WHY IT WORKS
Why adults train with us
IN THE DOJO
What an adult class looks like
Classes open with a warmup and conditioning, then move through technique, kata, and controlled sparring (kumite). Monday evenings include a dedicated sparring class for those who want it. Every session is scalable, so a first-timer and a seasoned student can train in the same room and both be challenged.
