Thank you, Pat Parker, for your glowing review! "The folks at Shinju Dojo are absolutely top notch at what they do, which is to teach the traditional martial arts of aikido, judo, and jodo for automatic, reliable self-defense in a friendly, positive environment. I recall the first time I did randori (sparring) with Heather-sensei at a clinic in Houston sometime around 1997 or 1998. I think she was around 2nd degree black belt and I was around 3rd but I couldn't touch her! She slipped or redirected or otherwise just walked out of everything I tried to do to her. It was a very humbling and educational experience that I've meditated on for years. And Roy-sensei is not just chopped liver either!"  Congratulations, Jessica Hilliam, on your Shondan promotion! You are a wonderful instructor and we are very proud of your accomplishments!  Congratulations, Jess, on your Ikkyu promotion! You’re doing great and we’re proud of you!  Congratulations, Mizuki, on your sankyu promotion! We bow down to you!  Congratulations, Ryu, on your green belt promotion! You have been working hard and we are very proud of you!  Congratulations, Jess, on your Nikyu promotion! You'll get to black belt before you know it!
