Learn moreA building built for exactly this.
Our founder built this 2,400 square foot dojo by hand, on two cleared acres. Every inch of it exists to teach martial arts, and to give a family somewhere to spend the afternoon.
Bringing a sibling along?
The brother or sister who isn't in class can play on our outdoor playground while a parent supervises. And when class lets out, everybody plays.
The Ninja Line
Strung across the middle of the dojo. Grip, balance, and upper body strength training in a fun, challenging way.
The Throwing Wall
Hira shuriken (ninja stars), kunai (throwing knives), and fukiya (blow guns). Traditional Japanese weapons, taught with real discipline and real safety.
Outdoor Playground
Where siblings play during class time, with a parent supervising. Where they can be loud, have fun, and act like kids.
Trampoline
Because a kid who just spent time learning self-control has earned a few minutes of bouncing and having fun.
Changing our world, one black belt at a time.
Michael Lowery stepped onto a mat at eight years old and never really stepped off. Karate. Jiu Jitsu. Kung Fu. Tae Kwon Do. The five traditional Japanese weapons. A black belt in each one.
Somewhere along the line he saw a way to glorify God through martial arts. So he built a system that put the two together, and he named it after the reason: Yeshua's Ryu. Jesus' Way.
He spent three decades on it. Refining the system, teaching the classes, watching students walk in as one person and leave as another. It became his life's work. To see people grow in Christ, and to send them into the world able to protect themselves and the people they love.
Then he handed it to his stepson.
Jayson Lindemuth runs the school today. Every class. Every student. Same system. Same building. Same conviction that a punch should be taught beside a principle, and that a student is trained in mind, body, and spirit or they are not really being trained at all.
We keep no trophy case. We are not raising competitors. We are raising the kind of people you would want living next door.
"A Black Belt is not something you simply earn. A Black Belt is who you are becoming."

A look inside the dojo.
Trusted by families across Raeford, Fayetteville, and Hope Mills.
"Staff is without a doubt some of the most patient and caring individuals I have met. They deal with our son who is literally all gas no break with compassion. His progression from bouncing around and doing push-ups for correction constantly has progressed dramatically. The positive influence this has had on him is unmeasurable. Highly recommend to anyone."
"Very skilled instructors with a rich history in martial arts! This is absolutely one of the best if not the best in a 60 mile radius! I visited 5-6 different gyms, watched classes, asked questions, gathered details, and called more then that before landing here. I have experience in martial arts and know what to look for in a gym and in instructors. I've been a student here for a while and can say with 100% confidence that this is where you want to be."
"My daughter is 5 and started a year ago in the little warrior classes and absolutely loves it. It has a great family atmosphere, the instructors are fantastic and she has learned so much about karate, self discipline and herself. It has also given her a positive focus for her energy, helped her make new friends and raised her self confidence. Its a great program and I can't say enough good thing."
