With the upcoming political changes in the US, we at Japanese Fighting Arts NW need to be explicit that we are a safe space for all races, genders, ages, and sexual orientations. We will not tolerate intolerance, and we promise you will not find a more welcoming space to train. In-person community is going to be more important than ever in the coming years and we welcome you to join our small group. All humans deserve safety and respect especially in the face of ignorance, prejudice, and oppression.
