Class Structure
Group classes with our instructors are currently being offered three days a week. Topics vary from body mechanics and mobility, unarmed combative techniques, and weapons work with wooden training swords, bo staff, and shuriken. Practicing these methods requires body movements paired with concentration and proper breathing. The goal is to cultivate the body by strengthening the muscles and improving mental capabilities. All students must complete an application and briefly meet with our instructor before attending or sitting in on their first class.
Group and one-on-one private lessons are available. Please contact us as far ahead as possible to better accommodate your schedule with ours.
