After years of searching for a lot to build the Corvallis dojo, we have not only purchased a lot in downtown Corvallis, but also planned and built a new dojo! The address is 535 NW 4th Street (near the corner of NW 4th and Polk Street). We are very excited to have officially begun training in our new space.
The Corvallis dojo building committee would like to thank all of you for your generous support of this project. The donations we received over the years, both large and small, will allow us to build a dojo that the Corvallis community will be proud of. This dojo will be a place where we can train for generations to come.
