I am a mature adult martial arts student. I have trained elsewhere. At Toraguchi you do much more…read morethan train. It is a true nurturing, 'get the best out of me' dojo. This provides self-improvement of mind, body and spirit to all students - young and old. Opened in 1999, it is family owned and operated with an expansive set of connections within the martial arts community locally and internationally. It is a friendly and informative learning atmosphere with a Sensei who always attends directly to students growth. The instruction is tailored to each student, not to a dojo 'formula' or teaching method. We all are individuals and treated as such. Sensei Jonathan teaches all classes, and students routinely get one on one guidance. He maintains traditional GoJu Ryu karate values of courtesy and respect. There are regular on the mat in depth discussions as to the 'why's' behind what is taught. This greatly helps student's understanding of the meaning and connection between techniques. Sensei constantly educates himself, and this shows in the way he teaches students. He has a wealth of practical knowledge and teaches it well. Parents bring their children to attend classes; then join themselves.....what better reference can you get. The dojo is very conveniently located close to the QEW at Bronte, Lakeshore and Bronte Go Station in Oakville, with ample free parking. I highly recommend this dojo.

This seems like another great opportunity lost to greed at the expense of our kids. I had joined my…read moreboy into their program a few years ago. It seemed he liked it, so I enrolled him in their 3 year black belt program. Unfortunately, they kept getting more and more kids and the quality of instructions went down month after month. The kids do a slow dance that look something like a slow motion movie and end up learning nothing. Instructors are a mixed bag of people who know martial arts along with some who are just working their for a paycheck because the shop next door didn't have opening. At this point, I just pulled him out and paid significant portion of the remaining contract (and a lot of money, think of horror stories of gyms from a few year ago). Beware of signing this contract. IMO, look for dedicated and motivated instructors and schools if you really want your kid to learn martial arts. This unique brand could have been great and they were rather decent when they were introduced. After years of dedication and time spent trying for my kid to be good at something, all I have to show are checks written to them. Very disappointed.

I can't say I was one…read morethat stuck to any particular workout routine for very long but have found that I am able to at OBFT. I have really enjoyed the combination of strength training and boxing within one session - keeping it fun while also being a great workout. Scott is great at motivating you to push harder without being too intimidating! I have noticed great improvements in my strength and endurance. Scott pays particular attention to form during the workout which I appreciate as I know so many that have injured themselves through inappropriate training. I can't speak highly enough of Scott and OBFT and would highly recommend them!

We first found the dojo when my oldest child turned 5, and we decided that some karate classes were…read morein order to help him burn off all the extra energy. 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!

The traditional teachings develop the student to be skilled and knowledgeable and at the same time, respectful and disciplined. The children have fun as well with the many family events throughout the calendar year, including karate camps, bbqs, holiday parties, and birthday celebrations. Both Scott and Tammy are encouraging and motivating while demonstrating the forms and techniques required at each class level (by age). All in all, a positive experience for anyone looking to join a martial arts school in Milton, Ontario.
