BMAI is honored to be hosting a WEEKEND of Judo kata clinics. Check out the flyers for the TWO events on October 24 & 25. And share!

BMAI opened 38 years ago today under the simple name, “The Dojo.” It was the bold idea of this 24 year old kid who dropped a finger on a map and landed in Eugene. Trusting fate proved to be the right choice.

What a fabulous journey it’s been. Thank you to all who have supported the dojo and been a part of this amazing community. My hair might be fading away, but the love of the arts I teach, and the people I share them with, just continues to grow! ❤️

The Dojo's very first students.
