We accept new joiners year-round at any time, and can make sure that an instructor is available to teach you whenever you arrive. Just come in with loose and comfortable training clothes for your first session.

Everyone here is so warm, friendly, and patient :) I had been worried about joining a dojo after moving to a new city, and I am so grateful that the wonderful people here made the transition so natural and lovely.
