Itten Dojo a godsend

Decided to try something more traditional since I’ve only studied combat sport schools for roughly 12 years. After having numerous injuries and not being able to compete in competitions any longer, Itten Dojo is a godsend. While sitting in to watch a class to see if it was for me, I noticed the instructor and student movements were very refined. The instructor not only explained the technique, also explained the purpose behind it. A wonderful first experience and have been enjoying the art form since.

Definitely a special place

Structure and gravity and momentum and physics and sweat and, “Oh my gosh, that makes sense,” and “Nope, guess not,” and then something works just a tiny little bit differently and I don’t know if I did it or if it did me and I’m hooked again. I couldn’t be more impressed with the instruction and everyone I’ve met at the dojo. I feel like I really walked into something special here.
