SUNTREE DOJO PHILOSOPHY

  • Our Goal:  To distinquish ourselves in our community in Martial Arts instruction by teaching respect, integrity, service, teamwork and personal responsibility, thus producing community leaders.  

  • Our Vision:  As we teach children and adults, we do so keeping in mind that we are not only training them physically, but we are training their minds as well.  Perhaps the most valuable result is the confidence and positive attitude that each student develops through traditional Japanese martial arts.  It is not as much about being able to beat others but, rather, about developing an unbeatable spirit.  Earning a black belt is a great accomplishment in the life of a young person and for an adult student as well.  This path of accomplishment in our dojo establishes in each individual the knowledge that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to do.  There is not a more valuable lesson to be taught at any age.  The result: A positive attitude that lasts a lifetime.  The student's sense of accomplishment, self-discipline, confidence and friendships made will also last a lifetime. 

  • Our MottoHard work pays off!

 

 

 

 

 

Suntree Dojo was founded by Shihan John Newton in 1998 with the first classes held at Pro Health and Fitness Center in Melbourne, FL.  This class is still active today and continues to grow.  In addition to the program at Pro Health & Fitness Center, we now have a location Beachside (in Satellite Beach)  and our newest location on Harbor City Blvd. (US-1) between the two Melbourne Causeways, next to Del's Freeze.  While this latest location houses our classes for children, we offer adult classes well.
