The primary purpose of The Dojo – Yamato Dojo Covington, is to help our students to become their best.
We believe in personal development through physical and mental and spiritual training. Our programs have been developed using sound, scientific principles of physiology and bio-mechanics to develop the body to its full potential, regardless of your level of fitness. Each of our movements originate through the core – the Hara – in order to maximize the effectiveness of the action and maintain balance. In this way, many of our students have found that our training becomes the foundation of movement resulting in enhanced performance in other sports and physical activities such as football, soccer, tennis, and dance. Our philosophy is to gradually and safely condition the body to maximize your personal potential. We want you to succeed in all your goals.
The mental edge developed through Martial Arts training applies in all areas of life. Discipline, achievement, focus, patience and perseverance are the cornerstones of our Martial Arts system.
On your way to Black Belt, you will learn the best practical applications of self defense and movement for the development of strength, flexibility and balance for a strong body and meditation techniques for a strong clear mind.
