What to expect at Nanatokan
Independent gyms vary widely — the head coach's personal obsessions usually define the room. The strongest indies often produce deeper technique than affiliate gyms because the lead instructor is teaching what they're personally chasing.
A note on this profile
This page is a public-source profile of Nanatokan. I haven't visited yet — when I do, this page will be updated with first-person notes on the roll, the room, the coaching style, the kids program (one of my kids may come along when we start scouting where they'll begin), and the drop-in process. If you're reading this and you run Nanatokan, I'd love to coordinate a visit.
