NOTICE to all Recruits and Parents: Commencing May 1, 2013, a new method of recording class attendance will be in use. Recruits will use an electronic key pad to enter their personalized 4 digit PIN into a computer program called The Studio Organizer. If a Recruit fails to enter his/her PIN properly, he/she will not receive credit for the training hours required prior to testing for the next rank. Those Recruits failing to meet the necessary minimum and documented training hours will not be allowed to test. This shall apply to all ranks.
Great care has been taken to protect the privacy of all Recuits. This program, and all data, are NOT web-based. The program, and ALL data, is stored on the computer in the dojo. At no time is any of the data transferred to, or through, the internet. More information about the program can be found on The Studio Organizer web site. More detail about how Recruits will be required to use it are on this page in the Breifing Room about the use of this program.

Welcome to the Headquarters of the Samurai Cop Self-Defense Academy. The Academy offers classes in self-defense for kids ages 7 years to 17 years of age.
The goal of the Samurai Cop Academy is to provide practical self-defense training for the youth in our communities. The courses are designed to help increase the students self-confidence level while learning to arm themselves with the knowledge and personal skills needed to be better prepared to face a physical confrontation.
The following registration information applies to our Intermediate, Advanced and Black Belt Academy courses held at the Shuyokan Martial Arts Center.
