Our son really enjoyed his time training here. The dojo has a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere, and Sensei Marcus was patient, encouraging, and excellent with the kids as well as adults. It was also great to see many of the more advanced students helping and encouraging the lower-level students, which really speaks to the positive culture of the school. Stephanie and her staff were also wonderful—very organized, helpful, and great at keeping everything running smoothly. Our son was also happy that one of his school friends trained there, which made the experience even more fun and enjoyable. If we lived closer and our schedules allowed, we would have happily continued his training. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Tokon Martial Arts to families.
This place is the real deal! It’s the best investment for you and your family’s money, time and efforts. I wouldn’t even try any other place in the Sacramento Bay Area. Just glad I discovered this place first. Tokon Martial Arts is the best ! Authentic Karate instructions has roots grounded for thousands of years!
I am a third-degree black belt and have been training at this dojo for 12 years, since about six months after it first opened. It has made Karate a defining part of my life, and I have been able to connect with the community very well in the time that I have been here. Karate at Tokon is taught in a nuanced sense with lessons not only on how to train in Karate, but also on the history and philosophy of the art. Karate has made me a more disciplined and focused person, and has given me more motivation to accomplish things. Although the training here can be rigorous, involving hard work and deep reflection, I definitely recommend people try it out, and many people will find that Karate can be extremely beneficial to the mind and body.
Tokon Martial Arts is a great place to start learning Shotokan karate. The senseis and instructors there are great and very knowledgeable. They take the time to make sure that you are learning properly and set you up for success as you continue growing at the dojo. The community at the dojo is very welcoming. The dojo is a great place for kids to learn and they have a great adult program for anyone starting their karate journey later in life.
