Brief History Our school opened in July 1996. We have been growing ever since, both in students and also the expansion of our studio. Since the first day we have had an open door forum. We love seeing Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, Siblings and friends observing and sometimes contributing our training (when appropriate). As a school we have taken an active role in our community, such as demonstrations at our county fair, participating in the Info Expo put on for the students of local schools and other community events. At times we have even provided classes for youths who would otherwise not have the chance to participate in any extracurricular activities. Our Dojo has also taught many self-defense courses requested by our community members, schools, and businesses.
