OUR STUDENT’S TESTIMONIAL
Rebekah Mitchell
Single Mom feedback on Google
“More Than Karate, It Became a Life-Changing Family Journey”
As a single mom of two, I originally came to Azadani Dojo looking for martial arts for my children. After their first trial class, they loved it, and watching them inspired me to try it myself. When I first walked into the dojo, I was recovering from multiple strokes, dealing with paralysis, obesity, and high blood pressure. I knew I needed to take better care of myself, and joining Kyokushin Karate became a turning point in my life.
Today, I am stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually. The support and sense of family at Azadani Dojo have meant more to me and my children than I can put into words.
I highly recommend Shihan Azadani and Azadani Dojo to children, teens, and adults of all ages. Kyokushin-kan is truly my family for life.
“Authentic Karate, No Compromises”
Azadani Dojo is authentic Japanese Kyokushin Karate that does not compromise on standards or quality. This is no “McDojo”; anything you gain training at this school you will have truly earned. I highly recommend this dojo for anyone looking for true old school Budo Karate.

“Finding Strength, Family, and Purpose”
I feel like I am where I belong with family. Shihan Azadani pushes me to be the best version of myself. I have learned mental and physical conditioning, respect and self-control. I am looking forward to competing in competitions in my near future and showing my skills to everyone. I am proud to be a student of Shihan Seyar Azadani and the Azadani Dojo. -L.J.
