A modest dojo full of quality teaching. Shihan Tony is a phenomenal teacher. His passion for karate shines throughout the dojo as he teaches. The training is very traditional. Traditional karate is based in the art of self-defense and in the art of training the mind/body/spirit. I enjoy training to be precise and perfect in technique. I feel quite lucky and blessed to train at this school. If you want to learn karate with a kind instructor and with an instructor who is clearly skilled, then here is the place you want to train. We have students who are training because they want to learn self-defense. We have some who want to strengthen their bodies to help heal previous injuries. Some of us train here because we want the most traditional training. There are both men, women, boys & girls training here. I trained years ago in a different style and I loved it because it was traditional. I have been looking for another dojo since then. This is the school that I have found my home again in Karate.

I usually don’t write long reviews but this one deserves it! I have been amazed with the changes. Our family had the chance to train with Sensei Tony in Fairfax and let me just say… it was the best martial arts experience we have had! The Marin Goju Karate Dojo teaches traditional Goju Ryu so if you like Karate that teaches you to perfect your basics, improve your fitness, and wash away the stress, this is the Dojo for you. My daughter is excelling in the kids program and because the classes are by design, smaller than other schools, she gets all of the attention she needs to improve at her own pace. She loves it and I have seen the difference in her focus, behavior and discipline. There’s plenty of parking in the back of the Dojo space and when you want to reward yourself for all that hard training, you’re just a ½ block from Scoop! LOL Highly recommended for kids and adults.
