The Ishi Dojo Youth Center offers martial arts, dance, theatre, fitness, tutoring and nutrition programs. Located at 65 Pavilion Ave in
Providence RI the center is open from 3-7 Mon thru Fri and Sat from 12-3. The IDYC is a certified non profit organization that uses a
sliding scale as to the financial needs of the members. The flat rate is 50.00 monthly which allows the children ranging from 5-18 to
participate in any and all programs as many times a week as they would like. The foundation for all of the programs offered are the
principles of character, leadership and understanding. Our goal is to foster self expression and creativity. From the moment they walk
in the door the students are taught the values of respect, kindness and the basic precept…you get what you give. Children at the
center are taught the value of earning, giving back and helping others achieve their goals. These lessons are found especially in the
martial arts curriculum where to move higher in rank you must move higher in thought process. The children are consistently taught
to push themselves further, appreciate all life and to search for ways to become a better person. On the journey to the coveted
black belt children learn the benefits of taking good care of their bodies with fitness training and nutrition. They also learn the
benefits of a healthy diet as to how they feel mentally and how they perform physically. The entire student body are given the tools
to resolve conflict without aggression and understand that the best self defense is the art of making better life decisions. They are
guided to higher plane of thinking above what society dictates as important such as material possessions, awards and reputations.
Instead they are constantly reminded of hard work ethic, humbleness and gratitude learning who they are and what kind of human
being they want to be. Lessons include the importance of family, self awareness, and a desire to change the world around them.
