The Force Institute, Lakeland Chapter
The Force Institute, Lakeland Chapter takes the wonder of the Star Wars universe and mixes a blend of traditional martial arts based on hand-to-hand combat and Japanese sword techniques. Members practice a blend of physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines meant to challenge them and get them out of their comfort zone. This includes a mix of eight different martial arts like kenjutsu, kung fu, kendo, and tai chi, among others. Added to that are a solid component of yoga and zen to help them develop meditation and self-centering techniques.
