Colorado Budokan

Excellent dojo to learn traditional Karate-Do, specializing in the style of Shotokan. Gary Sensei and Candice Sensei are absolutely amazing and are exceptional instructors of this art including their senior instructors. This dojo is perfect for any age level. Excellent discipline for younger children and great physical development for even adult students. This is a true martial arts institution and NOT a “mcdojo” like so many other martial arts schools out there. Highly recommend this school if you are interested in training in the martial arts for yourself or your children, you will not regret it.

This place is amazing. As a former martial artist I searched for a dojo that offered a traditional style taught in an authentic way. Colorado Budokan is that dojo. Our whole family is there.
