Came into town for a week to visit family and found Dojo1 to train at while I’m away from my usual gym. Len is very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I had a great time learning and rolling with a lot of new and kick-butt (but friendly) folks! I can’t wait to come back and get my butt handed to me again and again!

I joined Dojo 1 just about one year ago. I wished I had joined much sooner than that. You will not find a more knowledgeable staff in the area. If you are on the fence about joining DO IT.....LIKE TODAY GO DO IT!! I recommend Dojo 1 to anyone who will listen. I hope to see you there.

I'm 46 years old and I've been training at Dojo1 for nearly a decade. Len's instruction is the best. It's a great facility and my training partners are even better. Dojo1 has offered me a friendly learning environment and my young son trains with me as well. I would recommend dojo1 to anyone looking to train in the martial arts.

Absolutely amazing training facility. Having been involved in many wrestling clinics Over the years I can say without hesitation that the coaching here is second to none. Coach Len humbly provides outstanding technical instruction in a way that can be easily understood by students at various levels of experience. I have been training there for over two years and look forward to continuing my journey for years to come. If you enjoy learning in a team centered, respectful environment, then this is the place for you!
