The word Dojo means school or place of learning in Japanese. More specifically it means "The Place of The Way", so it is a place for learning the path of the art form: the philosophy, the training of the heart and mind as well as the actual technique of how to play.
With natural wood flooring, under-floor heating, and mirrored walls, and with a vast range of taiko drums & percussion, top quality instruments imported especially from Japan, the Dojo provides the ideal environment for learning this ancient discipline.
​
Workshops range from accessible introductory workshops right through to professional training, see below.
