About Us

Snow Lion Martial Arts Centers were first started in rural Ontario in early 2000. It was founded by Jason Carter as a sister club to “K&D Martial Arts Centres” which has been running a very successful club since 1986. It moved to its present Head Quarters in St Thomas, Ontario in 2005 and is now running class from it new location in London, Ontario as well as private/advanced instruction at its HQ.

Mr. Carter is ranked in Shotokan Karate and is also a first generation linage holder for the modern Jujitsu Ryu of Seishindo which he was one of the first 6 students to receive the rank of Shodan from the Ryus founder. He has also gone on to found his own Jujitsu Ryu which is called “Nyingbu-lam”. It is a rugged Jujitsu system containing heavy strikes, joint locks, throws and pressure points. It was generated form his many years of training in the arts of Kung Fu, Judo, Karate & Jujitsu Together it forms one of the most effective and simple self defense systems that one can learn..

What separates Nyingbu-lam Jujitsu from many other systems is that, it covers all areas of defense, from the stand to the ground and all areas in between, from empty hand to weapons. This gives students the ability to defend themselves and their loved ones from a multitude of attacks from a multitude of positions.

Shihan Carter is also a contemporary Buddhist and Ordained Bodhisattva and has spent 10 plus years training this mind and filling his heart full of compassion and openness for all. He has studied how compassion is entwined in self defense as much as it is the fabric of life. This can be seen in his teachings and in his art of Nyingbu-lam. The name alone “Nyingbu-lam” is Tibetan for Compassionate Excellence. A student will not only learn how to utilize their bodies in the use of defending themselves but they will also learn how to adopt and utilize their minds and hearts as well; self defense in not only about defending yourself from an attacker, but also defending that attacker from himself. So students will learn how to identify dangerous situations, and how to make spontaneous intelligent decisions on the proper type of action such as avoid the situation, calm the situation, defend oneself or even flee the situation. Every defensive situation is different, just like the people involved, so a cookie cutter reaction is not always the best.

Nyingbu-lam Jujitsu can now be found being taught across Ontario in Clinton, London & St Thomas areas and are only staffed by highly skilled and highly motivated certified instructors.



Nyingbu-lam Jujitsu is officially recognized by the European Jujitsu / Jujutsu Union, International Jujitsu Federation, Nippon Seibukan Academy and are under the International Counsel of Sport Science and Physical Education [ICSSPE] and the United Nations Educational Cultural Scientific Organization [UNECSO] umbrella. So therefore students can take pride in knowing that there rank and titles are truly recognized world wide.
