WHETHER YOU'RE A RONIN THAT SEEKS BELONGING, OR ESTABLISHED INSTRUCTOR LOOKING TO DEEPEN YOUR KNOWLEGDE: WE'RE UNITED INSIDE THE ELITE.

 JOIN THE ELITE

Because: (checklist)

  • You can't help to think about Karate every day...
  • You watch Karate videos on Facebook and Youtube...
  • You grab a book from the shelf to find answers, get inspired or simply enjoy the thing you love: Karate.
  • You can't talk about it much with your friends because they don't "get" you...
  • In the Dojo you feel you're not the average student...
  • And you want to study and practise more...

Or maybe, your instructor quit, there not much in your area, and you still want to continue your studies and training?

I bet it sounds familiar. Yes?

You're not alone. In every Dojo there are a few anomalies like you 👊

And we're united inside The Elite.

Why I started it?

Ever since Ishikawa sensei took me under his wing, I'm working around the clock to study and practise intricate details that matter...

...and give back to you through The Digi Dojo.

That's why I launched The Elite: to take it to the next level. You'll find 71 testimonials of raving fans on this page for a reason. And I want YOU to be part of our community too 🙇‍♂️

Ready to learn more? 

Hi 👋  

I'm AJ from The Digi Dojo .com, and here's your invitation to join us on the frontier.👇 

FROM: AJ van Dijk — Chief Instructor Karate & Kobudo, Founder of The Digi Dojo

SUBJECT: How to revolutionise your training and enjoy your Karate on the frontier

A voyager...

Exploring Karate...

On the frontier...

You think that sound intriguingly awesome, fun, inspiring and exciting?

It's what we do inside The Elite. And since you're a can't-stop-thinking-about-karate enthusiast: you should join us too 👊

That said, Karate is not always a bed of roses.

If that's the case you wouldn't be here.

Just like the 37 Karateka from 14 countries worldwide that joined The Elite for a reason...

YOU WANT TO STAY AS EAGER AS A WHITE BELT

  • Deep down you are: still eager, but equally limited as you can't find an instructor that provides you with the depth you're looking for. Or the frequency. 
  • You feel like driving with the handbrake on: you see your grandma's cookie jar on the top shelf, but you can't reach it. It's frustrating.
  • And your eagerness is overshadowed by worries about correct technique, which instructor is right... even Karate politics. This slows you down and takes away unrestrained happiness a kid has playing outside (and you want that back). Karate is awesome and you don't want it to give you headaches.

YOU WISH TO DISCOVER NEW AND EXCITING STUFF

  • But you're disappointed that nothing excitingly new comes along: Either you lack regular access to top instructors in the first place, or you've been in the game for decades and know a thing or two. Classes and seminars are fun, but it's not like you continuously discover new realms — like rice without flavor.
  • It's the same over and over again. Or you're left doing random stuff to spice up your training...
  • Result: your progress is marginal — I mean: are you much better now than you were last year?

Ok. Maybe you're in the "the more I know, the more I realise I don't know" camp. But fact is you have no clue what you don't know — and no gameplan to get there.

Been there and done that, so I know how you feel — EVEN while studying under Japanese instruction.

Private training at my house before Covid (2019) — AJ, Sakagami, Roeland

Sometimes you feel like walking in the snow. When you look back you can see your footsteps. But when you look forward there's no clear path. No future steps. Not even landmarks.

As if practising on blind faith HOPING that one day you'll master Othsuka-level Taisabaki.

I told you I've been there...

Anyway — enough drama. But I needed to make sure we're on the same page.

So:

Is there a way to speed up and energise your training into white-belt fun style while understanding and developing fundamental internal-level skill? 

Absolutely.

But if you're rigid like "This is what instructor so and so taught me on Sunday at 2PM back in '87..." than that's where you stay — in 1987.

If you're a 1987-rules Karateka: stop reading.

We push the boundries. Just like Sakagami sensei who went through changes and upgrades even well into his seventies. 

We're still working on Junzuki, digging deeper.

Online private training with Sakagami sensei during Covid.

If you're on the edge of your seat to find out where all this is heading... read this👇

"Revolutionise your karate with deep yet easy-to-understand explanations, proven-effective methods and technical hints you can apply straight away so you can take your knowledge and skill next level."

Good?

It's ready. And you can join us.

You'll discover the key points that move the needle in a matter of minutes, so you can practise knowing that every repetition is fun as well as effective.

here's what you get

the elite masterclass + recordings

— PRICING 37/m 17/m

You can frequently join full-blown prepared-in-detail masterclasses. Scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, so you won't miss out if you teach yourself on Saturdays. Plus: you have access to recordings so you can check them if you can't make it. Or revisit them when you want.

The catch: it's like an old-fashion magazine subscription. When you subscribe, you get every next issue. But they won't deliver all past issues to your mailbox. You're still in time to claim access to the upcoming masterclass.

  • Stay on top of your game with brand-new masterclasses where you'll discover frontier stuff and powerful methods.
  • Scheduled on Saturday's and Sunday's, powered by full HD recordings (not those low-quality Zoom videos) you'll never have to miss a thing.
  • Get direct personal feedback that not only create eureka moments, but also target your bad habits right then and there — you know: that pesky one you can't get rid of no matter what you try...

dojo sessions + recordings

— PRICING: Elite only

The Dojo Sessions are the closest you can get to being a student in my dojo, without actually being there.

The demonstrations and explanations are pointy and clear, so you can enjoy physical practise with effective keypoints to be mindful of — under my guidance. 

