I first met Sensei Aaron in 2015, at his school in Wilmington NC. I was in the area for a family vacation, and he was kind enough to let me drop in on a saturday morning Filipino Martial Arts class when I had some downtime. I found Sensei Aaron to be an excellent teacher, and an even better man.. He is a strong man of principled ethics, and he embodies the courage and skill needed in these arts, both as a practicioner and instructor.. what impressed me most was how he relates to his students, and how they relate to him. There is a strong family bond there, and I really apprecated how all of his students welcomed me as he did.. You can judge an instructor by the quality and heart of the students he produces, and his people are of the highest caliber. In subsequent years, I made it back down to his Wilmington School, when he would host Tuhon Ray Dianaldo, through his affiliation with Tuhon Ray's FCS KALI organization..Every visit was consistent in terms of quality instruction, and maximum fun and brotherhood. I have been practicing and teaching Filipino martial arts since the mid 90's, and I am proud to call Sensei Aaron a brother, AND a friend. If you are looking for quality instructoship for you or your kids, Sensei Aaron is the man.

This Shoshin Ryu studio prioritizes family and community. Classes cater to all ages, providing expert instruction, discipline, respect, and teamwork. What sets this studio apart is its Sensei, Aaron. He is committed to empowerment. His commitment goes beyond the dojo walls, teaching women's self-defense, corporate sessions, and military and law enforcement support, all of which benefit the community. If you are looking for self-defense for personal growth and techniques, a dojo, and Sensei committed to friendships, family, and belonging, then this is not only your dojo; it is your home.

Aaron is a one of a kind instructor. One of the few I have met who takes his own advice, puts his clients always first, and takes an individual and sincere interest in their success. He fast earns trust with his dedication, honesty, and passion for all he undertakes. I would recommend him any day. Go see him.

SSR is a positive, dedicated group of practitioners - I came for the JJ skills and stayed because of the core values, positive support, and care that Lawrence Sensei and the other leaders have with the training. Learning to keep a peaceful spirit, learning not to harm yourself and others, constant learning, and intense training are emphasized every day. This is not a belt factory. Great for kids and adults. I recommend this path to everyone who asks.

HEART: Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Respect, Trust: Is what your child will learn when they work with Sensei Aaron besides learning to pay attention to details, self confidence and self defense , attributes i wish i had when I got bullied in school as a kid. Do you think these are some key characteristics for your kid to succeed in school, personal and professional life? Best instilled when they are young? The best part is your child becomes a member of an Elite family that cares and love each other - a place to feel like you belong. I trust my life and our kids life with Sensei Aaron. My amazing husband and I, have the privilege of knowing him for the last 20 + years . Amazing human being with a beautiful family, and a humungous heart to give♥️ He’s an incredible father figure to kids who needs it, an amazing leader by example always looking to make that 2mm shift to be not good, not great but OUTSTANDING in your skills and make classes FUN for both kids and adults. I wish we lived nearby to get lessons from him even as adults. If you value family, this is the place for you🦋♥️🌎🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The short of it: a great class and amazing instructor. Very good vibes and camaraderie. The long of it: keep in mind everything you are about to read is written by someone who has two black belts in different arts and has been practicing martial arts continuously since 1987. After a lot of research I chose to join Shoushin Ryu under the guidance of Sensei Lawrence. Sensei Lawrence is a Sensei in every sense of the word. Master at what he teaches as well as a master at teaching. He has an incredible eye for spotting details and correcting them before they turn into bad habits. Here are my reason for joining. 1. The art itself is a perfect combination of traditional martial arts and modern evolution of self defense. It encompasses both respect and discipline with martial efficacy. 2. It has all martial components covered from stand up fighting, punch, kick, elbow, joint locks. To throws and sweeps and the ground work to follow up. Also Sensei Lawrence is an excellent weapons instructor in the Filipino fighting systems that are world renowned for use of the sticks, knives and even machete combat. 3. The system is a self defense system and not a competition formula which makes for better street readiness. I.e confrontations in the real world and not in a ring. 4. The system also incorporates meditation and compassion which to me being a mediation mentor and medical practitioner is essential. Also the group as a whole is really great all the senior students are engaging and willing to help out. Hope this review helps you make the decision to try it out. Blessings.

I have known Aaron Lawrence as a martial arts practitioner and instructor for ten years or more. He is well qualified, experienced and extremely accomplished in all aspects of Shoshin Ryu. I have no reservations on recommending him, and his dojo, to anyone interested in martial arts. Regardless of age or athletic ability Shoshin Ryu has many positive attributes that will improve your life in quite surprising ways. Aaron is well positioned to set you on that journey and guide you along the way.

Excellent self defense and mindset teacher, Aaron made an intimidating subject much less so and my friend and I definitely felt more empowered to fight back if needed after having taken just one class.

Shoshin Ryu has everything you need for self defense: striking - with all parts of the body, stances, footwork, blocks, throws, sweeps, joint locks/arm bars, chokes, escapes, ground fighting, kata, and more; Shoshin Ryu exemplifies the true and traditional meaning of mixed martial arts. Personal, mental, physical development, growth, and fitness are also part of the equation with Shoshin Ryu. Sensei Lawrence is an expert, talented practitioner and teacher of the art.

I started training with Sensei Lawrence in 2011 in Wilmington, NC and trained under him until 2019 when he moved to Eugene. Since then, I've had the pleasure of training with him at multiple Shoshin Ryu & FCS conferences around the country. He is a well-respected leader in the martial arts community, and I cannot say enough about the breadth and depth of Sensei Lawrence's martial ability. The Shoshin Ryu Martial Arts system is extremely well thought out, and incorporates a wide variety of martial skills. You will learn joint manipulation, ground fighting, throws, weapons, forms, strategy, personal empowerment, and character development. Through these classes, you will improve your physical fitness, to include cardiovascular conditioning, core strength, flexibility, learning to fall safely, and balance. Sensei Lawrence is an excellent instructor who is adept at tailoring his instruction style to the needs/abilities of his students. He is well-versed in instructing children, beginners of all ages, and advanced practioners. He prioritizes skills with realistic martial application, meaning classes are self-defense heavy and meant to be useful. If you are looking to learn to defend yourself, increase your fitness, join a supportive community, and become a more well-rounded human being, Shoshin Ryu is the martial art for you, and Sensei Lawrence will absolutely help you attain your goals!
