What they say about us
Great dojo, Great instructors. I got to know Don Sharp sensei and other instructors in this dojo a few years back and I had the opportunity to train with them for several sessions. As a dojo instructor, I have to say that I was very impressed with their quality of students and the quality of their program. Their level of technical ability is excellent. Keep up the great work, Don Sharp sensei!
