The Ryokubi Dojo, Inc. is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization which provides Karate Programs to the community. The Dojo was established as a Karate school in 1999 by Joe-Joe Suozzi, the Chief Karate Instructor, and has been teaching Karate-do to numerous students in Stamford, CT.

Whereas the majority of students reside in Fairfield County, some students travel as far from Westchester County, NY and the Bronx.

There is a distinct need in today's "short attention-span" culture for programs that develop focus and physical fitness. Karate training goes beyond the mere physicality of sports activity, emphasizing the importance of respect, integrity and honor, while achieving perfection of movement and the self-development of character.

The Dojo has since introduced other programs, such as Tiger Cubs Program for younger children and Lion Spirit Program for children with special needs. It is also trying to establish a program for mature adults in order to better serve the community.
