A Dojo is a place of learning. It is special and should be treated with respect and courtesy, as all places of learning and education should. In Japanese, the word 'Dojo' refers to a 'place to study the way'.
At Yamagawa Budo, we take the meaning of the word literally, and in it's traditional sense. It is a place of enlightenment of sorts - of the physical, mental and spiritual kind. We follow traditional Japanese etiquette, following the Ways of the Warrior.
