What People Are Saying about Zenbudo Dojo?
“I wanted to find something that our 4 and 6 year old would both enjoy learning. I was a little skeptical with our 4 year old not paying attention, but Sensei CJ does a great job at keeping him focused during class! Within the 3 months of going our boys self discipline and respect grows more and more each time! They both ask every day when I pick them up “ is there karate today? ”, they are so eager to go every week!“
— Cansas P. (Parent)
“My son has absolutely loved his time at this dojo! Every week, he looks forward to class and leaves with a huge smile, eager to show us what he has learned. The instructor is incredibly thorough, patient, and clear in his teaching, taking the time to explain techniques in a way that makes sense to the kids while still challenging them to grow. We have seen such a difference in our son’s focus, confidence, and discipline since starting karate here. We are so grateful for how much he has learned and how much he enjoys every class. Highly recommend! ”
— Helen H. (Parent)
“Sensei CJ is patient with his students and truly cares about the art. My son has been taking since February, and will be testing soon for his first belt. Small class sizes so kids get the extra attention.”
— Alisha H. (Parent)
“This school is not just kick punch generic martial arts and get a black belt in a year. The instructor trained and continues to train in this old school karate style called Seidokan. This is for people looking for authentic Okinawan Karate System that is practical and edifies standing grappling with strikes. The forms are directly translated to self defense that control the opponent and does not allow an opportunity to counter. The system is an adult system that is altered for civil self protection for youth. If you are looking for a complete system, get to this class.”
— Don H. (Fellow Martial Artist)
“Our daughter, 10, and son, 8, are taking classes with Sensei CJ and absolutely love it!!! They are learning discipline, self-confidence and self-defense…these are all great qualities that my children will have for the res of their lives…with all the dangers in the world, I am extremely happy to know that they will be equipped to handle most situations…my wife and I are thinking about taking classes too as they offer “family” packages…highly recommend Sensei CJ!!”
