Classes: Adults
 ADULT CLASSES are offered on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays with periodic beginner and specialty classes. Our large 3,000-square-foot studio includes a raised padded floor and ample off-street parking. A twenty-foot ceiling easily accomodates weapons training.
Beginners are welcome to start at any time.
Class content varies by class: target practice, heavy bag work, line drills and kata, a deliberate series of movement simulating attacks by imaginary opponents is practiced frequently. Free-sparring is practiced with protective equipment. Mat work teaches the vital skills of rolling and falling which enhance a student's versatility in self-defense situations. Advanced students are taught a variety of weapons: Short sticks (tambos) long sticks (bo), nunchakus, sai, tonfa and 3- segmented staff.

Becoming the Lotus
Emerging from the depths of a muddy swamp, the pure white lotus flower symbolizes enlightenment and rebirth. Playing a prominent role in creation stories in ancient Egypt and India, the flower is an apt choice for a school which emphasizes personal growth through learning martial movement.
From the darkest depth comes the purest of blooms, the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously. The lotus is a metaphor for the self-actualization made possible through study and discipline. This is the mission at Hoa Sen Dojo.
