Southeast Martial Arts Academy

Shisei Ryu Aikibudo is a modern martial art that combines techniques from Aikido, Judo, and Karate-do. It is a social form of budo that focuses on mutual welfare and benefit, rather than individual performance. The art is based on core concepts and techniques that are developed through intuitive methods and dynamic situations. It is a holistic practice that develops the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. The dojo emphasizes a traditional 'budo' art, with a focus on personal development and self-improvement. The founder, Gary W. Ducote, was a renowned leader and mentor who trained numerous martial artists and leaders. His legacy lives on through the dojo and its members, who strive to perfect their character, be faithful and truthful, and seek harmony in all things.
