Hanshi Ian Pollet believes that a Martial Artist should never stop or look back - they should keep going forward, creating new things. He lives this philosophy through his travels all over the world, meeting, training and learning from experts in many different disciplines.

The style Hanshi Pollet has developed (and now teaches in his three full-time studios) is based upon the water principle – the idea that water can fit itself into any glass, just as a martial artist must fit their art and self into any life situation.
