| SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MUSHIN RYU PATCH |

| Red represents the blood shed on the dojo floor |
| Black border represents chaos for Kyu ranks and order out of chaos for Dan ranks |
| White represents purity and humility |
| Yin & Yang represent the dual sides of technique, hard & soft, structure & freestyle, as well as in life. |
| Mushin Ryu - “No Mind” Technique with no thought. The effortless motion and formless form. |
| Mushin is a reflection of "The Nisei" principles instilled by Shihan Ruiz. |
| The Five Rays represent the five steps of Zen Monastic life. Also an homage to Nisei Goju Ryu. |
