Mary Aitoshi has worked in the recreation field since she was a teenager, from lifeguarding to aquatic instruction to martial arts. Recognizing this ongoing vocational choice, she earned her Master’s in Recreation Administration from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2002.

She opened the Boulder Quest Center as a way to bring the benefits of embodied empowerment education to the Boulder community.  As a student of the martial art of To-Shin Do in Chapel Hill, NC, she realized first hand that this practice transforms individuals, families, and communities.  After she moved to Boulder in 2004, she felt strongly that this community deeply desired the benefits that To-Shin Do practice offers.

Mary also finds time to volunteer and give seminars to community groups, sororities and businesses on self defense and self confidence. She is the current Vice President of Play! Boulder (formerly called the Boulder Parks and Recreation Foundation). She writes an advice column for Women's Magazine, maintains a blog on her own website boulderquest.com, and works with the business community of Boulder to develop empowerment opportunities for all.  She has delivered empowerment seminars at Outdoor Divas, Lululemon, sororities on the CU campus, Horizons school, the Journey School, BIBA (Boulder Independent Business Alliance), the Business Women's Leadership Group (Boulder Chamber of Commerce), and in her own dojo for corporate, military, and business groups.  She continues to grow in her own personal martial and meditation practices from the To-Shin lineage, and for recreation, she hikes, swims, and skis with her husband Kevin.

Mary is proud to be living fully and freely as an empowered, educated woman with her own business bringing her inspiration and dream to the world. She loves nothing more than to share that power and knowledge with others, especially women finding their own way to power and dream-manifestation.

Kevin Keitoshi, with his wife Mary Aitoshi, met Stephen K. Hayes and his wife Rumiko Hayes in 1999. They were greatly inspired to see authentic heroes still at work in the world. The Hayes manifested that perfect combination of connection to universal energies, great intelligence, and practical accomplishment power. Kevin was compelled to learn more about both the martial and spritual practices of the To-Shin lineage.

As a martial artist, Kevin Keitoshi has studied and practiced since 1998, with both modern and historical material.  He seeks endlessly to understand both the context and content of unarmed and weapons-based martial training.

He also took up a formal Buddhist practice in October 2000. Within a year, the astonishing interplay of body-movement and power exploration in To-Shin Do with the subtle and profound mind examination of esoteric Buddhism made it clear to him that he had indeed come home to the path he was meant to walk. He took the Refuge vows of Buddhism in December of 2001, and after several years of practice and study, became a Deshi Disciple in the Blue Lotus Assembly under Mr. Hayes, receiving the Dharma name Jikei.

Kevin Keitoshi gives seminars to corporate, military, and private groups on self-defense, focus under pressure, and the subtle postures and energies that influence conflict.  He also provides private lessons to individuals seeking specialized or personalized instruction, leads the Boulder Quest Leadership College team for new instructors, and leads the Boulder Quest Hospitality Team for Dignitary Protection.  He maintains a blog, works on new technology ventures, writes articles for local magazines, produces To-Shin Do related videos, and contribues to business advisory groups both locally and nationally.  He continues his personal martial and meditation practices with great enthusiasm, continuously exploring how to better understand the lessons of history and apply those insights today.  For recreation, he loves to hike, run, meditate, or snowboard on big mountains.

Jennifer Secrist Goran began her tribal bellydance training in San Francisco in 1989 with well known American Tribal Style founder, instructor and performer Carolena Nericcio, director of FatChanceBellyDance (www.fcbd.com). Jennifer was immediately impressed by the presence and poise of the instructor and by the powerful, organic feel of the dance.
