I was trained with Okinawa Karate and Shihan Arakaki for less than a year but I was absolutely…read moreimpressed with the technique, support, sparring time, & teaching styles of Shihan Arakaki. Not only did he teach us the effective way to defend ourselves but also the how and why behind it. His words and advice are memorable and applicable to life. I've moved out of state a while ago but still remember the great time we had back then. I'd definitely sign my kids up for it if we were to live in town. I've seen several youth that were trained since they were little and grew up to be fine young people. Highly recommend Shihan Arakaki and the dojo to anyone looking for a great place for you or your loved ones to be trained in Karate. Life-changing experience for sure!

My son (7) is enrolled in this school. Before joining BIMA my son was enrolled in another school…read more So, I have experience with these type of schools. My son started going to BIMA in Feb 2019. At BIMA, they provide quality education that not only focuses on martial art techniques, but also discipline and respect (for the instructors, the facility, the experience, and one another). The instructors are great with kids. They are firm, but gentle. They seem to really care about each student's success. And, as a result, BIMA kids are really engaged in their education. When my son registered in a tournament, one of the coaches went to the tournament to mentor him, which was really awesome. When I asked my son what he loves about BIMA he said he loves the instructors and learning all the cool techniques. If you are looking for a martial arts school for your kid, look no further. BIMA is awesome!

My son has attended Karate at this location for 7 months. I know the owner will likely try and…read morediscredit my review, but I feel that it is important for people to see. My wife brought up an issue we had (an overly religious paper that had to be done so my kid could get his next belt) and we feel the owner/instructor handled it very poorly. We only wanted to discuss an alternative to the assignment. He responded with anger, was very rude, and unwilling to even remotely have a civil discussion. The assignment is not why I'm writing this review, but because of the way he treated my wife. She was kind and diplomatic, but he didn't show the same level of respect. I noticed over the 7 months that he had a short temper with the kids, but I didn't realize the extent until now. I don't trust him with my child anymore, and If I were you I wouldn't trust him with yours either.

I had inquired about sparring and training, the trainer and the gym has its own way of operating,…read moreallowing the fighters to get heated and not doing anything about the intensity. I had sparred many individuals but it seemed like only a couple were considerate of the nature of actually hurting someone. I had individuals kick at the knees with power and some commit to flying knees when they got frustrated. I ended up leaving earlier than the full class schedule because having two different fighters not knowing control decided to get frustrated and try to hurt their partner. As someone who provides for his family, and who knows control in the ring, the same respect wasn't shown from my sparring partners. In the end it's partially the fighters, but it falls on the coaches to maintain a safe environment for those wanting to train effectively and safely. Anyone can throw power, but ego fighting is the stance at this gym.
