| - Just an all around great dojo. But what makes a dojo?
First is the system. The Hisardut system (which only has two schools in the US) of Israeli martial arts blends several different disciplines; such as judo, Japanese jujitsu, and krav maga in order to give its students the ability to survive. While this may sound a little ominous, it's not because....
When you come to this dojo, you don't just join a gym, you join a community. It's not just about fighting and fitness (though all ages will learn to fight while getting fit); it's potluck dinners, holiday parties, etc. Seriously, Sensei Tomer lives steps away from the dojo, he's literally inviting you to his home when you train.
If you're experienced in any form of martial arts, I'd recommend giving this place a try: It's a great place to expand your knowledge and learn new techniques. If you've never trained before, this might be one of the best places to start. Yes, you'll be pushed, but you will really be encouraged, no matter your age. If your thinking about getting your kids started to maybe learn self defense and discipline, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot.
A word of caution though, this is not a buy-a-belt system. You can't go from white belt to black belt in six years or anything like that. There's no fast track, and in order to move up, you actually have to fight for it.
I think they might still offer a free class to see if you like it. You'd have to give them a call to find out, but if they do, give them a try, you have nothing to lose.
