WELCOME TO ZENBU DOJO
​Martial Fusion training is a way of life that requires a unique commitment, discipline, and integrity. Zenbu Dojo is a temple for inner development, a sacred space dedicated to the practice of martial arts, healing arts, and meditation for adults above the age of 18. We are not a commercial training facility. Individuals seeking membership must keep this in mind.
MEMBERSHIP
​
The first step for a candidate seeking Zenbu Dojo membership and wishing to enter into a Sensei/Deshi (Teacher/Student) relationship is to apply for a trial membership in person during a visit to observe training.
