Nervous about joining a Martial Arts Training Hall (Dojo)?

Don’t be, there are many people training in dojos who are just like you and I. Below you will find testimonials from young, elder, men, and women from all walks of life and backgrounds.

They found what they are looking for, and you too can have that feeling of fullfillment that you have been looking for just like these men and women. Let’s listen to what these people have to say:

Mark Carbonaro, age 21 said ” I first started training when my brother returned from Japan, that was about 6 years ago.  I had doubts that I could roll and jump around as well as perform the techniques like my brother. But after only two weeks of training, I realized that many things were possible. Not only did I learn how to roll and fall better, but I found the confindence that I was looking for.”

“ I highly recommend this art for everyone!”

“I have been training for almost two months now. Personal circumstances in my life made me interested in this kind of training. It makes me feel strong and confident. It takes dedication but if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Being a woman living in NYC, it is important to not only be able to defend myself but also my children. I have learned how to escape safely should I be put in harms way and how to protect myself with basic body movements. The training I have received so far makes all the difference in the world.”

“I would recommend this art to not only woman but anyone interested in martial arts.”  ~Liz from New York

“I am fortunate to have found the Tanuki Dojo and the Bujinkan Art. Training at Tanuki provides me with a set of physical, mental, and spirtual tools that are constantly excercised. “

“I am quite confident that I have finally found the personal growth opportunity I had been seeking.” ~Tas from Elizabeth NJ

” Conocí a Carbonaro Shihan durante un Seminario Keiko Kai, en Monterrey México. Inmediatamente cambió mi percepción y punto de vista acerca del entrenamiento en Budo Taijutsu.

Su énfasis en la etiqueta y entrenamiento correcto, recuerdan el entrenamiento en el Hombu Dojo, una especial sensación de estar entrenando en Japón.  Su entendimiento del idioma japonés es definitivamente un plus a su enseñanza. Ser entrenado por Carbonaro Shihan es una buena forma de recibir las enseñanzar del Soke Hatsumi.”

“Training with Carbonaro Shihan is a good way to receive Soke Hatsumi’s teaching.”

“I have been training at the Tanuki Dojo with Carbonaro Shihan since 2008.  It has been a wonderful experience.  It has been my boyhood dream to study this art and I am fortunate to have found the Tanuki Dojo.

Whenever entering the Tanuki dojo, I feel like I’m in Japan, at least for the time I spend in the dojo.”

“Carbonaro Shihan’s passion to keep and preserve the traditions he learned in Japan alive here in the States is the prime reason why I wanted to study Budo here, and is the same reason why I have never thought of leaving.”~Dave Zamora

“Throughout the years, I’ve searched for a martial art that would meet two criteria… first, I wanted to learn something I could readily apply to protecting myself and my family; second, I needed to find a sensei I could respect. My search ended with carbonaro Shihan and the Tanuki Dojo.”

“Since I began training in late 2008 with Carbonaro Shihan, I have not only learned techniques and discipline that will help me protect myself, but my body has grown much stronger. I started training with a body broken by past injuries and chronic health issues. A little over a year later, I can once again do things I never thought I’d do again.”

“I will be training in the Bujinkan for the rest of my life.”~kathy Zamora

“I have found that the training is not just based solely on technique, but on concepts as well. You can’t ever truly anticipate an opponent’s move; this has applied to me in business as well as just self-defense.

At Tanuki dojo I have learned how to defend myself, not just physically but in a mental way as well. I am put into a frame of mind where I learn to sense danger of any kind and avoid or address as appropriate.”

“I have found different solutions to various problems due to the conceptual mindset that training provides.”~Tony Serrata

“I have been training in the Bujinkan for the past 5 years now, and everday I am still learning new things. You can’t help but want to learn more and more.

I have now  been to Japan 3 times and  I continue  to visit Japan every year . Before joining who would’ve ever thought that I would be going to Japan.

When you experience the bujinkan world in Japan, you will then know what the bujinkan is truely about, and you will truely see how many different people from different countries train and want to learn just like you.

“I believe that if you want to do a martial art that will affect all areas of your life for the good, then please sign up and let the training begin”- Craig Brogna Shidoshi
