Few people have the time to devote exclusively to one martial art, with one master, in one place. The practice of Kishido is designed to enable people to practice the essential principles common to all martial traditions anywhere and at any time.

How can martial arts principles be communicated to busy people? How can extremely competent people who just don’t have the time to devote years to a single martial art achieve mastery? This was the dilemma faced by Peter Hobart’s teacher, a Japanese man he refers to only as “Master.” What the “Master” shared with his Western students was the essence of all traditions: Kishido - The Way of the English Knight.

By focusing on Right Action, the Power of One, or the principle of Sword and Brush, anyone can build their skill and insight as they practice their art, at work, or even while traveling. This distinguishes Kishido from other martial traditions, such as Aikido or Judo, because Kishido unites many influences in one art.
