.jpg) Gyodokan
Kaizen Kempo
was founded in 1998 by Grandmaster Daniel Howard. Gyodokan Kaizen Kempo
teaches the rapid fire hand techniques of Okinawan Kempo Karate,
the powerful kicking of the Korean art of Taekwondo, and the
joint-locking, throwing, and Gyodokan Kaizen Kempo is a complete martial art that covers every range of self-defense. Sensei Zechariah Browning is a direct student of Grand Master Daniel Howard and currently holds the rank of Sandan (Third Degree), and continues to promote this concept of teaching. Gyodokan is not a style, it is a concept of teaching. We do not teach you to become a Black Belt or a cage fighter, we teach you to become a teacher; therefore, if you can teach, you can do all the above. Gyodokan is a concept, because it is not what you teach, but how you teach it that matters.

Gyodokan-
House of the true way. The "house" here is the human body. Every
person is different. We are all built different, have different tastes,
different strengths, weaknesses, etc. So no one way of doing anything will
fit everyone. Through training in Gyodokan the student learns to find that
which works for them by being exposed to several different martial arts
all in one package. Kaizen-
Always improving. The real purpose of martial arts training is to
consistently strive to improve yourself, while not comparing yourself to
others. Your toughest competitor will always be yourself, and we want our
students to be proud of who they see in the mirror. At House of the
True Way Martial Arts Academy, we empower our students with the perseverance and confidence they
need to achieve their goals in martial arts and in life. Kempo-
Fist Method. Kempo is what karate was called before it was called karate.
When a school uses the word 'kempo' to describe their art, they are
referring to the original arts that came from China to Okinawa to become
what is called 'karate' today, and although we do attend tournaments,
Kempo Karate is not a sport karate. Kempo was created for the purpose of
self-protection first, and fitness second.

About
Zechariah Browning, Sandan (Third Degree) Zech has trained primarily in Gyodokan Kaizen Kempo; however, he has experience in various arts such as BJJ, Judo, Aikido, Small Circle Jujitsu, Arnis, Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, Koryu Uchinadi, Dekiti Tirsia Siradas and several others. He has discovered that they all share the same goal, to manipulate your opponent into an advantageous position for superiority. He believe that all arts are fantastic and unique in their own manner, and all have strong points that can be studied to help find self realization within your parent art. Open-mindedness
is key when studying, which is why he has continued to grow in the
arts. He started training in TKD as a child, and dabbled in Shorin Ryu
and other arts while serving in the USMC from 1995-1999 active duty.
While serving he began teaching as a Primary Marksmanship Instructor,
Military Police Officer, and Conventional Physical Security Specialist and
Crime Prevention Officer. As he taught Military Police the 9mm
service pistol, and also taught crime prevention, this helped him to gain
the position of the Chief Primary Marksmanship Instructor of Marine Corps
Base Camp Lejeune, Base Marksmanship Training Unit for the last year of
three years served in that position. He was a competitive shooter,
winning points toward becoming a Distinguished Marksman. He won a Medal in
Easter Division Matches in 1999, placing him in the top 10% of the best
marksman in the Marines worldwide that year. Teaching was his
strong suit, which has directly transferred over into his Martial
Arts Training. After leaving the Corps, he began studying with Grand
Master Daniel Howard and started his pursuit of Gyodokan Kempo, which he took
to like a fish in water. It was home for him. Now
that he has the dojo in Brazil, IN, he hopes to promote Gyodokan to the
world. He feels that their method of teaching distinguishes them from many
other martial arts. He
is currently
serving in the Indiana Army National Guard and has continued to instruct
guard members in marksmanship and unarmed self defense, serving as a
Military Police Officer, as well as a Cadre instructor at Camp Atterbury,
training new enlistees. His students always appreciate his hands-on
teaching method, as he continues to receive accolades after class.
