Customer Reviews

Kulbinder

The karate session with Hirokazu Sensei was excellent. I’ve trained for many years and we had a great session working together. For beginners, Sensei has a detailed programme that is really good to take you through basics, and have lots of fun. Highly recommended.

Dorota & Eryk

The karate class with a board-breaking experience was truly satisfying. We highly recommend trying both calligraphy and karate in Kagoshima!

Sean, Kelly & Josh

Very kind and takes lots of photos for you. All communication was conducted smoothly in English, and if English was difficult, they would respond using a translator.
