They only do personal training and trainer/client numbers are very limited at any given time, allowing for all Covid protocols to be maintained. Hubby started training with Steph a few weeks ago and I recently joined him for a couple of sessions. I love that the space is clean and open. All equipment is in good condition and working well. Steph is motivating and pushes you to go beyond your mental limits. I love how he explains what he has us doing, the benefits and the rationale. He appreciates that we have knowledge and his explanations motivate us more. We have seen one or two other trainers with their clients when we are there and they all seem knowledgeable and professional.

One of my biggest fears about doing personal training is that they'll yell at you and make your confidence go down. I went for a free session/consultation and Erik was very friendly. I'm not sure if he'll be as friendly for my next session lol. I was honest with him and told him that I wanted to learn the proper technique since I have my own gym at home. Okay, this review was written over a few days and I've just finished my first paid workout. It was completely different than my first session and while the weights were light, I am definitely feeling the burn now. Overall, it was a great workout and while personal training is expensive, if you tell them what you are looking for, they'd be happy to work with you to achieve your goals. I think you should try it out as the first session is free.

While much…read moreof the facility feels somewhat dated, the dojo itself (not photographed for privacy reasons) is a well-suited and functional space for classes. The main floor includes the reception area and the dojo, while the basement houses a small equipment area.

Programs are available for children starting at age four, and classes are available for adults as well.

I've been training here for 7 years and find Sensei's approach respectful, professional and works very well. Students are pushed to work hard and everyone progresses at their own pace. The atmosphere is welcoming but there's no place here for fooling around. You come to train. This style of karate is Gojo Ryu and focuses on kata. Sparring is a part of it but not the prime focus. We all have to work tomorrow so no one here is out to hurt you while sparring (like other dojos) in the city. Karate is not about fighting. Kids are expected to participate and show respect to Sensei and the other senior belts - just like they should. It's hard for some kids because they're not expected to show respect at home or at school. Sensei is often heard asking parents to not tell their kids to have fun, but rather to work hard. That very succinctly sums it up. HPMA has been here for 26 years (I'm not aware of any dojo in the city that has been in one location for that long) and going strong so I think bad reviewers here on yelp aren't seeing the whole picture. If you're interested come and try a class for yourself.

As a parent I sat and watched the class in the nice open dojo (not like some of the other dojos we visited where parents are kept behind glass, or worse - not allowed to watch at all!) and was really impressed with the varied, challenging, and fun exercises he was doing. The children's instructors at this dojo are really quite genius at getting the kids involved, keeping them engaged, and teaching respect and discipline. After a year we noticed a big difference in my son - he was more focused at home and at school (yes, even at only six years of age!) and he was always ready to go to karate. After watching on the sidelines for a couple years I finally decided it was time to join the dojo myself. I can tell you that this is not a McDojo. The head instructor, Sensei Tetsuji Nakamura, is the chief instructor of the International Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karatedo Federation (I.O.G.K.F.) and holds a seventh degree black belt. Other instructors are similarly highly ranked and they have truly earned their positions. This is a place where you work hard to move up the ranks... don't expect a black belt in one year! However, it is also a friendly and welcoming place where there is a real sense of community. I have been a student at Shudokan for six years now and have loved every minute of it!
