    Kodokai - With my karate teacher in Okinawa, Japan. This is the school where I was taught!

    I first discovered Kodokai while searching for a dojo that offered training in a two-sword style or…read moreKenjutsu. After joining, I also started classes in Palace Hand, quickly realizing that both styles benefit one another and eventually even adding Karate to my repertoire to engage my mind and body. Sensei Branchaud and Sempai Kim have reputable credentials and are truly great teachers, constantly pushing their students to become better and improve their skills in every class. Here they offer Karate, Palace Hand, Sword, Weapons, and Zen Meditation classes straight from Okinawa, Japan. Kodokai is a great place to have fun and get into shape, or even just lose some pounds while gaining knowledge, respect, discipline, and self-defense against one or multiple attackers. I have definitely lost weight and have gotten into much better shape since I have started my training. When it comes to training you might expect the drill sergeant type of method that is common in most dojos offering monotonous routines, but it is not like that here. This is self-defense training not sport competition training. They offer self-defense classes for kids, teens, adults, and private lessons. All training is done among students from beginner to advanced ranks without limiting anyone's training in order to accommodate a lifelike scenario since no attacker is the same. I have gained skills that can be utilized to protect myself, friends, family, and possibly another person who is being attacked or needs a helping hand. My work schedule differed from my class schedule and they were able to work with me to create a schedule that would work for both of us. It is a relaxed environment with great people who are fun to learn with and are very open to welcoming new participants to our dojo. There is an extensive amount of knowledge that is taught here much more than I can explain. If you are looking for authentic martial arts offering practical training this is the first and last place you will need to check out. It might be hard to find at first but it is located on Eddie Dowling Highway in the Plaza at Park Square in the back of the building (across the Street from CVS).

    My son has been training here for over a year. This is not just a dojo, but also a community. The…read moresenseis really care about their students. From day one they call every student by their name. They work with every student on an individual level - challenging some, building confidence in others - knowing just what the student needs at that particular time. This dojo has taught my son so many things in just one year: coordination, confidence, self control, pride in accomplishments, how to accept criticism, how to win and lose, how to follow directions, how to stand up for oneself or others, patience, persistence, and flexibility, balance, and strength. They develop the whole person. He has had so much FUN learning those things. Martial arts has really become a part of our son's identity and a great source of pride for him. This is not a dojo out to take your money and do the minimum. They do not have contracts. You just pay as you go and it is worth every penney. This dojo has already had such a positive influence on our son's life! Just check it out! Update: My son has now been there over two years. We are still very happy with the personal care he gets. He has had so much fun training and competing in tournaments (and winning some, not others), learning martial arts forms, weapons, and discipline. He also loves playing dodgeball (with soft foam balls) and other games the senseis use to train the younger children. We love the drop off movie nights where the senseis watch the kids, have a movie night and have a pizza party while the parents go on a date! The kids love seeing their karate friends and senseis in street clothes! There are so many nice families here. I also love the convenience of running into Dave's for a few things while my son is training! Very convenient!

    The best thing I've ever done for my son is to send him to consider kenshu ryu. There's a community…read moreof teachers there that support and love and courage their students. While also providing a quality martial arts curriculum. Also by comparison their prices are some of the best I've ever seen.

    Our son started training at Mastery a little over a year ago and it has been one of the best…read moreinvestments ever made! When we started, our son struggled a bit with sportsmanship. Losing at anything was a very hard thing for him. Focus was also extremely difficult. We didn't realize the impact of his training with Mastery until he participated in a Mastery competition shortly after he started. He tried his absolute best and did great...however, he did not win any medals. Instead of getting frustrated or reacting negatively, he fist bumped the winners and congratulated them. We left soon after with him smiling, laughing and simply happy! This meant so much to us! We have watched so much growth since and are incredibly proud of how hard he works! Mastery is so much more than "just" martial arts. They teach core values that our children aren't learning outside of our home. From birthday parties, to summer camp, to family events, to tournaments and so much more....we have developed amazing relationships with other families and our son has created lifelong friends that have the same mindset and determination as my son. We are grateful for this special experience for our son and look forward to his journey to black belt with the Mastery team!!

    Our family has trained with Mastery Martial Arts for 13 years. The journey has been amazing, and…read morehas resulted in our children (who began at ages 3, 7, 10, and 12) are now strong, confident leaders. Their store is not just physical (though that is impressive). Their strength is also in the emotional,, mental, and social aspects of their lives. Much of this is due to the incredible mentorship of the well-trained instructors, who lead by example, every day. Thank you, Mastery, and especially Mastery Cumberland, for all you do to help your students become inspiration for a new generation of children. My granddaughter is now in the program, and I couldn't be more proud or happy.
