To-Shin Do
Founded by Black Belt Hall of Fame member, Stephen K. Hayes, To-Shin Do offers Japan's oldest martial art, with today's modern teaching methods.
To-Shin Do is based on ancient warrior martial arts disciplines handed down by nine historical Japanese samurai and ninja family lineages. At the same time it is a modern approach to handling threats and confrontations in our culture today. Our art was developed as a way to increase the likelihood of peace, security, and well being not as ways to encourage violence.
Roots of To-Shin Do
刀 TO - the sword
心 SHIN - the focused spirit of intention
道 DO - the path to mastery

Testimonials
From the moment we first walked into the Quest Center, we could tell it was different. The teachers were extremely engaged and friendly, especially with the younger students. There was a sense of community amoung the staff, students, and family members, and we were impressed by how supportive and encouraging everyone was to each other. At the Quest Center, children are taught to “use their voice” and speak up for themselves, as well as ask questions. DQC has taught my reserved daughter the importance of using her voice and my energetic son the importance of focus. Most importantly, the Quest Center focuses on helping people become their best selves. Our son says, “It is the one place I can truly be myself,” and our daughter says, “It is my place to shine.” We are grateful for the many blessings the Quest Center has given our family. That is why we have stayed so many years.”
Lisa Bullerman
What I love most about Quest is that our family can become healthy together, as well as making lasting friendships along the way! Since joining the Quest family, I have lost 35 pounds and I’m still going – I am strengthening my mind and my body. The strength and confidence being taught to me and my children is priceless, and I will forever be thankful for that!”
