“My daughter and I have been attending Harai Dojo for a few years now. It's always been very welcoming and like a big family. We have met so many new friends here and learned so many new things. The senseis are always there for you if you have questions. They also have different classes with different instructors who have a variety of skills and quirks. There's plenty of classes for mat time. Wouldn't hurt to add, it definitely helps to know multiple ways to choke and throw someone!”

“I grew up in martial arts and took classes in several styles and schools in different states and this is a very well run dojo. All 3 of my boys are enrolled and there is a family atmosphere, the senseis and coaches are patient and kind, and they foster an atmosphere of respect and discipline. Highest recommendation!”

“This is a great learning environment that is very welcoming. The moment you walk in the door on your first visit, you'll feel like part of the team. If you are interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Judo, you must check out this dojo. My family went to one class and my daughter and I signed up before we left, it was so much fun! A couple of months later, my wife signed up too. Now we are telling all of our friends about this place! My family has been training here for a few years now and we'll continue to do so for as long as it's around.”

“As a somewhat of a beginner, I was intimidated starting at a new gym. I’m not able to attend very often but when I do, I always feel welcome. It has a nice “family” feel to it!”
