Our Story
In the Flow Studios started out as a dream in 1992, when Aurora and Roland Ferrer opened their first martial arts studio together, Kadan Martial Arts. At that time their focus was on taking the martial arts to the highest level they could and sharing it with as many people as they could. They trained elite athletes as well as young children in multiple martial arts styles and disciplines. Their martial arts studio out grew its first location within 3 years and their family grew with two sons, Kadante and Roland. They chose their second location not only to accommodate their larger student base but also to facilitate broadening their scope to honor the great martial arts masters of the past as well as their love for the arts and humanities.
The arts, healing and humanities have been integral parts of the martial arts journey from its inception. For thousands of years amongst diverse cultures, countries and peoples the mastery of physical martial arts is accompanied with mastery in other arts. (Healing Arts, Horticulture, Calligraphy, Music, Dance, Painting, Sculpting, Poetry, Animal Husbandry, Farming, Meditation)
“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet” ― Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
The Ferrers had hoped their second location would one day become the home of In the Flow Studios and for a brief time it was. They had a chance to offer dance, pilates, music, acting, cultural classes, art, Rocks & Culture Shop, Arts Open Houses and fundraisers for a number of years. Circumstances turned and they had to leave their location of 16 years. The Ferrer Family stayed committed to their dream of bringing artists together to enrich not only their martial arts but to create a community of creative, talented, inclusive people wanting to use their art to help others.
For 8 years these talented and well-respected artists have donated their time, wisdom, art and heart at ITFS Arts Open Houses & Fundraisers to help raise funds and awareness for those in need at the Ferrer residence. Regardless of their (artist) notoriety or fame these generous people stepped up to share their art in a humble venue just to be of service to others. ITFS artists helped to keep the dream alive until the Ferrers could find a location suitable to become a permanent home.
In the Flow Studios now has a beautiful facility to call home as well as a diverse online studio and shop. ITFS is committed to supporting, empowering and inspiring its students, clients, audiences and artists, locally and globally. ITFS has a network of masters in their fields ready to share their knowledge of voice, dance, martial arts, painting, meditation, acting, body consciousnesses, cultural arts, and so much more. ITFS is host to cutting edge and informative classes, workshops, talks, shows, events and community service projects. It's a place in brick and mortar and online where people from all walks of life and cultures can come together to share in the arts, learn new skills and use their talents to inspire the next generation.
