Dear Customers,

Thanks to you... after 9 years... Loco Dojo is now a fully-integrated training environment supporting self defense, mixed martial arts and fitness for all ages.

Our teaching emphasizes; character development, discipline with compassion, humility in defeat, restraint in victory, control over force, and training as a means of cultivating coherence — not only in combat, but in life.

Many of our students grew up at Loco Dojo. Many created lifelong friendships, community and memories. Some students train more frequently and some students take breaks and come back years later... sometimes with family and friends to start their own self defense and MMA journey. Some students do well in tournaments and we are proud to create champions.

Despite risk of being targeted physically and socially, Loco Dojo is a sanctuary for victims of bullying and domestic violence.

Moreover, people from different experiences and walks of life find strength and purpose at Loco Dojo.

Loco Dojo is blessed with wonderful, rewarding and priceless experiences.

Today Loco Dojo...

... is still recovering from pandemics, lockdowns and gym shutdowns.
... suffers loss of customers with physical and mental health challenges.
... continuously trims expenses while paying for rent increases and inflation.
... sacrifices revenue in order to maintain affordable and flexible memberships.

Despite costly challenges, Loco Dojo creates fun, new classes and member offerings.
Loco Dojo maintains integrity with quality coaching, instruction and innovative training.
We never sold out... but Sensei sacrificed house, personal property, vehicles and savings.

... We Need Help...
... with a rainy day health emergency budget.
... continuing serving, providing community and mentoring.
... acquiring new students, marketing and promoting Loco Dojo.
... keeping up with rent ($2800/mo) and overhead costs ($250/mo).

If you are fortunate enough,
 please help us recover and prepare
by donating to Loco Dojo.

Thank you for your continued business, consideration and support.
Please share Loco Dojo with your friends and family.
I sincerely promise to continue giving you my all.
Gratefully At Your Service...
Sensei Dan
