"I've been a student of traditional Japanese martial arts for 43 years and I can tell you that this is one of the most enjoyable dojo to which I have belonged. \n\nAside from the high skill level of the instructors and students, the entire student body is very welcoming and carries themselves with a humility that is rare - especially nowadays. Camaraderie is fostered through lots and lots of great sweat. \n\nI've studied other arts at dojo where everything is about the instructor and there is a negative energy that leads to high student turnover and dissatisfaction. Not here. Poage Sensei and Richards Sensei have built a great place to learn and it is obvious that helping the students to grow and strive for personal excellence is their top priority. I highly recommend it."^^ . "4"^^ .
