Local, Friendly, and Safe

Soyokaze Dojo teaches martial arts right here in Madison Wisconsin
[110 North Gammon Road Madison, WI 53717] in a safe, friendly environment with students who are all eager to learn, just like you. There are no points in true self defense, so we never "fight" each other for sport; we train together seriously but safely to learn how to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

Authenticity

Soyokaze Dojo teaches complete martial arts systems, including Ninpo and Jujutsu techniques using the body, weapons, energy development, and meditation. These traditional Japanese arts have lived on through 2,000 years of lineage because the skills continue to be relevant and beneficial in every age.

Expertise

Brandt Sensei has been teaching since 1997 in the Milwaukee area and since 2009 in the Madison area, and has achieved advanced belts and masterships in six disciplines. His philosophy centers upon being a guide for his students, not just in imparting self defense techniques, but in inspiring students to develop their spirit.

Community

Joining us allows the student to develop a strong fellowship with others in the dojo, in an environment that cultivates a sense of community. What’s more, the student becomes a part of the worldwide Genbukan organization, dedicated to preserving the integrity of the traditions taught here.

Respect

Together, students not only learn and share deference for one another, but build self-respect as well. This enriches the collective learning experience, and inspires an attitude of reverence for the traditional arts.

Empowerment

Of the many personal benefits derived from practicing at Soyokaze Dojo, learning self-defense, discipline, and respect are the first to lead to feeling empowerment. Many students will find improved physical and mental balance and stability, and feel more confident in everyday life.
