The KARATE Dojo - Angus / Borden / New Lowell

My son has been attending The Karate Dojo in Angus for 4 months. He is 4 years old and in the Tiny Tigers program. Sensi Steve has helped my son become more focused and self confident in his abilities. He teaching method is firm but kind with the kids (which is just what my son needed) but he's funny too. I have seen a great improvement with my sons focus, respect and attentiveness since starting. He looks forward to Karate every week and often talks about moving to the next belt and wanting to compete.Prices are reasonable.I highly recommend Sensi Steve and the Karate Dojo.

My daughters have trained with both Sensei Anna and Sensei Steve for 5 years now. I speak from experience when I say that they are the real deal. Both are well respected within the Martial Arts community for their character, honour and amazing skills. You and your children won’t regret training here at the Karate Dojo in Angus. Their traditional yet patient styles of teaching are like no other. I would recommend that if you have an interest in karate to just come out to the dojo and take a look for yourself. It’s a great place to be if you want to learn.

My son has been attending for a while now and he loves it. Great atmosphere and great people - upbeat, supportive and energetic leaders. Sensei Steve is one of the best there is, he's a great role model for kids. Sensei Anna is mad cool too. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent dojo. It is well equipped and clean. All of the sensei are very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Sensei Steve is a great teacher. He is caring, funny and develops meaningful relationships with his students. He sets high expectations and helps his students achieve them all while having fun. Since joining the dojo, my son has developed greater self-discipline, respect, focus, self-confidence and he takes great pride in his accomplishments. I highly recommend this dojo.

My son has just started the Tiny Tigers program 5 weeks ago and looks forward to going each week. Sensei Steve is firm with respect and listening but has fun and is playful while training with them which is what keeps my son interested and wanting to go back! The price is very reasonable and I highly recommend this Dojo.

3 of my children have been with the DOJO since the ages of 7 the beginner classes, now 13 and 10,10 they have learned so much and have great admiration for their Sensei SteveHe makes the kids work for their goals and achieve them not hand out for “free” he is a great old school teacher with lots of love for his. Students

My son has been learning karate from The Karate Dojo since he was 4 years old. Sensei Steve is amazing! He truly cares about each and every one of his students. He makes an effort to make it fun for the kids while training. Respect and tradition is very important to Sensei and it certainly shows with the kids. The expectations regarding respect are clear. Sensei Patti helps with the littles and is very good with them as well.The Dojo itself is clean and well marked with plenty of seating.

I trained there for about a year and here's my experience. When I came in early to prepare for the adult class, I've noticed that the senseis son was getting more favoritism then the other kids in the class and the son was the same rank as the other kids, I found that unfair. In most of the adult classes, I found that theirs more talking then training, and again, a couple of students had more favoritism in the adult class and I was the same rank as the students. Half the time theirs ego and arrogant energy in the dojo as well. I've been training in the martial arts for a long time now, no martial arts gym should have ego and arragance at all because that's negative influence on the students, be humble.

This place is the REAL DEAL!I have had both of my sons enrolled at the Karate Dojo in Angus for many years. Coming from a larger city, I was very impressed with the calibre of instruction that both Sensei Steve and his wife Anna provide at the dojo. Both Senseis are excellent in the discipline of Goju Karate. They are highly experienced, extremely fit and they continually study karate themselves! They believe in lifelong learning and it is very evident in their approach to their teaching. They are great with adults and most especially children. The classes are very well run, organized and the kids learn everything from martial arts, respect and how to be dignified. The learning that the children receive truly goes well beyond marital arts. Old school manners and respect to other people are the cornerstone of this dojo. Sensei Steve leads the dojo with a firm yet kind hand.The hour that my kids spend twice a week is great! Physical fitness, discipline, and the foundations on how to be respectful to other people is what your children will learn from the dojo.Well done to Steve and Anna!!!

Sensai Steve is amazing with kids. My son started when he was 4 and just over a year later we have seen a huge difference in him. His ability to concentrate/focus and his strength are vastly improved and he loves going. We gave him an opportunity to stop going and focus on hockey and he wouldn't even consider it.Sensai can be tough when needed and silly and fun. The tiny tigers program is perfect if you have a little one. They will get skills in both karate and lessons to carry through in every day
