How to find a Dojo?

Author	Comments
Vicco Spectator 8 posts	Sunday 7th October 2007 at 01:55 I live in Dunedin FL and I cannot find one single Dojo that teaches traditional Jujitsu. Found two that teach BJJ. Am I not looking in the right places? My other concern is that if I do manage to find one single traditional Dojo, it may end up being one of those "McDojos" which would be terrible. How do I find a Dojo in my area?

How exactly do I walk into a Dojo and check it out when A) I don't know where the Dojo is B) I've yet to find out if Dojo even exists It seems theirs a huge following for BJJ here but I can't find jack for traditional Jujitsu.

Nearly all Senseis/coaches allow people to watch the class first so you can see if it is the style for you. The info you seek is there at your fingertips. Work hard, train hard, play hard.
