How to Join Dorchester AGOGE
Training groups are kept deliberately small.
Quality is prioritised over volume.
All new clients follow a structured entry process before joining group training.
Prior experience is not required.
No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.
