Classes

Sierra Dojo offers a number of classes to fit your schedule and area of interest. We focus on the individual student, so student-to-teacher ratios remain small. Students get one-on-one time with the instructors on a regular basis, so they can truly understand and apply the principles they are learning.

Karate Kids

For ages 8 - 12, this program is a structured format for kids to learn self-discipline and is an excellent introduction to martial arts training.

An art with roots in Japan, it includes both hard and soft techniques. Punching, kicking, throws, takedowns, and jointlocks are part of the curriculum.

Isshin-Ryu Karate
