For more than 20 years, DSI has been the world’s leader and innovator in martial science. Scores of individuals and organizations have laid claim to being the best; yet today those same individuals and organizations only provide a residual presence in this field. DSI’s growth and sustainability owes its success to proven and excepted medical and applied sciences, field testing by law enforcement and personal protection personnel and continual internal scrutiny of our methods and members.

    Today, Dragon Society International is extremely excited to announce the Dragon Society International Affiliate School Program (DSIASP). The DSIASP is open to all martial arts schools that are not currently headed by a DSI Certified Instructor and would like to train in Torite-Jutsu with the intent to promote Black Belts in Torite-Jutsu. Serious martial art school instructors have the addition benefit of training to join the prestigious rank as one of our Certified Instructors.
