Dojo USA World Training Center

Nov 2023

Peter has been doing this his whole life. I attended his and Mr. Jo's classes for almost ten years through the 90's until I had to move away from the area. He is a terrific instructor. There was always a great mix of striking, attention to detail to technique, self defense and light grappling. The confidence, strength and hyper mobility from training here long term cannot be understated. Training here I was in the best health of my life. I'd recommend this school to all my friends in any age group.

I want to thank Mr. Johnson and everyone at Dojo USA San Bruno. We started training just before Covid hit and we went into distant learning with online classes. We started in person classes last year and I see a huge difference in Aarav’s focus. We were struggling in the beginning with the curriculum and now I see a huge difference in Aarav’s training. Aarav joined the Black Belt this year as well. He performed Bo Kata 2 at his end of school year talent show as well. I was super excited to see him perform in front of his classmates.I will highly recommend Dojo USA.

This school has made such a positive impact on not only my outlook on life, but also improved my physical capabilities and confidence in challenging life situations. I've been a student for 8 years and I can say this Dojo has helped me build an athletic body and conditioned my mind to reach my most confident mentally balanced days of my life especially during difficult situations. As years of training here continue, I still learn something new and am fascinated in how Sensei Johnson connects the physical lessons in class with non-physical everyday challenges. I've been to several martial arts schools and I find this one fits my needs the best. Shopping for a school can be daunting but know that here you will find the instructors pay close attention to proper technique to avoid injury and deliver efficient strikes, provide ample safety gear, teach with positive reinforcement, and are family friendly. Sparring does not start until the student has learned proper technique for basic self-defense, which reduces risk of injury. We're all working adults and learning students, the last thing we want is a broken nose or sprained ankle. Other schools I've attended had students start sparring after 2 weeks of enrollment and I ended up going home with bruises, unlearned technique, and apprehension to return. It's not like that here. If you're focus is to become a street fighter, this is not the place to be. If you want to become the best version of yourself in mind, body, and spirit, this is the place to go. Martial Arts training is not a sprint, but a marathon and a way of life. The best lessons are learned over time and experience, so trust the long term goal and process. You can be so much more than you think you can and this school made me realize that about myself.
