OUR NAME

The name of the dojo has been the subject of many questions. The main street in the middle of Helena is called Last Chance Gulch. It gets its name from the fact that there were four frustrated gold prospectors who decided to take just one last chance to search for gold before moving on. This time they struck it rich. The city of Helena was founded on the discovery of gold. The dojo is located in the historic Last Chance Gulch area where gold was found and the dojo name precedes Clint George coming to Helena.
