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!

Shihan Amber Murphy is a master teacher and one of the finest proponents of the Don Jitsu Ryu system. Her instruction is rooted in tradition, discipline, and authenticity while creating an atmosphere that is welcoming and inspiring. The Kitsilano Dojo is more than a martial arts school—it is a community where students are challenged to grow not only in their martial arts skills but also in confidence, respect, and resilience. Under Shihan Amber’s leadership, students receive real training, real mentorship, and real results.
If you are seeking authentic martial arts training for yourself or your family, the Purple Dragon Kitsilano Dojo is the place to be.

We've been part of this dojo for more than 8 years, and we plan to be part of it for many more. Yes, they teach martial arts, but really they build self confidence, kindness, community and so much more. Lead by Shihan Amber, many of the teachers are among the highest ranks in the country, bringing experience as well as an inclusive and accepting approach. The Purple Dragon Don Jitsu Ryu System is also a mix of different martial arts offering students practical real world training in self defence.

Really wonderful martial arts program was arranged for our students' P.E. classes. The instructor was excellent both teaching the skills and with classroom management! I was personally very impressed with Purple Dragon, and I know many of the kids were happy and excited to go each week. Thank you! Lize
