If you’re looking for a dojo and instructor that still teaches the skills of the Samurai this is where you need to be

Michael was one of the first people who welcomed me and made me feel comfortable 9 years ago when I started training and he’s still doing it today. Visited his dojo a few months ago and was amazed at how he had grown in the art in the 5 years or so since I had saw him. His passion and knowledge of the art speak for themselves. He and his class couldn’t made me feel more welcome and because of that I’m starting training with them. Thanks so much
