin/Keirin Dojo and has been a student of the Classical Martial Arts Centre (CMAC) since 2008, training in the Goju (Hard and Soft) style of Karate, Tai Chi Chuan (Grand Ultimate Fist) and Kobudo (Weapons/Ancient Martial Arts).

With the additional guidance of Hanshi Platt, Dan has taken the skills he learned and applied them to his martial arts program, which welcomes anyone to experience the benefits of a CMAC program.
