Robert Thomas, Sensei of the 570 Dojo.I have over 20 years experience in the Martial Arts, and have a third degree black belt in Shinko-Ryu Karate, under Jerry Rizzo Sensei. I teach situational awareness and essential self-defense. These are the elements of the lessons learned in the 570 Dojo. Where is the 570 Dojo? Primarily I travel to schools, business, and organizations to give their members the knowledge they need to stay safe, prepared and proactive in the world around them.The Dojo is wherever you need it to be. I do hold instruction at 418 Rear, S. Main Street, in Taylor, PA. |
There are three different courses that I teach:
- Women's Self-Defense - Essential Self Defense Techniques for Women
- Tsunami Self-Defense - A co-educational class featuring reality based martial arts
- Mushin-Do - The most traditional and formal course path. This belt-rank course delves into advanced techniques of self-defense and overall wellness. It is the way of reacting appropriately without thought.

On November 6, 2011, Sensei Robert Thomas performed a free demonstration of Tsunami Self Defense Techniques. He was aided by his Assistant Instructor, Shanta Lee, and by students from the Riverside School District--who are also students of Sensei Thomas. The event was held at the Taylor Community Center in Taylor, PA. Raffels were held to benefit the Women's Resource Center of Lackawanna County, and the event was geared particularly for women's self defense. WNEP 16 covered the event. Here is the news clip of their coverage. |
