Wonderful dojo that Sensei Chapman--a true Shotokan traditionalist as far as I can tell--has built. My older two sons have been here for a year. If your are considering enrolling your children, you must understand he expects commitment, will criticize your children with the best of intentions to help them improve, and will not coddle them. Rewards such as belts and stripes are not given out readily. If you parent your children with the philosophy that self-esteem is the natural result of achievement through hard work rather than the number of likes received through carefully curated Instagram posts for example, then this is the place for you.
This is a VERY traditional Shotokan dojo, from the makiwara to the dojo kun. The emphasis is on how to defend yourself. The teachers are Senseis, not "Masters" promising a black belt within a years' time. It should take about 5 years BTW If you want to EARN a black belt, come on in! Otherwise, you could buy the outfit at Halloween to save time, money and sweat. Make new friends and join today to master an art as well as gain confidence in new, practical skills.
Excellent dojo. Excellent teachers. If you want to work hard, learn defensive skills, and actually earn you ranking, this is the Dojo for you. -- Been training here for over 5yrs. Still great and worth every penny and calorie spent!
The best instruction, application and absolute truth in TEACHING everything about a serious martial art. Blackbelts are earned AND NOT BOUGHT
A first-rate school with excellent instructors and a flexible schedule. Real world self defense applications combined with traditional Japanese shotokan karate training methods.
The Best Dojo in the World Bar None. Keeping the tradition of Sensei Cofield and Sensei Lapuppet Alive. Thank you Sensri Chapman, You are the Chosen One.
If you are looking for the perfect mix of traditional, practical, and outside-the-box Karate training, your search ends here.
