Each year, a group of exceptional To-Shin Do practitioners from around the world gather in Portland, Maine for DISCOVERY.
DISCOVERY is a premier annual training event, featuring the very best in To-Shin Do instruction. All experience levels are invited to explore this historically rich and empowering martial art.
DISCOVERY is about sharing - growing - learning - laughing - teaching - training - and having fun.
Here are just a few of our past Instructors:

Brett Varnum - 6th Degree Hombu Shihan - began To-Shin Do training in the mid-1980s and founded his own Quest Center Affiliate School in Maine in the mid-1990s. In addition to To-Shin Do striking and grappling arts, Dotoshi Varnum's teaching specialties include survival in hostile environments, firearms and archery.
"Mr. Poliquin's DISCOVERY Seminars give both students and teachers a tremendous opportunity to learn and share martial arts knowledge. The spirit of support gives participants a chance to learn, while staying safe and having a great deal of fun. My students and I look forward to attending the DISCOVERY event every year!"
