What we’re about

Welcome to Traditional Japanese Martial Arts – Daitō-ryū of Cedar Rapids.

We are a traditional Japanese martial arts dojo dedicated to preserving and practicing one of Japan’s classical systems of training. Unlike modern competitive sports, this practice emphasizes discipline, control, and respect. Techniques focus on balance, timing, and precise joint manipulation — skills that build awareness, confidence, and composure.

Our dojo offers a supportive and respectful environment for adults (16+) who want to challenge themselves, improve focus, and experience the benefits of structured training.

Classes are held three times a week:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Class Schedule:

  • 6:30 PM – Arrive, change, and warm up
  • 7:00 PM – Bow in and begin training promptly
  • 8:30 PM – Training concludes
  • 9:00 PM – Dojo closed

Your first class is always free — come and experience what traditional martial arts training can do for you.
