Kyudokan dojo students study under the direction of Sensei Andy Dominey.

The essence of the Kyudokan is to study the many levels of karate contained within Goju.

A structured syllabus is used to help develop students, offering an understanding of the importance of the traditional ways of Goju.

When the students have reached a level beyond the basic requirements, they are encouraged to look deeper into their own study.

Bunkai, kata, and kumite evolve into more than just traditional form.

When studying, please always remember the following points:

• You have permission to defend yourself
• You have permission to be rude to protect yourself
• You have permission to beat me
• You have the right to feel safe
• You have the duty to respect your teacher and each other

In addition to the scheduled classes, we also offer private lessons, please Contact Us for more information.
