In a traditional dojo setting all students train together, regardless of rank or experience. This gives the student an
opportunity to train with people of all different skill levels and experience. It also allows the sempai, or senior
students, to assist the kohai, or junior students with their training, and to act as extra sets of eyes for the sensei,
or instructors. The establishment of a proper sempai - kohai relationship is important in a classical setting.
Though we preserve and maintain this traditional setting of mixed skill-level classes, we have recently begun a
class once per week aimed specifically at the fundamentals of our training. All students are urged to attend all
classes. New students are not restricted to the Foundation Class, but they would do well to ensure that they at
least attend that class during the week.
Our current class schedule is as follows, and is subject to change based upon need and attendance:
Monday Evenings 7:30 PM General Training (all ranks)
Wednesday Evenings 7:00 PM Foundation Class (all ranks welcome)
Friday Evenings 7:30 PM General Training (all ranks)
Saturday Mornings 11:00 AM General Training (all ranks)
