Mojo Dojo Karate

My son and I study karate at Mojo Dojo, and we love, love, love being a part of this community of amazing students and families. Hanshi James and Mr. Adam are patient, supportive, rigorous teachers. They are amazing with my son and the other kids because that manage to achieve a rare balance of encouragement and discipline. As a student and teacher myself, I am honored to be on the floor with them, working hard to develop myself inside and out!

Mojo Dojo karate is a Mill Valley gem. I found the Dojo by accident 8 yrs ago when buying a smoothie next door. A crowd had gathered outside the Dojo and I peered in to see a young girl, no more than 9 yrs. testing to move up in rank. Upon proudly earning her next belt, and encouraged by the instructor Hanshi James, she read aloud a letter she had written earlier to herself. It was moving and personal and I could feel the girl surrounded by the caring support of her teachers and peers… Years later and now with two children of my own, I am still moved by that moment. Today, my 7yr. old son and 5yr. old daughter both attend Mojo. I couldn’t be prouder of them or think more highly of their instructor Hanshi James (and co-​instructors). MD is about more than just Karate, its a family affair and one I hope to join myself soon.

i’m floored to only see 1 review for mojo dojo. i trained for many years with hanshi james henry back when he was teaching at his family’s martial arts school in NJ. i can tell you he is a very serious teacher. his skills are incredible. he’s the real thing in a field saturated with people who just aren’t as dedicated or knowledgeable. it’s been an honor to train with hanshi james. he’s instilled martial arts skills that have never left me. i firmly believe that because of the excellent training i got from him, i’ve never appeared as prey to those who might think to harm a petite woman. it is also because of what i’ve learned form him, that i’ve been able to pick up other martial art forms such as tai chi and kung fu with relative ease.
when i attended mojo dojo, i traveled from san francisco and it was well worth it. if you are serious about your martial arts practice and you want training that will have a strong, positive impact on your life, it’s my recommendation you go to mojo dojo. hanshi james and the teachers who work with him do not disappoint.
