Membership
We are a small, tightly knit dojo committed to the pursuit of traditional Okinawan martial arts. Karate and Kobudo are offered as separate programs in order to provide students with the flexibility to choose the area of training that they are most interested in. We regard Okinawan martial arts as a significant part of our lives, and consider new members who are serious and likely share our enthusiasm. Therefore the youngest age accepted is 16 years old.
