What to expect
Scott Bourget - Owner/Instructor
Scott began his martial arts training in the 1980's, He trained for several years, and his passion for the art grew. He soon knew that he needed more out of the art than what he was getting. Realizing this, he searched abroad. Discovering a little Dojo in Noda Chiba, Japan, he found what he was looking for.
Scott travels to Japan frequently to train with Ishizuka Sensei and Kacem Zoughari. He also attends various seminars around the United States to further his studies.
Scott decided to open the Chikuri Dojo due to his passion to teach others the true essence of classical Japanese martial arts.
