The details are what I have built my reputation on. The Traditional Mixed Martial Arts Dojo is known for its realism and hard training. I opened my Dojo in Harrisonburg, VA in April of 1990.

We train in Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Aikido and Karate-jitsu as a system! My Japanese Sensei, Shogo Kuniba started developing this system back in the 70's. You could say he was the original MMA fighter. Kuniba, Soke (Soke, means head of the family), trained in these Martial Arts and knew that each one (Art) by themselves had a weakness so he combined them where they should be combined to make it a more complete system.

The above is the reason we are The Traditional Mixed Martial Arts Dojo. Traditional Japan Martial Arts combined into ONE SYSTEM! Jiu-jitsu, Judo, Aikido and Karate-jitsu as ONE COMPLETE SYSTEM!

Today, most MMA fighters (Mixed Martial Arts, i.e. UFC, WEC) learn Jiu-jitsu from one person, Judo from another, striking and kicking from two more and then the fighter has to put it all together. In this system you learn from one person teaching the whole system and because the system is principle based its easy for anyone to follow!

Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Michael Fletcher and I am the Sensei of the Traditional Mixed Martial Arts Dojo. The first meeting that I had with my instructor, Shogo Kuniba, Soke, was March 15, 1986. That was the day my life would change forever. I had met a true Japanese Sensei; a living legend. I was able to train under him until July 14th, 1992, when he passed away.

This site is dedicated to my late Soke, Shogo Kuniba. My dojo is named in his honor. Kuniba, Soke had a reputation in Japan for his devastating kicks; his mawashi geri (roundhouse kick) would coil around your block as if a mighty snake were striking, and his foot would hit its target with "no trouble". His nickname was Snake Foot or, in Japanese, Hebi (Snake) Ashi (Foot).

My hope is that you will appreciate this site half as much as I enjoy speaking about Shogo Kuniba, Soke!
