Welcome!!

This blog will follow the Bellingham Academy of Self Defense Karate Dojo at 518 East Maple St., Bellingham WA.

Located in the Beautiful City of Bellingham, this dojo has been in operation for over 30 years by Sensei Duane Sammons and has continued to offer a variety of programs and classes for all ages.

First class is Free!! Come and see if this is the dojo for you!

Current Classes Include:

• Karate: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 7:30pm
• Jujitsu: Saturdays 1pm to 3pm and some Wednesday nights
• Weapons Training: Saturdays from 2pm to 4:30pm

On Saturday a black belt will be on the floor between 12 noon and 4:30pm for questions. Any student is welcome to show up and train whenever a black belt is present.

Again, first class is Free and anybody is more then welcome to show up and just watch, then try it out the next time. We do run though some daunting warmups but everybody is encouraged to do what they can, and not to over do it. It takes time to get into any sport or activity, and nobody expects you to be perfect.
