Testimonials

Everyone is like family. You won’t find better teachers or people anywhere.

Tristan K.

The best place for budo, not just in OKC or even Oklahoma, but regionally. Nick Lowry sensei has something to offer everyone.

Neil M.

Richard P.

Home!!!

George S.

I came from a program where they really didn’t seem to want me.  When I walked into Windsong, I was greeted, my questions were answered, and I was welcomed to participate.  So, at Windsong: I was welcomed. I was included. I was accepted. I was instructed with patience. My progress was celebrated. I felt a balance of encouragement and challenge. No matter what age I reach, I will still be working on applications from what I learned at Windsong.

Danny V. - Oklahoma

I was quite surprised by the size and atmosphere of this Dojo. VERY friendly people to train with, especially Lowry Sensei himself. He always made sure we were comfortable, very hospitable, and made himself very accessible. I CAN’T wait to go there again!!! I highly recommend this Dojo for serious training.

I travel from Fl. to learn at this dojo, and will continue to do so.
