Shuhari Dojo

A great place to train. I was looking for a traditional dojo. The teachers at the Shuhari Dojo are knowledgeable and understands how the old techniques translate to modern self defense. It is great!

Incredibly kind and educated, even on illnesses many doctors are unfamiliar with, like POTS

This is an excellent school with a quality instructor. If you are looking for a family oriented dojo that puts students first, look no further. Some people run a dojo to make money, others just want to pass on the art and make the world a better place. This dojo is definitely the latter.

The sensei at Shuhari Dojo are talented martial artists who truly love teaching, and effectively incorporate the deeper philosophy of the Asian martial arts into their lessons in ways meaningful both to self-defense, and life in general. The art they teach is gentle and flowing -- easy on the body compared with many other fighting systems, yet powerful nonetheless. Though their training primarily emphasizes practical application in the modern-day, they don't neglect the ancient weapons (and let's face it: learning how to use weapons like swords and spears is just cool!).

I've trained with Shihan Petersmarck for a little over 5 years now. I am truly grateful to have had this opportunity. All of the instructors at the Shuhari Dojo take great care in teaching the art and passing valuable and useful knowledge down to their students. I feel a lot safer knowing that I train where the techniques are taught with a realistic approach. If you are looking to try a practical martial art with great instructors and a fun yet disciplined environment..look no further!

My son has been training with David for almost 5 years. I could not imagine him anywhere else! We love our dojo family!
