Samurai Dragons is a small school of Traditional Martial Arts offering training in Isshinryu Karate, Okinawan Kobudo, Japanese Iaido and Kenjutsu, Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo, and Adult Self Defense. Isshinryu is an Okinawan vertical fist form of Karate that focuses on a set of simple but direct techniques that have been proven effective for self defense in both public and military settings. Classes focu
s on improving mechanics, accuracy, power, and control while building confidence in each student’s ability to execute the techniques effectively. Kobudo classes are available to adult Black Belts from other styles who wish to add weapons work to their martial arts training. Iaido is a traditional Japanese Martial Art for learning Samurai Swordsmanship. Classes focus on the skills, physical conditioning, and mental focus necessary to safely and effectively handle a Katana. Students begin with a Bokuto or wooden sword training the cut movements, self-defense and other drills necessary to become proficient with skills fundamental to this Martial Art. Intermediate students begin training with an Iaito or un-edged metal sword and Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo, a 50” staff art designed for defense against multiple edged weapons. Adult Self Defense focuses on street application of techniques from Isshinryu, Iaido, and other Martial Arts. Every adult has both the means and right to be able to defend yourself, and these less formal classes help establish a personal toolbox to do so. Classes focus on training a small set of practical techniques along with the confidence, attitude, and awareness necessary to protect yourself and those you love. Special focus seminars are available upon request outside of our normal weekly classes. No previous martial arts experience is needed - just a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. Our programs offer a proven set of techniques from decades of training in traditional martial arts, and your trained responses will evolve over time shared in the Dojo. All of the Samurai Dragons classes are handled through positive instruction with a strong focus on mental and physical improvement while building the tools necessary to achieve your personal goals inside and outside the Dojo. Sheena and David have over 40 years of Martial Arts experience and welcome the opportunity to talk with you more about our programs.
