Gainesville Dojo

Gainesville Dojo

Sifu Justin Och and crew traveled to the Gainesville Dojo on International Wing Chun Day.  A Dojo unlike any other Gainesville Florida Keith Teller, Hanshi Master, owner and operator had a vision and has made that vision a reality.  Keith Teller has created a place where Masters and practitioners can be found from all different systems under one roof.  Train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Choy Li Fut, Kickboxing, Wing Chun, Kung Fu, Kenpo, Taekwondo or Kali you decide who you pay and how often you want to train and in what system you want to Master.  Almost each system within this one gainesville dojo is taught by a seperate Master instructor in their field of martial art self defense.

Many Systems, one location

In my opinion you should always do a trial and check out as many systems and schools as you can before making a final decision on where you want to spend your years of training and dedication. Better to see and know that the school your in is exactly what you want before you join and dedicate a life time of passion. At the Gainesville Dojo you can explore multiple systems under one roof. Though many may find it unbelievable that they wouldn’t mind you trying, training and attempting several classes under several different Masters before dedicating yourself the Gainesville Dojo does exactly that.

Owner Keith Teller, Hanshi is a teacher by day and makes sure that everyone knows that even if you are training with him and feel as though switching to a different system would be better for you, he just wants you training. Since there are so many instructors under one roof you have a large variety of martial arts to pick from. Though my personal belief is that dedicating yourself, your time and effort should be a course not taken lightly.

If you find a system that fits your fighting style and methods stick with it, master it and become exceptional at it. Chasing and training under many systems at the same time can not only confuse you but also hinder your Mastery, reaction and understanding.

The Gainesville Dojo is an assortment of systems and masters but once you find one or two stick with those, gain and train with those instructors and really gain a hold on what they are wanting you to learn and use.
