Time & Location
Welcome to DO-JUNG-ISHU Art of Fighting! We train every Wednesday @5:45pm and Saturday @1:30pm. Every class runs for 1hr 30m. This is the Saturday listing. Currently, all classes are held outside in the field directly beside the rec center between the playground and horseshoe area. Look for the Black and Red Yin-Yang shirts! We are full-contact so please bring a mouthpiece, workout clothes, and WATER!!
Curriculum
Class curriculum changes depending on present attendees for that day. We aim for an individualized approach to teaching our students, but everyone can expect to learn fundamental techniques and their underlying concepts & further application for striking, defense, & grappling while standing, grounded, and the transitions between as we drill and spar week-by-week. Be it for Street defense, Sports fighting, or Fitness, everyone can benefit from attending our classes; no experience necessary, all skill levels of any discipline welcome! We learn from you, too!
Full-Contact
As stated before, we are a Full-Contact school, meaning you will hit others and you will get hit. All participants are instructed to adjust their intensity according to what their training partners ask for / what instructors feel is appropriate. You will build physical, mental, and cardiological resilience as your training progresses; if you are consistent. This is natures reward to you.
