From Stand-up self-defense to ground grappling, The Dojo is the best in non-sport martial arts.
What people are saying...
""I Did Tae Kwon Do and Aikido. Then I found this on teachable and realized how little I knew about Martial Arts."
- John Bigby - Boston, MA
I live in a small town, so I don't have any good schools near me except taekwondo sport. I found Sensei Norcross on YouTube in 2020 and connected with his teaching style. I joined the online dojo and it has changed my life. I have gotten more flexible. I also am leaning the sword with my bokken in my yard. Thank you Mr. Norcross and the other bb's at the dojo for giving me direction and strength."

"I've been training in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu since 1996 (although I'm not in the organization any longer).......I found your Youtube channel this week. Well sir, I love it. I've trained with so many high ranking shidoshi/shihan that don't have a clue. I'm a cop for 25 years and have only trained cops, corrections and military. You sir, have a great grasp on reality. You are able to show the original kata, and then show a very good understanding way of using the principles in a practical way. I've seen very few over the years that can do this. Your students are very fortunate."
- Phil Ryan (You Tube)
"I just joined the online dojo. I am a bit overwhelmed by all of the content. I am going through the level 1 earth basics now. It is going to take me a long time to master but I am determined to do it."
- Nick Chisolm - Garden Grove, C
So after 9 surgeries I was told my martial arts love was over with. I discovered your channel through my wife. She kept encouraging me not to give up.
AI went through a lot of physical therapy - better known as torture 101. I started training with the hanbo and a bo. I am watching your videos and being motivated by you. Sincerely, thank you so much!
- Keith Westmoreland
"I love the sword courses. I am a novice padawan but I feel my skill growing everytime I practice with Sensei."
- Darian Johnson - Davie, Florida
"I am going to USC next semester and am worried about safety. I signed up and feel better now about my senses to danger. Thank you!"

"This channel needs at least one hundred thousand more subscribers.
Out of all the Ninjutsu/Taijutsu YouTube channels or videos on the internet this is by far the most effective-looking, educational and comprehensive schools I have seen out there.
Clear speaking, knowledgeable but also realistic in application.
No mystical or fake-looking techniques and down-to-earth instruction.
Education in the history and art too. I would sign up immediately if I could.
Shout out from the UK!"
- Phil of the Fist
"Sensei Ryotoshi Norcross. Thank you for all you have done. Your Finding Happiness voice has got me thru a very bad time in my life. I hope you don't mind me calling you "Sensei" sir. Hope to meet you one day in Ohio."
