At the heart of Purple Dragon is a focus on mental, physical, and spiritual growth. The instructors, led by Shihan Amber, aim to provide a positive environment where students can develop discipline, respect, and integrity - qualities that extend beyond the dojo and into everyday life. The Don Jitsu Ryu system is practiced globally, with a strong presence in 12 countries.
Shihan Amber and the Kitsilano team are widely recognized for their passion, expertise, and commitment to their students. The Cardio Kickboxing classes are structured to challenge participants of all fitness levels, with modifications available. Purple Dragon Kitsilano is described as a nurturing community that welcomes students and their families.
I train with my daughter at Kits' Dojo, and I can say that we couldn't have found a better place, not only to learn martial arts, but also to meet wonderful and motivating people. Our training partners, our Shihan, Senseis, Senpais, and Instructors are undoubtedly partners and very well prepared and qualified to teach and welcome us always!
Shihan Amber and the Kitsilano Team continue to serve their students with the passion for being family. I have known Shihan Amber since she was a teenager. She and her team have represented Canada all over the world and continue to share Purple Dragon Don Jitsu ryu with all. Kids benefit from the discipline and structure, teens learn leadership and self-defence, and stay fit and healthy sharing training with their kids. I highly recommend Purple Dragon Kitsilano as a first and last choice. See you at your next grading.
Purple Dragon Kitsilano is an amazing dojo! Shihan Amber is a truly inspiring instructor who combines discipline, respect, and encouragement in every class. She has a gift for motivating students of all ages to push past their limits while making them feel supported and part of the Purple Dragon family. The training is challenging, rewarding, and rooted in the powerful Don Jitsu Ryu system. If you’re looking for a place to grow stronger in body and mind, this is it!
