Martial Arts Schools in Chapel Hill

“Master Jo and Master Ki are doing an exceptional job. I could not have imagined a better place for my son to grow and learn. Since he started (less than 1 year) his physical skills have improved, his posture is much better and he learns to focus, follow instructions and be respectful. The progression with the belts also helps him understand how through hard work he can become better, improve leading towards the reward. Highly highly recommend!“

“Can’t say enough about how great this place is! Training here for 13 years and every time i learn something new and from a different angle!! I just recently tested up for my second degree and Everyone congratulated me. I recommend this to any one of all ages 4+ looking for a solid take on self defense. Their Jujitsu program is just as impressive as their Ninjitsu program. This place is a 1,000/5 it is just such a great place and a second home to me!“

“Mr. Ching and the teachers are absolutely amazing. My son is coming up on a year, and the amount of stamina, determination, and growth mindset he’s learned and gained is truly remarkable. He is always excited to attend classes and wants to keep practicing at home. Thank you for making this possible for all of these students!“

“I've been training at Ligo Dojo of Budo Karate for over a year, and it’s been an incredible experience. The instructors have created a strong, supportive environment that makes it a great place to grow both physically and mentally.

If you’re looking for a new dojo but feel unsure about finding the right fit, I highly recommend giving this place a try. The culture here is friendly and welcoming, and everyone treats each other with respect. Whether you're brand new or experienced, you'll feel comfortable and supported from day one.“

“While karate is the foundation of Ligo Dojo, Ligo sensei’s study of Hoshokai has introduced multiple other forms of Japanese martial art that precede modern karate. We not only study these arts, but we do so with the Japanese masters whose lineage dates back hundreds of years. It’s an incredible experience that only exists here in Chapel Hill!“
