Welcome to the Takagashira Dojo
The Takagashira Dojo (鷹頭 道場) takes its name from the Cumbrian Lake District village of Hawkshead where it was first opened (Takagashira means Hawkshead in Japanese). The dojo was founded on 3rd September 2008 in Hawkshead by Mike Haft Sensei and relocated to a venue in Windermere the following year. The dojo moved to Kendal Leisure Centre in June 2016, and then to its current location in the Kendal Judo Dojo in August 2017.
THE TAKAGASHIRA DOJO CLOSED DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPLORING WAYS TO RE-OPEN IT.
