The Dojo Way

Serious training, humble people

Full-contact karate is demanding, and we treat it with respect. Our culture is no-ego: students bow in, work hard and look after one another, whether they are nine or forty-nine. Discipline here is something you build together on the dojo floor.

  1. Discipline

    Built together, one class at a time.
  2. Self-defense

    Traditional technique, drilled until it’s calm.
  3. Serious conditioning

    Full-contact karate asks a lot of the body.
  4. No-ego culture

    Bow in. Work hard. Look after one another.

Degree black belt · Head instructor

Head instructor

Led from the front by a fourth-degree black belt

Our head instructor holds a fourth-degree black belt and sets the standard for the dojo, in technique and in character. Students learn from someone who leads by example and expects the same humility from everyone who steps onto the floor.

  • Leads by example

Belt grading

Every belt is earned, twice a year

Each spring and fall we hold a belt-grading ceremony. Students demonstrate what they have learned, families come to watch, and the whole dojo celebrates the work behind every new belt. Progress is steady, honest and earned.
