Frequently Asked Questions
What are classes like?
A typical class is split into two halves. The first half normally consists of ukemi (rolling/falling), striking, sanshin no kata (individual movement forms), kihon happo (8 basic techniques), or basic weapon training. The second half of class tends to be more free form exploration of the basics in a variety of situations. The focus of any specific class varies between waza (specified attack/defense forms), taijutsu (empty-hand combat), or weapons. Some of the weapons studied include rokushakubo (6 foot staff), hanbo (3 foot staff), katana (sword), kusari (short rope), tanto (knife), and more.

What should I wear to training?
When first starting out, wear whatever comfortable workout clothes you already have. After you've been training for a while, you can order a gi. We train outside so typical footwear options include barefoot, shoes or outdoor tabi.
