Purpose Statement

The purpose of the Warrior Pages is to Educate, Motivate and Entertain martial artists and potential martial artists, to create camaraderie between martial artists of different styles, and to finance itself and the accumulation of knowledge necessary to keep it fresh and vibrant. The Warrior Pages will Educate through the use of articles expressing differing viewpoints of the martial arts, through videos displaying techniques, through learning activities and posting of information common to most martial arts, through regular updates via the newsletter, through reviews to make martial artists aware of useful products and those to avoid.

Action Plan

• The Warrior Pages will Motivate by showing the level of involvement of others and the display of skills dedicated training can foster. 
• The Warrior Pages will entertain by providing martial arts related material designed to bring martial artists back and engage them during their visits. 
• The Warrior Pages will develop camaraderie by focusing on the similarities between various arts rather than their differences and providing forum to rationally discuss these differences and similarities. 
• The Warrior Pages will finance itself through the use of martial arts related advertising, affiliate programs and the operation of its own online store, none of which will be allowed to interfere with the content, quality or other purposes of the Warrior Pages.

Founder

The founder of the Warrior Pages is Bart Scovill. He trains in Shuri-ryu Karate-do. He is a lawyer by trade, but a martial artist at heart. Bart has been training in the martial arts since 1978, and currently trains and teaches under the legendary Shihan Donna Judge at the Suncoast Karate Dojo in Sarasota, Florida. One of the great things about training with a legend is being surrounded by other legends and legends to be.

Bart has previously trained in Shorin-ryu, Wado-ryu, and Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu. In addition to Shuri-ryu, he also trains in jiu-jitsu (both Japanese and Brazilian), bagua-zhang, xing-yi quan, qigong, aikido, kali, kobudo and yoga.

Shuri-ryu was brought to America by Grandmaster Robert Trias, the father of American Karate. In Shuri-ryu, karateka are expected to defend themselves standing, sitting, kneeling or lying down. Bart believes that through observing mixed martial arts matches and through his own personal experiences that it is essential to be able to defend yourself from any position.

Outside of the office and dojo, Bart is a devoted father and his favorite activities are snow skiing with his family and occasionally swimming with dolphins (right Sensei Scolardi).
