From the reviews

Great training from highly skilled instructors! I visited from out of town and will 100% return every chance I get. Not only a great dojo to learn traditional Japanese Martial Arts but it’s filled with wonderful people.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Jan 2024

This is probably the most rewarding martial art I've trained in. It's frustrating, it's counterintuitive to other training methods I've used, and it takes some patience.

★★★★★ — Jeanette, Dec 2024

The best dojo around, good vibe good training good people. Michael is a patient and fantastic instructor he knows the art and will take his time to teach you . No matter the skill level you come from if you are ready to train he will teach you.

★★★★★ — Kristoper, Aug 2022

Joining Musei no Tora has been one of the most humbling and transformative experiences of my life. Every class challenges me…physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yes, I’m often sore. Yes, it’s frustrating at times. Yes, I’ve shed a tear or two.

Your first taekwondo class at Musei no Tora Bujinkan

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
