Snyder Dojo, located in Kalamazoo MI, builds a stronger person. The classes are among the safest available because of a fundamental focus on injury prevention. The first thing learned is how to fall without getting hurt. This is practiced in every class. Also, good core strength will develop because most techniques use rotational motion and twisting. Not only do you have to control your own body, but you have to control that of an opponent/partner. This will improve balance and strengthen support muscles. In addition to the physical aspect, our classes also build mental strength. Confidence comes from accomplishment and the ability to defend yourself. And yes, it's fun too.
