Shinja Martial Arts University
The Senior Council serves in an “advisory capacity” to the President similar to that of the SMAU Advisory Board. However, there is a definitive distinction between the two in that the Senior Council may be consulted on much broader and more sensitive issues pertaining to concerns of the President of the SMAU. All Senior Council members hold Grandmaster status or are men/women serving as major contributors to the martial arts through business or healing arts of various capacities and who share in the vision of
Shinja Martial Arts University.
