Windsong Dojo is proud to be a part of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Twelve Winds Foundation. 

As a nonprofit organization, we can focus on the teaching and passing along of true, principle-centered budo. 

Our Mission

At Windsong Dojo we are committed to practices and traditions that are based firmly on the established Budo principles “Jita Kyoei” (you, me, shine together, i.e. mutual welfare and benefit), “Seiryoku Zenyo” (best use of energy, i.e. maximum efficiency with minimum effort). We teach arts that empower the body, awaken the mind, and enlighten the spirit. All Budo instruction offered at the dojo is given freely, passed on from teacher to student—not sold as a service or product.

The mission of Twelve Winds Foundation is to provide self-defense training and foster the development of martial arts for teens and adults in our community and beyond. Our goal is to spread the life-changing principles of budo to benefit people around the world. 

WE TEACH ARTS THAT EMPOWER THE BODY, AWAKEN THE MIND, AND ENLIGHTEN THE SPIRIT.

  • Improved health and vitality
  • Enhanced confidence and self-respect
  • A path towards life harmony

  • Friendship and a sense of community

With time, practice, and patience, we believe the budo arts will transform the lives of our students in the following ways:
