Testimonials
Where do I start. After couple of Free lessons that club is offering for new people I decided to join and see how it will develop for me. So far so good. From the moment you enter the class you feel welcomed and part of the team. Matt and Flick are great instructors. I really like the layout of the classes mixing traditional Karate kata with some freestyle drills . I think it works really well. you will learn the moves and how to apply them in real situations.etc brilliantly explained by Matt. Great communication, making sure everyone is on the same page and everyone know what and when is happening. Over all highly recommended club … Go I use those 2 free classes to find out for yourself
The best thing I have done in a long time was walk into OKC Dojo! I joined 7 months after having a baby, they were so encouraging, pushed me the exact right amount and the before and after care was amazing. Not only has this been great for my physical and mental health, I have made friends and built a support network. If you are thinking about starting martial arts don’t hesitate in joing OKC! You will not regret it.
It’s so good! Really welcoming and you learn soooo much! I haven’t been to karate for nearly 30 years but if it was like this back then I would never of stopped. Highly recommend.
Absolutely the best hobby ever. Sensei Matt is way too kind and understanding and he makes sure everyone is safe and happy and not hurt. Senpai is also amazing as if do you get hurt (under rare circumstances) she sits down near you and comforts you.
Well what can I say? The guys who run this team are amazing. They are so kinda and caring and fully supportive no matter how you come to there dojo doors. Everybody is welcome no matter what and it is super well known whilst your there that all are welcome. These guys welcome you into there dojo and into there hearts they live and breath for the teaching of somthing so special to them, no step is to big for them to take to make sure this dojo is full of love support dedication and kindness I could go on and on about how amazing this guys are! My children love coming weekly (even if my son only does the warm ups and cool downs) the friendships made here are so strong but not only between the children but the adults aswell the dojo really can feel like your home away from home and big bonus your children are super tired and ready to sleep after a lesson
