traditional martial arts program

Start your black belt journey!

The core of our traditional martial arts curriculum practices the Uchudo style, where students will learn formal stances, strikes, and katas (forms). In addition, we practice techniques from Master Mark’s training in Jukaido Kan Karate, Judo, and Krav Maga to provide a broad martial arts experience, integrating components of our practical self-defense program with our martial arts program.

Our martial arts program adheres to a structured and disciplined environment, which includes traditional ceremonies and rituals (bowing, formal lineups and sitting positions, reciting our creed, respecting our training environment, etc.). We perform our rituals during instruction and belt promotions.

practical self-defense program

Learn our unique personal safety framework: “PACE Yourself & Don’t be DARED!”

Going off to college and interested in learning some basic, practical self-defense? Or perhaps you’re nervous about traveling abroad and want to feel safe?

Our self-defense instruction includes lots of practical and effective hands-on techniques and conditioning in an informal setting. We incorporate elements of Hapkido, Krav Maga, and Karate (including punches and kicks and joint locks) without the formality of traditional martial arts ceremonies or belt promotions.

We don’t just teach you how to physically defend yourself in simulated situations, however. Our training includes discussions on principles and concepts such as:

• Prevention
• Awareness
• Avoidance
• Duty to retreat
• Stand your ground
• Other many more important self-defense principles

We encourage students to ask questions, explore scenarios, and share their own experiences. Our goal is to build confidence in knowing how to defend yourself, combined with good decision-making.

Cardio kickboxing program

Take your cardio training to the next level with our private-only kickboxing program.

This program is offered only in our private format enhancing your stamina, strength, skill and confidence!

You will be guided to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. Our program is more than a physical workout, we work with you to build your confidence and strengthen your belief in yourself.

In this student-driven program you control the intensity, while we encourage you to reach your next-level training.

• Learn proper hand and foot position for punches and kicks
• Static and dynamic calisthenics
• Training with weights
• Heavy bag training

schools & youth center program

Near-free and free programs for our community partners.

This program offers students in elementary, middle, and high school an introduction to martial arts fundamentals. Instruction for these 45- to 60-minute classes focuses on delivering hybrid self-defense and traditional martial arts training sessions in a fun environment. We bring all necessary equipment to the facility.

This program runs 4 weeks and has limited enrollment. If a student wishes to enroll in this program but we do not have availability, or the student would prefer a larger group environment, then we will refer the student to a partner school. We will work with you to find the best place for you!

When students complete the program, we will have a promotion ceremony at the last class and provide a certificate of achievement to each student, acknowledging them achieving the rank of advanced white belt. Continue the program at subsequent sessions and continue your journey through our belt system.

Students (or their family members!) then can redeem this certificate for a discount on instruction in our standard programs and are eligible to enter our martial arts program as an advanced white belt.

The certificate can be redeemed at The Traveling Dojo or one of our partner schools. Hours spent in this introductory program will count toward your next belt if you enroll with The Traveling Dojo.

private instruction

Fine tune and perfect your skill in our private one-on-one sessions.

Private instruction is available in all of our programs and is tailored to provide each student a maximum level of comfort, including identifying whatever location makes them feel the safest and most focused. Private instruction is a great place for our neurodivergent students to start.

This format is also great for those who desire a high level of achievement more quickly, with attention to detail and skill performance.

Private lessons are also ideal for students that may struggle providing their full attention in a group session, or who may not feel comfortable in a group session.

small group instruction

Don’t get lost in the crowd with our small group instruction and still get the attention you deserve.

Small group instruction is ideally provided in groups of between 2 to 8 students, but no more than 10 students. This format offers a lower tuition cost and is a great way to build comradery and confidence around others.

We have group instruction for students from the ages of 6 to 10 (Ninjas), 11 to 15 (Warriors), and 16 and older (Adults).

Each student will get the same level of instruction, with the same attention to detail. While not required, we also encourage students in our private format to transition to the group format when they are ready, so they can expand building their confidence around others.

where we train

 We will come to your home, your school or place of work and bring all necessary equipment.

We work with partner schools, youth and recreation centers to use their facilities.

Weather permitting, we will use local parks for a more natural, and peaceful setting.

Master Mark has a fully equipped home dojo perfect for private instruction.

Our schedules are flexible. While we need to work around the schedules of all our students, we don’t have a fixed schedule (unless you want one). We try our best to fit in everyone on a day and time that is best for you. If your schedule changes from week to week, then we’ll try our best to accommodate you. Group sessions will meet at a day and time convenient for the entire group.
