Great, authentic training. You don't just learn the moves, but also the history and context. Anyone interested in both martial arts and Japanese history, especially the Samurai, will enjoy this place.

Great place to learn in a way divergent to other self defense classes. This class is lead by a great instructor that coaches students to grow mentally, spiritually, and physically. In this class you will learn the what, where and why behind each new technique and movement that you learn. Each fighting style is derived from this fighting style, which was taught directly to the class instructor in Japan constructing the most authentic Budo community in Knoxville.
