Before

The dojo’s previous page — its own name as the headline, followed by five paragraphs explaining what Komainu means, and no photograph of anyone training.

The challenge

A first-year Christian BJJ dojo needed a site that could go out today — shareable as one link, readable by a parent deciding on kids’ classes and by a prospective member sizing up the coaches — before komainutd.com itself was ready to launch.

The approach

  1. 01

    A single self-contained HTML build — every font, image and video inlined — so the whole site travels as one link and loads instantly on a phone outside the gym.

  2. 02

    The komainu itself became the design system: stone guardian lion-dogs, an 阿吽 (a-un) motif for the first breath and the last, carried through the palette, the watermark and the copy.

  3. 03

    Programs, coaches and the full week’s class schedule pulled to the surface, so a parent or a first-timer can find their exact class time without a phone call.

  4. 04

    Faith kept in the build rather than bolted on after — the Wednesday Bible study slot on the schedule, the chi-rho mark, the coaches’ own words about why they teach.

Komainu stand in pairs at a temple gate, one mouth open and one closed — the first sound and the last. The site is built the same way: dark and quiet at the threshold, plain and warm once you’re inside.

— the design thesis, from the build specification
