Japan Karate-Do Judo Jujitsu

This dojo is an awesome place for you and your kids to learn Karate from the devoted Sensei. Sensei Doan is the main instructor for every session. You can always tell he loves what he teaches. The students pay a fixed fee. The good thing is they can come as many times during the week as they want to. Sensei Doan explains how each body shift, arm and leg movement, block, strike, kick in each kata can be used in practical ways. He analyzes kata and extracts fighting techniques from the movements of a «form» (kata). My kids get excited to see how they can apply the techniques they learn in the Katas. They look forward to attend these special sessions of the week.
One thing I like about this Dojo is all students come here to learn. Sensei Doan always emphasizes how important it is for each student to concentrate on the lessons and improve his or her techniques to the next level. He teaches his students to respect themselves to earn the respect from others. As they achieve each level of the belt rank, they improve not only their Karate techniques but also develop their personal characters accordingly.
We believe this dojo is one of the top notch Karate dojos in this local area. If you are serious about learning Karate or Self Defense techniques, we definitely recommend you to check out this Japan Martial Arts Center (Japan Karate-​Do Judo Jujitsu). You wont be disappointed!

Awesome Xmas party Sensei Doan! Thank you for bringing the students and parents together during this holiday season!

I have a 6 years-​old son and like any other parent, I want my son not only be good at school but also be able to avoid bullying and self-​defend when needed. Therefore, I decided to let him join the Martial Arts.
After the decision, it took me months just to find out which Martial Arts best fits him. I spent lots of time going to every single Martial Arts Center in the area including Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu, Aikido, Shaolin Kungfu, and so on to observe and inquire information. What I had found are that they are either not flexible in schedule, requiring contracts, too expensive, or too much contacts as it’s easy to get injury (like Jiu-​Jitsu even though I do want my son to learn and gain confidence from contacts). And most importantly, I’ve never seen any Master teaching the kids as he only let the higher belt ranking students to teach the kids. As the result, I chose this Japan Martial Arts Center in Santa Ana for my son to learn. Here, he can learn Karate, Judo, and Jiu-​Jitsu which, I believe, are the most practical Martial Arts. The Master, Sensei Patrick Doan, really inspires and knows how to teach the kids. My son has joined the center for 6 months and has learned a lot from being disciplined and following instructions to punching, kicking, forming, performing Katas, and you name it. I have much respect and appreciation for Sensei Doan’s Martial Arts background and teaching conscience. He also made it easy and possible for the parents as the price is really affordable, as you can drop your kids at any class of the day, and as many days in the week as you like for the same price with no string attached. I don’t think you can find a second place like this anywhere. Because of all these, my sisters just let their daughters join recently, 2 days ago.
Lastly, talking about the background of the Master, I’m really picky on this because it would be as waste of time, money, and effort if you didn’t choose the right Master. Thus before letting my son join the center, I did a little research and found that Sensei Doan is a 5^th Dan in Shito Ryu Karate-​Do. He has studied Martial Arts for 37 years including Shorin Ryu, Jujitsu and Kodakan Judo. He is a member of USA NKF/​JKF Federation. With his many years of training, hard work and dedication, he has won many competitions and is a 2-​time U.S.A. National gold medalist in Karate-​Do. You can google and find out more about him.
This is a real comment and is not an advertisement as to my understanding, Sensei Doan has never done so. I hope this will somewhat help those of you who are still thinking about where to have your kids join the Martial Arts.
Thanks!
