Our Dojo
Formerly the Musoshindenryu Iaido - Agassiz dojo over the years we've added additional programs of kendo and jodo and shortened our name to simply the "Agassiz Dojo."
We have a variety of experience levels in the dojo from unranked to dan ranks in all the styles that we're learning. Currently everyone trains together. As learners progress and start achieving higher ranks we may offer advanced classes as well.
No appointment is necessary to come to the dojo and view a class. We'll greet you and take some time to chat with you about our cirriculum and what you're looking for. It is preferred that you call or mail ahead to alert the instructor of your plan to visit.
