AFTERSCHOOL DOJO
What makes us unique?
Most Dojos offer programs that work on discipline, self-defense, confidence, and behavioral support. One Dojo is actually supported by instructors and curriculum design specialists who can vet these claims.
Coaches Wes and Belle provide a unique combination of experience from the military, police force, and educational psychology fields (see more here) that creates an environment where students of any needs or ability levels can find the scaffolding they need to succeed and overcome their personal difficulties. Their non-profit approach to providing this kind of instruction to everyone despite financial restrictions also makes One Dojo one of the most affordable martial arts and fitness schools in the DFW area.
