About
Karatedo Doshinkan offers training in both mixed martial arts and traditional karate, providing a comprehensive approach to martial arts education. The gym focuses on developing technical skills while fostering discipline and respect among its members. Facilities are equipped for various training needs, accommodating practitioners at different skill levels with dedicated coaching staff who emphasize proper form and technique.
Members report transformative experiences, with one parent noting how instructors worked with their child in a wheelchair to successfully perform a karate kick, highlighting the gym's inclusive and adaptive teaching methods. This dedication to individual progress creates a supportive environment where students can achieve personal milestones regardless of physical limitations. The coaching style appears to blend traditional martial arts values with practical application.
While the training itself receives high praise, some community members have expressed concerns about political discussions extending beyond the gym. One reviewer mentioned an incident where a member approached their vehicle to criticize political stickers, raising questions about how gym culture interacts with the broader community. This feedback suggests that while the internal training environment is positive, external interactions involving members may warrant attention.
reviewsWhat Members Say
Members praise the gym's coaching staff as "miracle workers" who create inclusive training environments, with one parent specifically noting instructors successfully teaching karate kicks to a child in a wheelchair. The training experience receives consistently positive feedback for its effectiveness and supportive atmosphere. However, one reviewer expressed concern about political harassment from a member outside the gym, describing an incident where they were berated for vehicle stickers and now worry about parking near the establishment. This isolated complaint contrasts with the overwhelmingly positive feedback about the actual training and instruction.

I love how one of your members came out to my truck and berated me for my political stickers on my vehicle. While you cannot assume responsibility for their ignorance, you ought to encourage them not to harass random people in their vehicles who don't share their political ideas. Furthermore I worry about parking my vehicle in front of your establishment and fear of vandalism.
