The Shindo Story
Shindo is a modern martial art formulated by Kerry Dunne, founder and chief instructor at the Shindo New Breed MMA gym. Kerry was a pioneer of Australian Mixed Martial Arts, coaching an MMA curriculum from 1994 onwards.
There is no single unified discipline of MMA, as the term "Mixed Martial Arts" refers to a competitive rule-set rather than discrete sets of techniques, but the Shindo curriculum addresses all of the skills required to successfully compete in MMA competition: striking, clinching, throws & takedowns, and submission grappling.
"Shindo" is the amalgamation of the Japanese terms "Shin" meaning "new" and "Do" meaning "way" or "path" - an allusion to the underlying philosophy of the system: innovation and evolution.
