Welcome to The Dojo!

The techniques that make up the core of our training method of To-Shin Do® are based on an ancient and well-tested system of warrior disciplines handed down by nine historical Japanese lineages. At the same time, our training is built around a very modern approach to successfully handling the kinds of threats and confrontations that are most likely in our own contemporary culture.

From the very first lesson, students learn methods that they can use right away, regardless of their physical condition or any prior martial arts experience.

Little Dragons classes are offered for 4-7 year olds where they have fun while they gain confidence and learn basic ways that they can protect themselves. Respect for others is emphasized and the classes are safe and non-competitive.

Level 1 - You begin your adventure with a 6-9-month course which is designed to provide you with a grounding in effective physical, intellectual, and emotional self-protection.

Level 2 - Build on the success-generating principles of personal confidence, ability to recognize potential danger, and capability to respond effectively under pressure.

Level 3 - At this level your training evolves into a “path of self-knowledge, self-discovery and personal exploration.” This level skill and confidence leads to earning a black belt.

Level 4 - Black Belt Mastery As a Black Belt student, you go beyond basic technique to enter the realm of training a winning spirit for all of life’s challenges.

Classical Training - For practitioners interested in classical training, The Dojo offers courses in traditional and historical scroll training from our nine historical lineages from Japan.

TO - the sword
At the core of our physical protection techniques and strategies are ageless combat methods born of the legendary phantom ninja warriors, rising from the lands
of Mt. Togakure, cultivated in the wooded mountains and marshes of Iga in Japan.

SHIN - the focused spirit of intention
From the depths of our program to every move made, we embrace the essence of the rigorous intention-channeling training of the shugenja of Mt. Yoshino - dedicated to the discovery and development of nine key qualities that characterize a fully actualized human being.

DO - the path to mastery
We walk with the spirit of all masters on a living journey
that comes from the original Himalayan esoteric mikkyo vajrayana mind and spirit sciences of Mt. Hiei, cultivating our unlimited physical, mental, emotional and spiritual potential.
