At The Sage Institute our goal is to offer training to students of all ages to challenge them, inspire them and teach them what is truly means to be a martial artist.
The students start with study of a Martial Arts system that is simple and clean to allow them to experience the challenge of the techniques themselves. Training continues on a to study more joint locks and immobilizations that focus more on compassion. The confidence felt at this point can permiate every aspect of life and changes the students view on the world and their role in it.The Ranger Training program is a woodman based learning system that teaches survival and mountaineering through emersion into the beautiful woood on western Mass. Students of the Sage Institute Martial Arts program may choose to study under the Ranger Training program as well.The Life Energy School is the part of the training where students learn meditation skills, as well as, Tai Chi and Chi Kung to calm their minds in order to better hear their spirits. The meditation is both sitting and walking with a focus on mindfullness. After a lesson on what Chi is, the members are taught the basics of Tai Chi and Chi Kung to explore for themselves the power or Chi.The final portion of training for students is the Masters Training program. These lessons are designed for all Black Belts from any martial arts system to learn and explore the history and purposes of the martial arts in general.
