New Student Waitlist
As we welcome our new beginner families to our martial arts community, we remain committed to the amazing crew of students we already have (especially those that have been with us since the old school), and to keeping classes personally productive with a fun group dynamic.
Due to the overwhelming response and interest we’ve received, we’ve created a wait list for new students.
Any beginner student interested in joining our dojo in the future should place their name on this list and we will contact you when a spot becomes available for the program you’re interested in.
Your wait time may be longer or shorter depending on your program of interest. Some programs may have spots available sooner than others.
We appreciate your understanding, and we thank you for your continued support — You guys are the greatest.
Community Partners
While we do a lot of our teaching at the Dojo, we are also super proud to partner with many schools and organizations in Greenwich to empower young people in our community.

What do we value?

Having Fun
We want everyone to benefit from martial arts as much as possible, so we make sure our classes are fun and engaging. We create a positive atmosphere that encourages learning and growth — because that’s how real transformation happens!

Challenging Yourself
We want our students to achieve things that are challenging.
When they do, they’ll feel the pride of having earned something meaningful, through their hard work. And they’ll gain confidence when they see they can achieve things that may have seemed difficult, or even impossible at first.
We understand the importance of self-confidence, and therefore make sure our students learn the life skills that will help them succeed in any environment. Our classes build confidence by teaching respect, teamwork, perseverance, and other valuable traits.
Learning Self-Defense
Imagine your child as a bright, successful, independent, powerful individual who stands up for what he or she believes...
...and when necessary, can defend him or herself, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
At our dojo, we teach practical self-defense techniques that are age-appropriate. We help our students understand how to use their martial arts abilities responsibly and effectively in various situations.

Being Great Teachers
We are proud to have a full staff of professionally trained instructors who help make the Dojo such a great place — they all bring their unique teaching styles and specialties to the table. Each one of them is dedicated to helping our students reach their fullest potential, both on and off the mat. We could not do this without them.
Our instructors are amazing with kids. Our parents have used words and phrases like “firm, but gentle,” “hilarious,” “inspiring,” “incredibly patient,” “they really care,” and “they teach our kids respect, discipline, and a sense of community”.
Being Seen
Our job is to understand our students as an individual and provide the right balance of nurture and challenge for them. We also regularly check in with our students and their parents to make sure they’re getting the support they need.
We help them see the best versions of themselves and show them how they can reach their goals — through practice, dedication, and hard work.
This is our commitment to all of our students, every single day. And that’s why we do what we do.

Welcoming All
We are a warm, familial community. Our motto, “I Am Because We Are” reflects our core philosophy of community and interconnectedness. We strive to make the Dojo an inviting, open-minded place where people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds can come together to learn, practice, and grow.
No matter who you are or where you come from, we want you to feel welcome here.
Choose what’s right for your family
We want your family to feel safe and happy. That's why we offer a 10 Day Free Trial, so you can try our martial arts program for yourself -- and see the difference that it will make in your life!
