-Dogen The study of martial arts is the practice of finding balance between extremes. This is true from the smallest details to the broadest principles. At our dojo, we seek the productive middle way between extremes of practice. Our workouts are rigorous, but we emphasize safety (martial arts cease to be a source of self-defense if we injure ourselves in practicing). We are respectful, to each other and to the martial traditions in which we train, but we value dialogue, and questions. Click here to view our workout schedule and location. A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth.
The blood circulating is similar to the Moon and Sun.
