  • - After 11 productive years at TBJC in Titusville, Dr. Drysdale-sensei and the teaching staff have decided that it is time to move on. We have located an appropriate place with a mat very similar to the one we have practiced on for many years at 3650 Bobbi Ln. Titusville, FL 32780. A new map has been placed on the dojo information site. Please note, all practices will be there from now on. We would like to thank the staff at TBJC for their generosity in sharing the mat with us. Once again, all practices will now be held at the new dojo on Bobi ln. Please contact Alan Drysdale at 321.269.2394 or by email if you have any further questions.
