HISTORIC BRADY LODGE
Brady Lodge was built by George Nexsen Brady in 1921 and he founded Camp Brady. Once established, the camp
was run by the Detroit Area Council of Boys Scouts of America through the 1940s. For the next 30 years, the property
accommodated a recreational camp for mothers and children run by the District of Nursing Society. In 1972, it was
leased to yet another group serving underprivileged youth and children with disabilities.
Brady Lodge recently underwent a major facelift. Renovations have included a new roof, bell tower, windows and
glass cargo bays, interior and exterior paint, asphalt driveway and parking lot, a new electrical system, and bathrooms.

SANCHIN-RYU’S KARATE FOR KIDS!
For Kindergarten-8th grade. This program combines two crucial courses into one, Sanchin-Ryu Karate & Self-
Defense and Project: Secure Child (child safety). Students will be trained with proven, age-appropriate techniques
that are necessary for kids to protect themselves from attackers. This program is set in a fun, yet structured,
environment which will give your child a positive outlook on learning a martial art. We focus on healthy attitudes
versus perfection! Participants will achieve great self-confidence and leadership through the physical techniques,
mental strategies, drills and exercises they are led through.
SANCHIN-RYU’S KARATE FOR FAMILIES!
A Parent AND Child program for all ages! Set in a fun, non-competitive and informative atmosphere, this
program allows parents to learn alongside their children. Physical techniques will be instructed along with drills
and exercises, to help you have a positive experience with your self-defense education. Sanchin-Ryu will teach
you how to use your whole body, rather than just certain muscle groups, so size and stature are not an issue.
SANCHIN-RYU’S KARATE FOR ADULTS!
For ages 14 and older. Set in a fun, non-competitive and informative atmosphere, this program is designed
to empower today’s adults with knowledge that can save your life! Students will learn a broad range of
techniques including individual strikes, advanced combinations and more. You will also receive training on how
to deal with, get out of and counter different grabs and other attack scenarios. Sanchin-Ryu will teach you
how to use your whole body, rather than just certain muscle groups, so size and stature are not an issue.
