Be on the lookout for Nigel the Ninja! We never know when he will arrive!

If you haven't met Nigel, let me introduce you to him. Nigel is a young ninja. Nigel watches for good techniques and maybe he can learn something too. Who else wonders what adventures he will bring to our dojo? Oh his favorite weapon is the foam nunchaku 🤗

Nigel can also be taken home with you ($11.99 - Includes a bonus Nigel printed drawstring backpack).

We will be closed Monday, September 5, 2022. Labor Day is to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.
