Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a dynamic martial art that offers numerous benefits, including getting in great shape, learning strong self-defense principles, and understanding how to defend and strike effectively. It is widely regarded as one of the best martial arts for self-defense, providing individuals with the confidence and skills to protect themselves in any situation.

At our studio, kickboxing classes are designed to provide a comprehensive training experience. Our expert instructors combine excellent conditioning programs with expert instruction, ensuring that you not only improve your physical fitness but also develop the necessary techniques and skills to excel in kickboxing.

During our classes, you will learn how to punch, kick, move, and train with ease. Our instructors will guide you through various drills and exercises, helping you to improve your technique, speed, and power. Additionally, our classes focus on developing your overall fitness, including strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Tai chi

Enveloped in the essence of tranquility and purposeful movement, our Tai Chi classes at SONO DOJO transcend mere exercise, offering a gateway to self-awareness and holistic well-being. Rooted in the principles of focus, controlled breathing, and profound attunement with the body, Tai Chi stands as a beacon of serenity amid the bustling chaos of modern existence.

At the heart of Tai Chi lies a profound synergy between physical exertion and mental clarity. Our classes artfully integrate the essence of traditional Chinese martial arts, guiding practitioners towards a heightened awareness of their inner and outer worlds. Through deliberate, flowing movements executed with poise and intention, participants embark on a transformative journey that transcends the boundaries of mere exercise.

Jiu Jitsu

If size was everything, the elephant would be the king of the jungle! Jiu jitsu is the practice of pressure, technique over size and expertly controlled aggression. Based on the grappling skills often required in armored combat in medieval Japan, Jiu jitsu is one of the most effective and practical martial arts.

Among the best martial arts for self defense, our students include law enforcement, military personnel and those seeking confidence in their ability to defend themselves and control their aggressors.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

If you want full body fitness and self-protection confidence, no matter the situation, then mixed martial arts classes are ideal for you. Using the principles designed by one of the most successful MMA teams in the world (American Top Team), our mixed martial arts classes incorporate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, striking and wrestling, with robust conditioning to make it all possible.

The program is based on learning how to defend yourself in every position. Whether fighting in the ring, or protecting yourself out in the world, you’ll be ready and fit.

Arnis/Kali stick fighting

This stick-fighting martial art helps promote footwork, focus and coordination. Developed and honed in the Philippines, Arnis/Kali is a great way to learn how to defend against attacks with blades and weapons as well as give you the ability to defend yourself with everyday items (keys, sticks or even a magazine). Master Nick also teaches this class with a focus on machetes, so you can always be confident about using weapons to your advantage even in the most dangerous of situations and has integrated this with self defense for both the police and private individuals.

If you are prepared to improvise, adapt and overcome, regardless of the situation, you can live without fear and anxiety, making this one of our most interesting martial arts classes to join.

Weapons training

Learning how to strike and grapple is incredibly useful, but there are times when you could be faced with a threat from a weapon. In these situations, knowing how to react, how to move and how to minimize risk is vital.

From gun-handling to how to react to knife attacks, our weapon-based martial art styles will show you how to defend yourself in a wide variety of scenarios and situations.

Children’s classes

In today's fast-paced world, the journey of childhood is often fraught with challenges that test the very fabric of values and resilience. At SONO DOJO, our children's martial arts program serves as a nurturing crucible, forging an unwavering foundation rooted in integrity, respect, and perseverance—values that are often elusive in the modern milieu.

The bedrock of our program lies in instilling these timeless principles within the young minds that grace our dojo. As children navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving society, we aim to imbue them with the moral compass necessary to navigate life's twists and turns. Integrity becomes their guiding star, respect for themselves and others their cornerstone, and perseverance their unwavering companion in the pursuit of excellence.

Beyond the physical aspects, our martial arts curriculum imparts essential life skills that extend far beyond the confines of self-defense. We emphasize the art of winning with humility and losing with grace—a testament to character development that transcends the confines of competition. Through this, children not only learn to navigate victories and setbacks in martial arts but also in the broader landscape of life.

An essential facet of our program is empowering children with the resilience and fortitude to combat bullying. Our training cultivates personalities that exude confidence, assertiveness, and empathy, rendering them resilient to the scourge of bullying while fostering an environment of inclusivity and understanding.
