Imazaki Dojo

My daughter is on her 3^rd round of classes and she is doing awesome! She looks forward to class each week, that’s not happen before with any other classes she had taken.
I think they do a great job and work really well worth the kids, she is learning a lot and repays the end of class mantra at home all the time.
Very happyand will be keeping her in classes for a long time!

Sensei Seijo and Senpai Joy are expert instructors who have the unique ability to work with all ages from pre-​school to adult. The atmosphere they create is one not only rigorous in content and instruction, but also one of community. Highly recommended for the entire family.

I manage about one yoga class a week here, I’m far from an expert. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Instructors are wonderful and accommodating and small classes allow for personal attention. I always feel great when I leave. Highly recommend, plus the first class is free.

Our daughter has been going to the Dojo since she was three– she has a great time and we really love seeing her normally quiet self really thrive and kick «Osu» in this environment. Sensei Seijo and Sempai Joy do an extraordinary job at both engaging and challenging children at an age appropriate level. My husband was taking her to the classes and was so impressed and liked it so much that he then enrolled in the adult classes! Our family really loves the dojo and staff, and I highly recommend you go and check it out.

The Imazaki Dojo rocks! I first met Seijo in June and have worked with him ever since. Not only Seijo is an awesome Karate teacher, he also volunteered his time as one of our guest speakers for my summer internship program at Columbia College Chicago. Seijo is such an inspiration for the students and they all loved him. :) My husband and I joined Imazaki Dojo in November and we absolutely love it! We met great people at the Dojo.
Seijo is very passionate about karate and teaching. He teaches us techniques and discipline, plus it’s wonderful to be able to learn new things at the dojo. Seijo is great at working with people with different skill levels. No matter if you are a new comer, or if you are skilled in karate, Seijo makes sure that you will be benefited from his classes.
I am so happy that we are able to work with Seijo and I am planning to learn from him until I advance to the black belt! :)

Our friend recommended to try a class and are so happy we did. Our 5 yr old son was going somewhere else on the weekends and during the week started going here. He likes it so much that wants to go 3 times a week to this school! I think he likes the fact that they implement games in their teaching and make it much more fun to learn. At the end of each class Sensei Seijo does his oath where kids promise to implement karate to good work and do their homework without being asked. Our son now always asks for his homework way before it’s due and asks not to tell the teacher when he is being naughty. We love the influence of Sensei Seijo :) Our 3 yr old daughter started classes too and is still a bit shy but I see the little girls her age that started a bit sooner and were just as shy are more confident and not so shy anymore. Also our Japanese is getting better with each class :) They use their karate vocabulary through out the class. Osu!
A happy Mom.
