New Dates to be announced
Training Pillars
“Prepare for the storms of life by first facing the storms within!”
#1
Embodiment
In order to survive adversity, we must develop a body capable of withstanding the storms. We will perform the physical repetitions necessary to build a body prepared for any challenge. This includes a variety of martial arts exercises, stillness practices, and other activities to cultivate greater presence and awareness.
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
#2
Resilience
Leaders are only effective if we’re able to endure the inevitable challenges of a life well-lived. Cultivate your ability to endure hardship and embrace adversity by stepping forward into the crucible and challenging your mental, physical, and emotional resilience.
“The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.”
#3
Awareness
See yourself in the mirror of the men. Expose your blindspots by sitting in council, giving and receiving the most honest feedback you’ve ever experienced so that when you leave the Dojo, you know who you are.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, then you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”
#4
Action
Unfaced fear becomes doubt, and doubt kills the warrior. Broaden your skill set for taking action through martial arts practices, mental stillness exercises, and empowered action activities
“Cowardice leads to capture. Timidity prevents from advancing”

The Story
Origins
Taking the NEXT big risk in your career. Preparing to commit to a long-term relationship. Becoming a father and leading your family. ALL of these REAL-LIFE challenges (and more) are IMPOSSIBLE to avoid and impossible to prepare for without physical, mental, and emotional practice.
Podcasts, audiobooks, and virtual training can only get you so far in your preparation for adversity. You must BUILD A BODY that can withstand the storms of life, so that you are poised and ready whenever fear and doubt attempt to rob you of your focus and purpose.
But, how…?
ENTER THE DOJO
The word “Dojo” is Japanese in origin, and translates to “the place of the way”, or in other words, “the place of learning”. Originally created as training spaces designated for many of the Japanese arts, the Dojo has become a metaphorical reference for any space where training and personal development occurs. It is a space of Honor, Impeccability, and shaping of the “Beginner’s Mind”.

Over 20 combined years of experience in various martial arts, Men’s leadership training, and Personal Development feed into our version of “Dojo”: a place for men to cultivate a quiet mind, capable body, and balanced spirit to endure the rigors of a life well-lived.
How you show up in the “Dojo” is a DIRECT reflection of how you are showing up in your life…whether you know it or not. Most of us are operating blind. Unaware of how we show up and the ineffective patterns that affect our ability to build trust.
In Dojo, you will identify your ineffective patterns and tendencies WHILE equipping yourself with new tools to help you navigate adversity.
Are you ready for Dojo?
We designed this experience to bring value to ANY man, regardless of the circumstances and stakes he’s facing in his life. Whether you are a startup CEO, a hard-working father of 3, or a single man searching for purpose, the Dojo is a unique and valuable opportunity for you.
HOWEVER, only truly committed men will get the full value of this experience. The Dojo is not a hobbyist pit-stop on the personal development train. You WILL be pushed to your limits and challenged to bring more of yourself than you ever thought possible.
In completing this training, you can expect to be more prepared to:
- NFace off with your own self-doubt
- NRecover from significant loss and hardship in your life
- NOvercome financial uncertainty and instability
- NBreak through low self-confidence
- NMaintain poise and calm when others are breaking down emotionally
- NAssert your truth in personal and professional relationships with greater ease
- NIdentify AND pursue your highest purpose and fulfillment
Voices of Truth
“Don’t boast about your work – let the results be the proof of your doing.”
“Words cannot describe how powerful this experience was. I got to meet some incredible men. I got to be honest and clear about my vision. I got to be pushed to my edge with loving accountability. I was able to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and have men mirror back my blindspots. There’s nowhere else I would recommend to practice embodiment.”
“I said yes to Dojo because I wanted to train my mind, body, and spirit to become more resilient and capable in my life, for myself and those around me.
This time with Jeddy and Phil has helped shape me into the most disciplined and consistent version of myself that I’ve ever been.
The caliber of brothers in the Dojo is unmatched. They’ve inspired me to a new level of excellence in my health, career, and lifestyle pursuits.
If you’re a man who values pushing his limits and supporting others around you in doing the same – you’ll fit right in.”
“There’s very few leaders I know that are better at creating and holding a space that allows you to push way past what you think your limits are and feel safe to do so. Jeddy and Phil are the embodiment of that, and Dojo might be the single most important thing I’ve done to learn and experience how resilient I am. You come out of Dojo feeling like nothing is too hard or too big to accomplish, and that feeling and self belief stays in you because everything in the program makes you prove to yourself how far you can go.”
