I signed my daughter up with Okamotos School of Karate when she was 8-years-old. She loved it so much that I signed up my 5-year-old son. They were both having so much fun, I signed myself up too! It was one of the best decisions I ever made as a father. We eventually all earned our black belts. The workouts were challenging, the comradeship wonderful, and the values taught priceless. Yoshiro Okamoto Sensi is an amazing mentor to children and adults alike. Okamoto’s School of Karaté is one of the most positive and valuable experiences a child, or adult, can have.Dr. Roger B.

Okamoto’s is a welcoming, friendly dojo to improve yourself. I started at age 38 with no idea about martial arts except from the movies. Even though I have been a long distance runner for years, training here challenged me in many ways and improved my fitness. I learned a lot about myself and many areas of my life have benefited from learning karate at Okamoto’s.

I’ve grown up as a student at this dojo. It’s amazing how you can be treated like family while learning about respect for self and others. The staff at this dojo help students set and achieve goals. The amount of discipline that is gained from the practices here is helpful for anyone. Families and individuals are welcome and everyone is able to learn at their own pace. This is a great place for kids too! Love it here!

I love training here! I have been training with Okamoto Sensei since I was 16 years old. I have had the opportunity to teach classes and grow in many different areas. As a teenager and as an adult I have learned valuable lessons about life and how to treat others. I searched for and tried several dojos before finding this one and never left. If you are looking for a dojo please give this one a try. I believe you won't regret it.

I signed up my son with Okamoto’s Karate when he was 6. My wife and I would go watch with the other parents. After seeing him do exercises and katas we talked it over and joined up ourselves. The boy was doing great, but we were huffing and puffing. I never realized how out of shape I was. After a few months that began to change. The three of us would go to class together as a family. We were all having a good time. Mr. Okamoto is very patient with the kids (and parents too). There was one side effect that I did not expect. Focus is a key element in Karate. Mr. Okamoto taught my son to ‘focus’. This has helped him immensely through school and life in general. Now my son is grown. He is a second degree black belt. When I look back I am pleased that Karate is something we did together.

Great, welcoming place for kids to learn karate in a friendly environment. All the instructors are wonderful and really connect with each student. They offer a trial session which we took advantage of for our 6 and 4 year old, and they made us all feel very comfortable. They also make sure students are prepared for belt testing and tournaments. Highly recommended Okamoto's!
