First of all. This style is extremely practical in any situation you may need to defend yourself or others, no matter how big or small you are. Trust me. I was looking for a martial art to better myself as a person both physically and mentally, and I found it. You leave feeling refreshed and better about yourself. Everyone at Kodokai is a pleasure to work with, always making sure you feel comfortable. You will learn things here that you can take with you through life. Thank you Kodokai!
So glad I found KODOKAI! I had wanted to practice martial arts all my life and finally decided to do it. I wasn't sure exactly what style I was looking for, but I knew what I didn't want after having taken my son to his classes in which he earned half-colored belts and to birthday parties at places that ensnared the guests into joining with a monthly commitment. At Kodokai, run by Sensei Branchaud and his wife Sempai Kim Branchaud, I knew right away I had found a dojo that taught a martial arts meant to be used in real self-defense, not for competition or show. The style is also a rare and authentic Okinawan Martial arts that I never knew existed and I really love the way its taught and how Sensei gives practical reasoning when teaching. The other members of the Dojo are also welcoming and very supportive of all the students who enter. It's a great environment that will boost confidence, skills and has even gotten me in better shape. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain if you've been wanting to give Martial Arts a try. My life has changed so much in just a year- choose Kodokai!
I've been training here for almost 4 years now and I can honestly say this place has become my second home. everyone there is always very friendly and helpful. they teach authentic martial arts straight from Okinawa in a professional, non competitive way. I really value everything I have learned here. in the past 4 years ive gained so much confidence, self discipline, and knowledge of applicable self defense techniques.
I've been training at Kodokai for over six years now. What I can tell you is it's a great place to learn. It's a friendly none competitive atmosphere. You'll learn real functional self defense skills. I highly recommend them if you're interest in learning real martial arts.
Authentic, positive, worth it! I feel so good after every class, physically and emotionally. Sensei is so knowledgeable and refined in palace hand and karate. He is a master teacher. Kim will welcome you and introduce you to what you need, and will also help you learn on the mats! This is such a great place for any age!!
If you are looking for reliable martial arts skills, this is the place to train. Sensei Dennis Branchaud and Sempai Kim Branchaud take each student's abilities into account and help everyone develop skills at their own pace, and in a way that will be useful in real life situations, not just in a controlled environment. In training at Kodakai I have gained, strength, flexibility, self defense skills, and a sense of being centered that I truly value.
