Our Teaching Approach

While American Dojo does not teach eastern philosophy, the curriculum taught focuses on building positive character traits and developing leadership qualities. "For the students, Black Belt becomes symbolic of excellence not only in Martial Arts, but in all areas of life", says Dean Konley, 5th Degree Black Belt and Chief Master Instructor at American Dojo.

What our Homeschool Parents are saying:

American Dojo has been a wonderful asset to our homeschool program. It has been a hassle free way for us to fulfill the physical education needs of our children in a manner that they enjoy together, as well as with other children. More important that the flexibility and strength our children have developed, they have gained confidence, focus, and self-discipline to a greater degree than they otherwise would have. Master Konley, Miss Sylvester, and the rest of the staff have a genuine love for the children, as well as for martial arts. We would highly recommend American Dojo to other homeschoolers!

American Dojo has had a very positive effect on our entire family. As parents we have, and still are enjoying the transformation we see in our kids. Previously we had spent years driving our kids from sporting event to sporting event, only to watch them warm up the bench for others. Their efforts would go unnoticed and it took a toll on their self-esteem. Taekwondo has had the opposite effect. They now have a great deal self-esteem; they respect others, make eye contact, and are focused.

American Dojo and the instructors have given my son and me a place to grow together. Being a single mom means spending quality time with my son is very important. Together, we have been taking classes at American Dojo. Being a part of the American Dojo family has been a big part of our lives - helping John, my Son, with focus in school and interaction with friends, while helping me get the exercise and stress-reduction I don't have time for during a normal day.

Trish & John

My son started classes just last fall, and I have already seen a big difference in him. He uses the life lessons that he learns all the time. Just the other day his uncle and I were discussing an event, and my son identified the situation as poor sportsmanship, applying what he had learned that month at the Dojo. I have also noticed a difference in his overall atitude and my approach with him as a parent. we are pleased with the choice we made when we signed him up and can't wait until his little brother is old enough to join.

About American Dojo

American Dojo was founded in 1994 and is owned and operated by the Konley Family (WAH members). As a second generation homeschool family, the Konleys have been a part of the homeschooling movement since 1985 when Virginia (mom) began 2nd grade as a homeschool student. Now in her 5th year as a homeschooling mom, Virginia enjoys the educational benefits of martial arts for her own children ages 9 & 6. "Martial Arts is such a wonderful combination of creative art form and physical discipline, the benefits are broad, and it compliments my philosophy of education", says Virginia, who is a 2nd degree black belt and mother of 3.

Dean and Virginia share a passion for martial arts and homeschooling. They, along with the American Dojo staff, are excited to offer this new opportunity for homeschool families during the '07-'08 school year.
