Experience

Multi-style budokan model rare in Eugene - kids can rotate Karate striking, Judo throws and Aikido joint-locks under one membership, which gives a fuller traditional martial arts foundation than single-discipline schools. Long-running (1988) institutional reputation in the Eugene area. Younger kids work on movement and basic stance; older kids progress through forms, throws and partner work on belt path.
