When I first came into Touyou no Chie I was a blown away by how affordable they were compared to other martial arts schools in the area. For the quality of training they offered they couldve easily charged double or even triple their asking price, but their focus has always been quality and affordability over profit. I felt at home right away once I started training, unlike other places I tried where it very much felt like I was an outsider. Definitely the best place to go for quality and affordable training.

Great place filled with friendly faces, top class instruction and some of the best local martial artists!

Ive been training here for years and its helped me so much! The instructors make a welcoming and friendly environment to train in and I love how well rounded their classes are. Their classes cover strikes, throws, groundwork and weapon defenses so it never gets old.

Been training Under sensei Derek for close to 5 years and his teaching methods are amazing, the atmosphere of the class makes it feel like a family. Everyone helps each other and encourages each other to practice and polish their skills while still having fun. Coming here is something you wont regret

Some time ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to learn a martial art. I said no a few times, but I eventually gave in. I knew after just one week that this was, without a doubt, the place for me. You will not find a friendlier, more relaxed evironment with possibly the most understanding mentors anywhere else. Its a place you can always return to no matter how many times you leave and come back.

Very knowledgeable instructors, they break down all of the techniques and moves in an understandable way. They teach for self-defense as well as for sport and show you how to modify techniques based on your bodys limitations if you have an injury or something. Very reasonably priced as well!

I came here weak and full of insecurities. When I was ready to leave I had skills trained into reflexes and the courage to carry my values and convictions into the world without fear or shame. Beyond detailed martial arts instruction youll find a solid group of friends who will always have your back, and support you to reach any goal no matter how lofty. Remember - you get what you give. So dont expect your life to change if you only come once a week! Hurry up and get to class!

Ive been training at with Toyou no Chie for almost 9 years now and I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else. Its perfect for anyone and fits any needs from exercise, self defense, or competitive training. Instructors are always hands and helpful. They train with you, rather than just talking at you.

From the two years I trained here, it was amazing. Environment is always welcoming. It was like you were family. Sensei Derek and the fellow dojo mates took the time to get to know you and if you needed help, you got it. Beginners always got an intro before going in and training. You were never thrown to sharks on your first day. I recommend Touyou No Chie for martial arts and self defense.

TNC has always been very friendly and welcoming. They’re always excited to see new people and there’s no shortage of things to learn. You can tell Sensei Derek and all the other instructors care as they work with everyone to make sure techniques are understood and answer any questions that come up.All in all, the environment is warm and welcoming and there’s always something to learn, regardless of experience or age.

I came into team TNC several years ago and was pleasantly surprised that they teach throws and takedowns in addition to groundwork, unlike a lot of jujitsu schools. The instructors and students were very friendly and welcoming, and were extremely patient with me and my lack if athletic ability. Definitely come here if youre looking for a fun and easy place to train and learn.

This is the type of place you want to go for true martial arts learning and growth. They are not just there to take your money, like many places ive encountered. Whether its a few students who show up or a totally full class, the instructors are present, vigilant and obviously love teaching. The positivity and energy is a blast. Very challenging and rewarding. Thanks TNC!!!

Best place Ive been to if you want to get in shape and learn self defense. Practical self defense combined with friendly and funny instructors make this the #1 place for me.

Great place to learn martial arts. The instructors are patient and very friendly. Very satisfied with their service. Thank you!

I’ve been training with Sensei Derek for 4 years now, and I still learn something new every class! They do a fabulous job adapting techniques and teaching styles for every student (e.g. working around injuries). Whether you are considering your first martial arts class or planning to train to compete in national competitions, this is a great place to train.

Sensei Derek knows his stuff not only as a martial artist, but also a teacher. Being a good martial artist is impressive, more so when you can teach it to others. Sensei Derek is capable of both.

Talented professional who teaches with heart. His enthusiasm is contagious and brings out the best in his students.

Great family friendly place and if youre struggling with learning anything theres always someone willing to help you and the students are always happy its like youre a family soon as you walk in

I’ve been training with TNC for over 8 years and every moment has been a fun experience. I’m not just talking about learning all the sorts of different ways to defend, myself but also learning about my own self and my growing physical capabilities. Every class I learn I can do more than what I thought I could the day before. Out of many martial arts places to train TNC dojo is one of the most affordable and has a schedule that allows me to still train even with a 9-5 work schedule. Not to mentions the rates are hard to beat.

Great place to get your martial arts going. Instructors are the best!

Im not at all gifted athletically, but coming here not only helped me get in shape, but also learned some really good self defense. I lost over 30lbs and the environment was incredibly welcoming, and made me feel right at home.

Great atmosphere, super supportive and knowledgeable Senseis and Senpais, and super affordable. Well grounded and very respectful. 😊

Youre not going to be disappointed by this Dojo. Im not a Jujitsu or Aikido practitioner but after one visit I spent 3 years training here. The students and Sensei are all very welcoming and eager to help you progress. Their skill level is impressive.Sensei Baure is invested in his students progress most of all, both mentally and physically. Calm and firm, he is the ideal teacher. I was in a rough place in my life when I started coming to TNC. I found myself, and an amazing group of people in the process.

A few years ago Ive been wanting to get back into martial arts but I couldnt decide what I wanted to do. A friend of mine brought me to this dojo and I couldnt ask for a better dojo family. This dojo is so welcoming and supportive I dont think I would be where I am today if my friend didnt invite me to train. Sensei Derek is an amazing instructor and very knowledgeable. I feel he goes above and beyond to help his students when theyre struggling in class.I definitely recommend this dojo if youre looking for a fun and inviting atmosphere!

Ive been training here for about two years. Sensei Derek Baure is a great teacher who has taught me a lot. Theres even fun outings planned for the dojo ohana sometimes!

Ive been fortunate enough to train with Sensei Derek and Sensei Greg for years. Both of them are fantastic instructions who take the time to help you improve your Jujitsu and Aikido!

The dojo is a good place to study traditional martial arts. Sensei Derek is an experienced martial artist who has competed within Jujitsu America and US Judo Association so if you’re looking to grapple in those circuits he is a great coach and connection to have in the martial arts inner circle. They teach Danzan Ryu Jujitsu and Aikido and are more technically sound compared to many gyms I’ve visited. He has been recognized with highest recognition within Jujitsu America as well. Hope ya’ll check him out.

I have been training at TNC for many years now and will Sensei Derek prior to that. The dojo feels like my second home and through my training has taught me strength and patience. I will always recommend TNC because you are treated like family, not just another student

Wonderful, welcoming academy. Thank you for all your help, Sensei Derek!

Two thumbs up for the quality of training you get here. From individualized workouts to fully diverse classes they offer world class instruction. Sensei Derek was voted 2017 Instructor of the Year! Plus you add Senpai Nick who was part of Team USA at the 2019 World Games, Senpai Lily 2016 National Self-Defense champion, and Sensei Greg 2016 National Jujitsu Kata champion. You get the some of the best quality martial art instruction at a low price.

Great Training, keeps my teens in focused...

I have been training in Aikido here for years and its one of the greatest experiences of my life.
