Martial Arts Schools near Kailua

“My son had the honor of training with this dojang for 2 years and loved every minute of it. The instructors are attentive and caring and work with every student according to their needs. My son felt like part of the family and grew in this training.“

“Friendly staff. Easy sign up process. Excellent recommendation for a personal trainer from the sales team.“

“A quiet Nichiren Buddhist sect temple. Related to the larger temple up by Oahu Country Club. Dojo for martial arts. Presently no resident priest. Well maintained with a huge beautiful bodhi tree in back.“

“We were lucky enough to find Sensei Maile during the height of the Covid pandemic lockdown. Our boys, twins age 6, began private lessons with her outside at our house. This fall, they have been able to attend classes and private lessons at the newly opened Kachi Karate dojo on S Beretania. The boys LOVE Sensei Maile. She is calm, patient, fun and a super skilled expert. She also happens to have a daughter their age, so she really "gets" kids and knows how to motivate them. My husband and I love that she emphasizes the mental discipline, including doing well in school and being respectful of your parents, in addition to the physical discipline. I cannot recommend Sensei Maile and Kachi Karate highly enough! We are so happy to have found this wonderful place for our kids to learn and grow.“

“Aikido has been very interesting for the my 9yo and 11yo. They started last October and have been learning and enjoying. They made friends with good kids and look forward to going twice a week. Two months into aikido, my 11yo flew over his handle bars of the scooter because there was a crack in the cement. I was sure by the way he fell that he cracked his head. I ran toward him and he got up. Not a scratch. He did an aikido roll. From practicing, it was instinct to tuck his head and roll. Instead of going to the ER he had a powerful testimony to tell all his fellow students, family and friends. Thank you TAO!“

“We love Tenri. This is a great dojo with very patient but firm instruction. The classes are run in a very orderly fashion. Sensei Chow is very cognizant of current COVID developments so you can be assured your children's safety is carefully managed. Stop by and visit the dojo and see for yourself how well-run and how skilled and happy the students are. These are very good indicators of a great dojo and great instruction. We entrust Tenri with our 4 children and highly recommend Hawaii Tenri Judo to all our friends.“

“Hi I used to train here before I moved to Washington they are the best. I saw a couple pictures and saw an old friend yasmin (congratulations on the purple belt). Love you guys“
