Gaman Dojo 我慢道場 Non-competitive, adult classes in CLE, OH:
🥋 Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu
🥋 Kukamishin Ryu
🥋 Aikido

As a private noncompetitive martial arts school, the Bujinkan Gaman Dojo is dedicated to functional and traditional philosophies. Our team works with members to develop and enhance skills that enrich the modern lifestyle through mentally and physically demanding training protocols. With a student base located throughout the Greater Cleveland Metro area, we are located in an easily accessible studio in Cleveland, Ohio. Classes with our instructors are currently being offered on a private basis five days a week. Topics vary from body mechanics and mobility, unarmed combative techniques, and weapons work with wooden training swords, bo staff, and shuriken. Practicing these methods requires body movements paired with concentration and proper breathing. The goal is to cultivate the body by strengthening the muscles and improving mental capabilities. All students must complete an application and briefly meet with our instructor before attending or sitting in on their first class. Only one-on-one private lessons are available for the safety and health of our members and instructor. Please contact us as far ahead as possible to better accommodate your schedule with ours.

Meditation before training helps us separate from the rest of the day and fully focus on the mat and our actions. It is an individualized practice that can be as simple as breathing awareness. Be present, be intentional, and stay curious. Gambatte.

🥋"But I can't train if I don't have a uniform" Says who?! Unfortunately, if you are required to use this training in daily life, you won't be wearing a uniform then, either. Don't delay your training just because of some pants and a jacket. Speak with your instructor about appropriate alternatives that you can safely wear during training until you can acquire a uniform. You'll be surprised how many of them will prioritize your practice time over your wardrobe.

Finding a position where you have options (while your opponent is limited) helps keeps you safe and saves energy to better assess the situation. Arm bars are a favorite at our dojo and allow for control of that limb and, when done well, the core, too.

Part of a beginner's journey is conditioning their body to better leap, move, and tumble. Fancy tricks and flourishes fall apart without the strength to move confidently and the stamina to endure.

Our foundations classes introduce weapons-work slowly with solo handling, partner drills, and kata. The repetition builds muscle memory so that motions feel smooth and natural. ⚔

Demonstrations or explanations? Por qué no los dos? Part of what makes Dustin's time in Cleveland so memorable is how he gives time for the attendees to witness techniques from multiple angles, uses sound and visual cues to draw attention to important points, and encourages reflection at the end of each day.

Pouring through notes and reference books to better connection the people, places, and techniques that make up our arts. Nothing exists in a vacuum, so seeing how they all relate can help deepen our understanding during training. 📚✍
