We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference or national origin.
We are a semi-private dojo and we reserve the decision to grant full membership to potential students once they finish a trial period. We will invest an incredible amount of time and energy into your beginner lessons.
We will ask you to observe or participate one or two classes then decide if its for you. If you think that you would like to go forward, we will provide you with the appropriate membership forms and waivers, give you information on equipment, and invite you to begin training at the next class. After a few months of training, we will happily discuss the potential of full membership and ranking.
We normally accept ages 16 and over
