Continuing education & specialty workshops

We believe that knowledge comes from many different sources, so each month we bring in a special guest instructor to lead a 3-hour workshop. These are leading professionals from the martial arts, stage, and film communities that come to share their expertise. By bringing these experts to southeast Michigan, we make learning from other teachers and about different movement styles more accessible to the local community.
