Welcome to Kokoro Martial Arts, where tradition meets innovation! At Kokoro Martial Arts, every student is empowered to grow in mind, body, and spirit. With over three decades of experience in teaching martial arts, Kokoro Martial Arts is proud to bring our dojo’s unique approach to Wausau, WI. Our new location, now open, offers high-quality martial arts training to adults. Kids classes will be starting soon as well.
Dojo Classes
As we launch our dojo, or school, we are beginning with adult classes, providing comprehensive programs in American Kenpo, Yoshin-Ryu Jiu-Jitsu, and Tai Chi/QiGong. Kids’ classes will be starting up in the near future. These classes give young students the opportunity to develop confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills in a supportive and engaging environment. We have a great kids curriculum, which includes a fun approach with each belt represented by one of the traditional Chinese Animals. Each belt rank also includes character building, anti-abduction, and anti-bully techniques.
Dojo Philosophy
At Kokoro Martial Arts Dojo, our philosophy is rooted in the principles of self-defense and learning how to protect yourself and those you love. This focus applies to all our programs, regardless of age or experience level. Our goal is to equip every student with the tools they need to feel confident, safe, and empowered in any situation.
At Kokoro Martial Arts, our teaching methodology goes beyond just the physical techniques. It embraces the Seven Virtues of the Samurai as a guide for personal growth and character development. Through training, students cultivate these virtues both on and off the mat. These timeless principles shape our approach, helping students build strength and skill. They also form a foundation to lead disciplined and fulfilling lives.
Dojo Community
We are proud to be an inclusive community dojo, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and walks of life. At Kokoro Martial Arts, we do not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, orientation, or any other characteristic. Everyone is welcome to train and grow with us.
Join us at Kokoro Martial Arts and become part of a martial arts family that values respect, integrity, and personal excellence. Stay tuned for updates on our grand opening and class schedules—we can’t wait to meet you!
