The instruction covers multiple times of martial arts, and the Black Belt program includes weapons as well (escrima, bo staff, nunchucks).

It's been a great program for my kids.

My son said it was the best birthday party he has ever had and was beaming from ear to ear all day (still is today actually). Jasmine (aka Miss Stark) planned every detail perfectly, from the cake, pizzas and the perfecly packaged party favors she had every detail handled. And Master Ricky had the most amazing way with the Children and had them all listening, happy, and participating after a few fun mintues of getting their wiggles out. Both Ricky and Jasmine were exceptional. I would recommend a party for your little one at Premier 10 times over. Such a great experience and a party we will remember forever.

When I moved to Denver 2 years ago, the first thing I did was to find a dojo where I could continue my training. I first visited a dojo that was very traditional. Nothing wrong with it, but I wanted somewhere were I could practice the competitive and athletic side of karate. Okinawa Dojo was the second dojo I visited. From the beginning, I was surprised with the level of the classes, as well as the knowledge and understanding of Karate by both Sensei Vitaly and Sensei Alex. Their kindness and passion for teaching inspires all of us to try hard and give our best in every training. Here, I have not only founda place to train and learn, but friends as well. I encourage everyone who wants to learn "the way of the empty hand" to come to Okinawa Dojo, I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend!

What incentive is there for kids to try hard when it doesn't really matter if they try or not? When I was in Karate, we had to try hard just to get a stripe, or 2 or 3. These people are passing out belts like a free meal on Colfax. I wouldn't recommend. You should be awarded based on skill, not on if you pay your monthly bill.

They make learning fun while still teaching discipline and structure. I've walked past this place so many times and finally decided to check it out as something special for my son's 5th birthday and I'm so glad I did. What I especially appreciate as a parent is how flexible they are. They offer drop-in classes throughout the week, which is a lifesaver with my crazy schedule and makes it easy to stay consistent without stress. My son looks forward to every class, and we're so grateful we found this school!

We really loved the teachers, they were very accommodating the couple times my child got sick and had to makeup a class and overall very friendly. Another child enrolled and was threatening to bite my child, on top of other alarming behaviors. I spoke with the teacher who said that she agreed that the behavior was not okay and that she was working on pulling the child from the program. 3 weeks passed and nothing changed, so we called to pull from the program. The teacher said she wanted to try to fix it and would call us back, she never did so we called back, again stating we were pulling. Master Silva was cordial and the call was ended. Then, two days later, another teacher from NMAA called me trying to get us to stay. Reiterating what was previously discussed, as well as adding the fact that I could enroll my child in two twice a week activities for the same price as her 30min/week martial arts class, I was then told that I had signed a contract and needed to give proper notice, and that I was liable for the following month, whether my child attended class or not. I asked them to send me the contract and they refused and when I pressed them a little more on this made up contract, they finally left me alone, agreeing that I wouldn't have to pay for the following month. After looking over their one star reviews, I now see that they do this to anyone who wants to leave their program. We planned on returning when my child was a little older but after how they handled themselves, we will never be returning, and want to warn others of their shady business practices and flat out LIES.

There are also a myriad of wonderful junior and adult assistant instructors and I love each of them.
