This calligraphy, created by karate master, Hokama sensei, is a reminder that we only have "one life, one chance". In our lives there are always opportunities coming and going. They don't always wait for us.
Something caused you to visit this website. Maybe you want to take better care of your health, are curious about martial arts or want self-defense skills. Either way, the only way you can discover what lies in your future as a member of Kodokai is to jump in.
Put your mind at ease when you choose Kodokai. It's not a big risk and it couldn't be easier. Pay for a month- take classes for a month. No contracts, no registration fees, no pressure. And we won't nickel and dime you with hidden fees every month.
Remember, even the cheapest school is no value if the things you are learning are unsound. Call us or come down and we will explain our fees and family discounts. And we will never pressure you to join or commit to anything.
As our student you will enjoy a clean facility and a respectful training environment. Classes begin with a short meditation followed by stretching and core conditioning exercises. We then jump into drills and practical applications. We also offer private lessons for those who require a specialized training.
You will progress at your own pace and gradually be exposed to higher levels of training as you feel comfortable. Classes are non-competitive. There is no one to keep up with, no one to hold you back.
You may test for rank when you are ready or you never have to test at all. Each student is here for a different reason and we want you to have the personalized experience that suits your interests and abilities.
Come on down. Since no other school in the state can provide what we offer, you'd have to go to Japan to find this martial art. Save yourself a long flight.
We'll be watching for you- and it's going to be fun!
