The Gi Yu Dojo is a traditional Japanese martial arts school with specific focus in the Koryu Arts and Kobudo. Our school is located in Centerville, Ohio, and we offer classes for adults and children with strict emphasis on personal growth, physical fitness, and discipline. We have built a family of students and we are proud of the high standard we have established for all those who train in our schools.
Through martial arts, we strive for continuous improvement in mind, spirit, and body. I have been impressed from my very first day with Sandhu's determination to create a caring community of fellow learners, fellow teachers, and supporters of one another's aspirations.

Services
The Gi Yu Dojo has had many different names through the years. Through these many phases, the dojo's main philosophies have never changed. Drill the basics over and over and make them second nature to your body. Develop students who are not just great warriors, but leaders with even better characters.
Chuck's training began in 2001 with basic Aikido and Aikijutsu and progressed into training with the Jinenkan Organization where he achieved the rank of Ni Dan. Chuck has his Master's Degree in Accounting and proudly served in the Army National Guard where he provided relief during Hurricane Katrina and was deployed during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
If you discover you like the ideals, no nonsense training, and character of the GiYu Dojo and would like to be able to proudly hold a rank from The GiYu Dojo then we would encourage you to come train with us directly at our facility (Dayton, OH.) or come to as many workshops as possible held around the world.
Adult classes are conducted in a classical Japanese format where we focus on developing martial skills in Koryu and Kobudo. Each class is taught in a non-competitive, relaxed and friendly manner. However, classes can be physically and (sometimes) emotionally demanding. Like all Koryu Arts, the lineages studied at the Gi Yu dojo have been directly passed down from teacher to student through regular hands on practice.
You are more than welcome to bring your family and watch one of our many children's martial arts classes. If you have questions or are interested in enrolling your child into the GiYu Dojo please. We have a thriving children's program here at the Gi Yu Dojo that encompasses varying ages (between 5 and 15) and training levels.

I have been training here for about 7 months now and I could not be more impressed! Sensei Sukh and all the black belt members are so knowledgeable, helpful and committed.The lessons I have learned in this short time go far beyond the physical training, which by the way is no joke. You will discover and learn so many things about your self which inevitably make you a better person not only for yourself but also for your family, community, and friends. Don’t mis out on a positively life changing opportunity like this!

If you want a place where you will learn skills that will make you better in all aspects or your life, then this might be the place for you. Here you will find a group of people that are striving for more. Combat martial art, fun, get in shape, feel great, build confidence, meet great people, be involved, learn new skills, learn from a great teacher, defend yourself and your loved ones. These are things you get at this dojo.
I encourage you to learn more.

Do you remember, as a child/teenager, spending your Saturday mornings watching martial arts movies, playing and dreaming of being a warrior studying a secret martial art?
Although, you are an adult now and you know that martial arts is about hard work and perseverance, wouldn't it be great to be able to study a martial art that makes you better as you get older?
Well, guess what. You can!
The Giyu Dojo is AWESOME!
If you are willing to hold yourself responsible for your own progress and learning and if you have the desire to study and train in a complete martial art, then come on in and watch

I have been training at the Gi Yu Dojo for over 6 years. Like many others have said, this is a learning experience for those who want to grow. Beyond the training, we are a community of martial artists who all have different life perspectives. If I could do it all over again, I would have started earlier...

I started training here four years ago. I was looking to really challenge my mind,body,and spirit. Sukh Sensie and the black belts are a true inspiration of what dedication and focus can do for you. I have become a better person father and husband also. Most of all it has shown me what there is nothing in life that I can't do as long as you put in the hard work and dedication.