And by the way: I'm not randomly logging into Zoom and turning on my camera. Dojo Sessions have a theme and are hybrid: they work for my "offline" students in my Dojo in Gorinchem as well as for you, joining class online from anywhere in the world.

NEXT TO NO OTHER

AJ shares knowledge that is next to no other instructor that you have seen on the internet. He's thorough in demonstrating & explaining the techniques while you can easily follow along. The classes contain great insights as well as effective teaching methods. AJ's very articulate and it’s like having him in your own room as a private instructor as you get tailored personal feedback.

ART DORE  //  Wadokai Northern Ireland

the elite-only community

— PRICING: Elite only

Whenever I feel like sharing an important message with regards to Karate history, technique, training and mindset, I will — inside the community. 

Plus: you'll have me on speeddial there. Whatever Karate question you have, drop it in the community to get my take on the issue. 

And not to worry... this group is not for technical going-in-circles discussions with keyboard warriors. Posts are about value.

Here's what I already shared the first 3 days...

  • Internal muscle training with anti-rotation — stay straight in Pinan Yondan/Kushanku Yokogeri (this method automatically engages internal muscle with coil loading).
  • 2 Kneeraising methods from our warm-up that teach disassociating movement so you can control your posture and kick without telegraphing.
  • Irimi Hip Push variation training that blends Suri Ashi with punch-from-all-over-the-place skills (it's how you master alignment in-flight).
  • Wall pushing for shoulder stability + hack = hard & stable punching.
  • Refined never-shared-before detail of the first move from Chinto (this is how you technically execute "just natural")
  • Powerful compression & expansion methods that turns your regular punch, no matter how hard, into a sophisticated technique that you can use in close range easily too. 

And since the first 3 days of going live, that list has grown tremendously. All posts are categorised and tagged so you can quickly find what you're looking for.

There are cool and motivational members in there too. Like Francis 😆

Even though I've been to many seminars with Sakagami and Nukina sensei, access to Advanced Wado Kumite exceeded my expectations. Also, there's too much that will be forgotten, so now I use The Digi Dojo to check the different forms.

This course presents this ideology in a practical way that is easy to understand.

do you still have questions? 

The Elite Subscription gives you access to Online courses, Live Masterclasses and support inside our private community.

Still... you may be wondering:

Q — So the 67 euro is for a 30 day trail?
A — The 67 euro is your investment to testdrive The Elite. After 30 days, your membership is only 17 euro per month. In other words, if you cancel before the end of your trial you won't be rebilled. 

Q — When I cancel, do I lose access to previous purchases?
A — No. You always keep access to seperate purchases. You can even make a lifetime purchase of a course when you're Elite. If you cancel Elite, you'll still have lifetime access to the course you got seperately. It's like when you have 2 products and do away with one, you still have the other.

Q — 17 euro per month seems way too low. Is there a catch?
A — I hear you. When you join you even have instant access to the teachers course. And an online masterclass ticket + recording alone is 54 euro... You can join The Elite for like 50 cents per day, with NO catch. The price is low because I don't want it to stand in your way. 37/m is totally justified, but on top of the membership of your local Dojo I understand it can be too much. That's why it's just 17 euro.

Q — Do I get access to everything right away?
A — Yes. All Premium courses and bonuses are unlocked the second you jump on board. But, if you join the Elite with a free trial, ebooks are unlocked after your trial finishes.

Q — When are the Live Classes?
A — Masterclasses are usually on Saturday and Sunday. Dojo Sessions are on Monday or Wednesday. One thing for sure: we'll look for find times that suit most, and ideally all Elite members. If you can't make it, you can access the recording.

Q — Can I access all previous masterclass recordings?
A — Think of your membership as an old-fashion magazine subscription. When you subscribe, you get every next issue. But they won't deliver all past issues to your mailbox. You can't access previous ones, but you're still in time to secure the next Masterclass & recording. Here's what it looks like: fully edited videos including chapters so you can quickly find what you're looking for. Community uploads are stored here too 👇

Q — Are contents updated?
A — Absolutely. And often based on your specific needs too. It happens a lot that a member asks a question during the Q&A, that leads to a new featured article and videoseries.

Q — Can I ask questions to AJ directly?
A — You can drop a comment inside a course and in the community. During the online masterclasses there is always room during training for quick questions related to class. If you're looking for individual mentorship, check "Whatsapp Coaching" and "Private Zoom Classes".

Here's how Elite's reacted inside the community after getting their text and video answers to their questions 👌

Q — I am not in JKF-Wadokai. Is this for me?
A — Yes. It's even for you if you practise Tang Soo Do and other related arts. Although most is based on Wadokai, it contains universal fundamentals: gravity is true for anyone. That said, if you're looking for pure style stuff and you do Shotokan, don't join The Elite. If you want to study Karate more deeply, this is the place.

Q — Can I learn a new Kata through the Masterclasses?
A — The classes are designed as MASTERclass seminars. You're expected to already know the sequence of the Kata. We don't focus on what the movement is, but HOW to execute it. You get key points and methods to add to your toolbox, so you can practise with confidence.

Q — There's plenty on Youtube, why should I get this?
A — There's plenty on Youtube, but it's not coherent and designed to help you. Youtube can be a great source of entertainment, but if you're looking for keys and methods that help you progress your Karate this is the place. Has Youtube helped you so far? 

Q — I don't think I have enough time to watch everything, should I get this?
A — You don't have to watch everything. It's not like a traditional VHS or DVD where you're entertained from start to finish. Simply pick the topic you want to work and go to the article or video that you need for your training tomorrow.
