SADOHANA DOJO TESTIMONIALS

"My life has changed considerably for the better since starting my training at Sadohana six years ago.  Not only has the JuJutsu training helped me immensely in my career as a professional trainer for security personnel, but it has also done wonders for what was chronic back pain several years ago.  The nature of the training has been very therapeutic for what is now a non existent problem.  The training has also been a key component in managing my day to day stress levels as I find the method of training very meditative yet extremely effective"

Dean Barnes, - Manager and Business Owner

"It's a rare combination to find someone who is technically proficient in an art yet able to teach it in a clear and engaging manner, but in master instructor Shihan Michael Seamark, we have both. If you are looking for effective and humane self-defense as well as an opportunity to learn how to take care of your health through KoKoDo JuJutsu & Shiatsu, I highly recommend Sadohana Dojo."

 Avery Yackel, B.A.Sc., R.TCM.P. - Acupuncture & MoxIbustion & Shiatsu Massage

"Training with Seamark Shihan at Sadohana has been one of the most defining experiences of my life.  KOKODO JUJUTSU is a beautiful, effective, and amazing art.  Seamark Shihan is a very inspiring individual, and has made the entire experience very rewarding.  Training at Sadohana has given me the chance to learn an amazing martial art.   Through training under Seamark Shihan I have witnessed first hand the incredible benefits and success that a lifetime of dedication and focus to your passion can bring to all aspects of your life."

Chris Stone - Federal Law Enforcement Officer

"I would highly recommend Sadohana Dojo and Kokodo JuJutsu for individuals considering law enforcement, learning self defense or learning traditional Japanese JuJutsu. Kokodo JuJutsu founded by Soke Irie Yasuhiro is the art taught at Sadohana Dojo by Shihan Michael Seamark and it emphasizes joint manipulation, throws, and pressure points for self defense. Shihan Michael Seamark’s teaching is comprehensible and he always approaches teaching in a positive manner. This method of teaching doesn’t defeat the student’s self esteem or confidence but reinforces it thus allowing the student to learn and absorb the material in a positive environment. Through the time spent at Sadohana Dojo under Shihan Michael Seamark’s teaching I found I have more self-confidence in my workplace environment as a security officer for special events."

 Lucky Sivagurunathan, - AST certified security officer

“Michael Seamark is a dynamic instructor with a great depth of knowledge. The Kokodo style, with its systematic training syllabus has the benefit of providing structure to JuJutsu and training that I have not found in too many other schools.  I am enjoying the process of learning in this system.”
