As karate was brought to mainstream Japan it did a few things. One of them was to raise the health span of the people. A health span of a nation when the length of time in their lives that they are actually healthy for. The other was it made that nation more fierce and able to defend themselves to the point that other nations respected them. When i implemented mandatory martial arts training at I.S.R these were only the beginning of my thinking. As indigenous peoples we have been plagued with colonial violence including the MMIP crisis. Combat training is a crucial aspect of self-determination that we refuse to overlook at I.S.R that’s why we have made it mandatory and non-negotiable. This has been invisible to people unwilling to train or who are looking for their oppressors to “save” them or trying to seek the fulfillment of savior complex by engaging in symbolic acts. We skipped the symbolism and went straight to the contradiction by supplying the material need for high quality martial arts training. In many indigenous communities our ancient martial styles have been eradicated by colonialism with a few exceptions. Quality martial arts lessons are often just not available or affordable. Often when they are available there is one gym in town and that’s what you get. I.S.R offers some of the best high impact linear karate in the world. The shining pine forest style from the royal bodyguards of Shuri castle in Okinawa. The home of the most elite unarmed security force in the world. This was brought to the west coast Turtle Island by Hiditaka Nishiyama. Nishiyama was supposed to ride a torpedo into a battleship in the kamikaze corps but in WW2 but the war ended before his number was called. Our head instructor is 3 sensei removed from Nishiyama and has trained with Nishiyama in person. We combined this with not one but two styles of Jiujitsu, Japanese and Brazilian. Our head instructor has over 20 years teaching experience and has taught everyone from the old, young, disabled and students who only had one eye. We seek that indigenous be respected by making that a physical reality. We seek to make respect for I.S.R a Pan Indigenous Government a physical reality by fostering an indomitable warrior spirit that nobody can contend with. We intend to get respect and dignity even if we have to beat it out of some people. Warriors in I.S.R are able to kill with one hand and heal with the other. In keeping with our lightning medicine our security forces are taught extensive skills including multiple life saving techniques in addition to their combat training. Next we must discuss a point of unity for oppressed peoples and that is health. Under capitalism it is almost certain that the health care system will not fully meet the needs of poor and oppressed peoples. This becomes a secondary reason why
“Combat training is an aspect of self-determination“

Heart disease, and diabetes that are causing amputations, these are just a few of the diseases that can be dissuaded by a physical exercise program. There are also mental benefits, strength of body builds strength of mind, strength of mind builds strength of body. Exercising releases healthy chemicals in your brain that help fight pain and depression. A complete self-defense manual written from scratch by the Invisible Warrior is available from I.S.R. We have higher standards at I.S.R and it’s rubbing off on other groups which is what we intended. If i ever said something that upset you that caused you to do better in your life, good. Thats how i meant it. It’s a political strategy called agitation. You’re welcome! Super pack. Sovereignty under indigenous rule. Red Power!
