Classical
DOJO
Our dojo’s training floor is designed in accordance with classical beliefs in martial arts such as chi and how it flows. Moreover, like a classical dojo, it is set in a natural setting, next to a park, and training will integrate the surroundings as weather permits.
Contemporary training
Training will not be restricted to a single discipline nor limited by the traditional elements of a training space. Students will be encouraged to train in multiple Eastern disciplines, and training will include the use of street clothing as well as practice outside of the training floor.
