I can't speak highly enough of this wonderful Dojo and the balance created by Sensai Sandra, Meg and the students. My daughter loves it and has developed so much strength, respect, dedication, and self-belief under Sensai's guidance. I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Horrible staff especially the coordinator. Don't know how they run a business being so rude and aggressive. Not to mention they disclosed my personal information about my payments online in another review. Absolutely disgusting and unprofessional

Okukan Karate is great for kids. Teaches karate skills, discipline, team work and the importance of being physically active. A great space for kids to learn balance, my son really enjoyed the challenges he was faced and being able to learn to deal with them.

My child has been part of this Dojo for the last few years. We are moving so sadly having to leave. We have had a brilliant time. Sensei Sandra is a wonderful teacher and the Dojo is both lovely and professional. We couldn’t recommend more highly.

Wonderful atmosphere for children to learn. Excellent balance of respect for the discipline and encouragement; and very supportive. Sensei Sandra is very good. The staff are very professional and friendly and the administrative processes are always handled with ease.

Our daughter started karate training at Okukan before lockdown and couldn't wait to get back into it after lockdown. The benefits have been more than physical. She's grown in confidence and is motivated by Sensei Sandra's calm ways. We feel like it's a really special place where her development is encouraged and supported. Thanks to Sandra and Meg for all they do.
