About Me
Shihan Adrien Breton has been teaching languages for over 50 years and has nearly 35 years of experience as a martial arts teacher. His interest in people’s well-being stems from his desire to promote a balanced physical condition where yin and yang are in harmony. In the traditional Japanese-style ju-jitsu school he founded, this condition takes shape as each adult develops techniques to defend themselves with “kime,” regardless of gender, size or age. In everyday life, the philosophical development of every human being is a natural consequence of achieving balance and harmony through a deeper understanding of oneself and our spiritual component. This spiritual awareness can be developed through introspection and the various forms of meditation offered by nature in its most delicate manifestations (be they flowers, landscapes, the various songs of birds, etc.) or through other meditative and contemplative methods available to us. As we go about our daily hectic activities, all we need to do is take a moment to stop and reflect. The book Our Spiritual Being Above and Beyond our Human Condition can open the door to such reflection and allow us to achieve balance and peace of mind in the face of all these contradictory expectations of our modern way of life.
