Youth (Age 16+) & Adult Classes :

 

Learn authentic Japanese Budo: real world combat & self-defense skills, weapons proficiency, self discipline, heightened awareness, balance & coordination

 

Who This Is For:

Sente Dōjō’s teen, youth, and adult program is open to all fitness levels and experience backgrounds — from complete beginners to seasoned martial artists.   Classes are ideal for anyone seeking a calm, cooperative, and non-competitive environment that challenges both mind and body.

 

Training in Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu develops practical skills in posture, distance, and timing while improving focus, balance, and confidence.

​

What You’ll Gain:

​

• Improved balance, coordination, and awareness
   

• Real-world self-defense rooted in traditional budō principles
   

• Practical skills in distance, timing, and adaptability
   

• A stronger sense of self-confidence, discipline, and community
   

• Training rooted in authentic Japanese martial tradition

​

At Sente Dōjō, progress is shared — students work together to refine technique and awareness through mutual trust and respect.

“The goal is not to defeat others, but to overcome the self — to move with precision, awareness, and calm.”

​

Class Flow

• A typical class lasts about 1½ hours and follows a balanced structure designed for steady, mindful progress:

​

• Jūnan Taisō (柔軟体操) — stretching, breathing, and body awareness
   

• Ukemi (受身) — learning to fall, roll, and move safely
   

• Kihon (基本) — core techniques: striking, evasion, joint locks, and throws
   

• Lesson Focus — study of a principle, technique, or weapon drawn from one of the nine Bujinkan schools (ryū-ha)
   

• Integration — applying timing, distance, and awareness through cooperative partner work
   

• Reflection — a quiet moment to share insights, connect, and perhaps enjoy a cup of tea before returning to the world beyond the dojo
