Dojo Exercises Overview

These exercises are great in many ways. One of the benefits is that there is no need for purchasing expensive gym equipment.  More importantly, these exercises are purely functional since athletic performance is about moving our own body weight.

All suggested exercises can be done in the dojo (with a partner) and no weights (just body weight).
