A Little Bit Of History...
Ronin Martial Arts New Zealand
Kancho Chris W.B. Nicholson and Kancho Dwane T. Morgan founded Ronin Martial Arts International, in 1997, at the same time as Budo Bujutsu Ryu. The club was more known by the public as Ronin Martial Arts due to the branding and promotions that were done at the time. Budo Bujutsu Ryu was the School Name that the system of Martial Arts would be taught under.
Ronin Martial Arts International was the Organisation that would recognise Martial Artists, Martial Art Schools, Grades & Titles, and would also allow an environment free of politics in order to share techniques, ideas, concepts and principles. Since RMAI was founded it has helped and overseen the running of Seminars, Gradings and many other Martial Arts Clubs throughout New Zealand, Australia, Samoa and South Africa.
A Name Alteration...
In 2013 the name was changed to Ronin Martial Arts & Sciences International (RMASI) to include more of the studies of the body and the sciences that help us to better understand, the true core of the Martial Arts and the Techniques that are taught. And as we had recognised Clubs and Instructors from Australia, Canada, Samoa and South Africa it seemed fitting to change it from New Zealand to International.
