As a traditional Japanese dojo AYNSW provides a warm and welcoming environment. Traditional approaches to martial arts training are upheld. Naturally there is a reason for everything that is practiced and Darren Shihan is always happy to explain not just the “how” to do but also the reasons “why” we train this way.
