Ogi Dojo is a small dojo in Padstow , Sydney. We are dedicated to teaching real , effective martial arts thats applicable in every situation.
Traditional martial arts such as Taijutsu, Karate or Wing Chun often lack realistic stress testing and modern applications. Modern sports such as Boxing , MMA and Wrestling often lack the philosophy , insights and realism that exist outside of competition. More Combative arts such as Kali , Krav Maga and Keysi often lack discipline, conditioning and an understanding of other martial forms.
At Ogi we aim to create a balance point.
-Traditional Philosophy
Understanding history and the application of various forms , skills weaponry throughout history as well as the various ideologies of those that would utilize the skills.
Warriors should be both students of the sword and pen. (so to speak)
-Modern Application
We live in a society and cannot approach every situation with a "do or die" attitude, this will land you in prison. Sport forms of martial art utilize this concept well, but not perfectly.
Competition drives evolution and this is true for martial arts.
-Combative Nature
Learning how to fight only in the confines of a rigid sport structure will lead to weakness outside of the ring. Understanding the methods and tools of a bad actor and knowing how to utilize them is important for every person who takes their security seriously.
