Want to learn samurai and ninja weapons? The Dojo teaches those as well, every Tuesday. There are so many exciting subjects to practice and master.
In a safe, traditional environment, students train in the un-armed combat methods of classical striking, kicking, jujutsu and samurai weaponry.
The primary goal of the dojo practitioner is self-protection and to develop an understanding of natural movement and response to all that they do; to be non-forceful and to use strategy, distancing and timing to overcome any opponent.
You will understand the true elements of classical Japanese warrior craft and history. The classes are motivating and physical, where everyone walks away with a stronger sense of purpose and an appreciation for life.
