Grant and Angel Clyman established Darsana Martial Arts to share a vision: that the true nature of martial arts isn’t just about self-defense and fighting, it is a total path of self-development. Ultimately, technique and physical training is merely a vehicle for the mental and spiritual growth that is the true purpose and heart of the martial arts.

The curriculum we teach at Darsana Martial Arts is designed to bring students to the peak of physical ability and martial skill, but its most important function is that each class teaches the qualities of mind and spirit that make every success possible.

“To me, training in the martial arts is about understanding and integrating principles, then putting the time and effort into applying those principles – over and over.  Cross-integrate your ideas and actions; always edit and refine until you reach a cohesive approach to moving, thinking, and acting, and remember that you always have something to learn.”
