What you can Expect
While training in our dojo what you can expect is to learn a traditional Japanese martial art. What this means is you will not be training how to spar, or being prepared for tournaments. These are things taught for sports that have rules. Here you will be taught survival, warriorship, honor, and culture.
Class is usually run in the following order:
- Students set up the mats, inspecting the equipment for flaws that may cause injury.
- Start warming up the body
- Some light stretching
- Bow in ceremony to begin class
- San Shin
- Ukemi
- Work on techniques or exercises to assist in the students development
- Bow out ceremony
- Students put the mats away, and make sure the dojo is in the same condition it was when entered.
