Additionally, the style of Shito-Ryu is very efficient and practical for self-defense. The Sensei treats you like family here and it is a positive practice every time. The training methods involve some Chinese Martial techniques which can be exciting. Also, some great karate practitioners stop by every other week or so as guest teachers. I recommend coming to this dojo if you want to: get stronger, gain self-confidence, love fighting, and if you are serious about living a long and healthy life. Thanks for everything Sensei Oswaldo.

I first became aware of the OGKI dojo about 15 years ago, when my best friend studied there. About…read morea year later I enrolled my eldest daughter so that she could learn some basic self-defense. At the time, I had no idea of the gem I found! Fast-forward to today and I, my (now 20 year old daughter), my son (14), and my baby (6) all are students. This place is a second home for us; I even met my husband at the dojo. Over the years I have seen so many people entrust their children to this place and all because of one thing, the Sensei (teacher). This dojo, through its Sensei and other senior practitioners, offers something many other dojo's do not, a true understanding and love for the martial art of karate. They pass this on to the students. OGKI is about more than punching and kicking. At OGKI students receive more than just basic martial arts instruction. They also get philosophy, history, forms, fighting skills, social skills, and will gain self awareness. There are two classes, children and teen/adults. All classes meet Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The kids' class is an intro to karate and intgrates basics with conditioning and a lot of fun. Most of the kids seem to love it. The adult class brings all of these skills together. It is noteworthy to add that you can totally start as an adult. I started at age 32, and am fine! Overall I highly recommend this dojo for anyone looking for traditional Okinawan Karate. You won't regret it.

This program came recommended by a family friend, when we first joined things seem to be going OK but overtime that changed. Master Creed is an extremely kind and caring instructor, his staff might not all be as well versed in the care of children and how to speak to them which is why we recommend looking at other programs in the area. Our daughter's participate in gymnastics, golf, soccer and karate. My oldest being so excited to join the karate program was sharing with Mr. Maurer about her recent performance in her golf program and that she was thinking of taking a break from gymnastics. Mr. Maurer is usually the finance guy who will upsell each family on their programs, which is understandable we all have a job to do and need to earn money. In this same breath of her being so beyond excited to be trying something new (which was golf) Mr. Maurer had the audacity to tell her to quit golf, as it is not as fun or cool as karate and ask mommy and daddy to pay for the black belt program. Which we are well aware exists but have no interest considering they force you into prepayment for months long commitments, you also are forced to purchase gear and equipment your child may not need or utilize unless they join that more expensive program (it will be sitting collecting dust). She came home from that interaction so speechless and confused, an adult she looked up to telling her that her new interests are silly and unimportant, pushing something on her she has no interest in and that had been communicated to him by both myself and husband, showed this was not the place for us. My mother in law came home also upset after hearing him address an 8 year old this way. I decided to bring it to master Creeds attention and his sympathy was with us but the corrective action did nothing for my child, nor do I think enough was done at the time in regards to holding Mr Maurer accountable. The class she attended after this conversation Master Creeds decided to make directly towards cheering her on in regards to trying something new (golf), which was appreciated but unnecessary considering she should've never been made to feel that way in the first place. When he did mention the golf it brought herto tears because she had what Mr Maurer said to her in the back of her mind. We never returned after that day, we paid for a program we could not complete. It was worth noting, there's a specific way to address kids and adults. Food for thought when shopping around for a program your entire family should feel comfortable with I don't think this is an honest place to bring your kids.
