After about two months of hard work our new Dojang is now open. Don't worry we only moved downstairs in the same plaza.No more steps! Our new location is more spacious and features Olympic style Judo mats...making breakfalls and throws much easier for reality training. We also build a larger changing area and a great pro-shop.A special thanks to our dedicated students and friends for helping make this happen.
