Our dojo is a small family dojo with class sizes intentionally limited to facilitate better learning. Every person is a valuable member of the dojo family, not a face in the crowd. This is a cooperative martial art system where students help each other learn with the Sensei leading the class instruction. The head Sensei of our dojo regularly trains in Japan with the Grandmaster or our martial art system and other high-level master instructors. As is traditional for Koryu/Kobudo schools, please contact Sensei before coming to your first class.​ This is a complete martial art system that includes striking, grappling, weapons, empowerment, and personal development. Please see our About page for more details on our system, our dojo, and what to expect from training. ​Scroll down or jump to the Classes page to learn more about all of our classes and class schedules.

What Our Students Are Saying

An incredible dojo. I've taken other styles like American kenpo, boxing, karate, jujutsu, and kendo. This is by far the best style I've taken. The movements are very precise and fluid, extensive weapons, and unarmed combat training. I'd recommend this dojo to anyone interested in traditional Japanese martial arts or effective styles of self defense." - Raymond C., 5 Star Google Review

"Anyone who has spent time training in more than one dojo knows that they are definitely not all alike. However, comparing them is made more difficult given the vast array of martial arts one could study. On the other hand, it is very easy to tell when you find a great teacher of a complete martial art that happens to be the right fit for you.
Sensei is a very knowledgeable and skilled practitioner as well as being an excellent teacher. He helps us find the contexts and insights beyond merely executing techniques. The other students come from a variety of backgrounds, and their diversity enriches the experience. I am grateful and humbled to have this opportunity train with all of them. The new facility, while awesome, is just an added bonus." - James P., 5 Star Google Review​

"Our family has been a part of this dojo for over 3 years. My children love their Sensei. He is patient with the children and will take the time to show proper technique not only during the class, but also after class if a child asks for help. He is very knowledgeable about the origins of Bujinkan and shares his knowledge with both the adult class and children's class. It also helps knowing that he goes to Japan to train with the Grand Master. I highly recommend this dojo!"
