Experienced tutor in Karate in Los Angeles, Jay offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Jay is an excellent martial artist, and a very intuitive teacher. He was a Sensei to my 8 year old son and daughter and I was impressed how engaging he was and kept their enthusiasm going (which is hard at that age). The only thing stopping me from being his student is my long production hours on set, otherwise I would be down for it in a heartbeat!

We came to Ojishi in search of an activity to help our son build esteem, confidence, respect, discipline and active listening. I can honestly say that this is hands down the best thing I have ever invested in for my son. He is more confident, happier and doing better in school.
Thanks Sensi Hawk

Sensei Hawk has so much patience with our daughter; virtual lessons with a 5 year who can’t stay still is beyond challenging. He takes his time and has taught her to stay focused with her Tiger Eyes when she gets antsy. It’s a joy to watch someone so dedicated to sharing his art, we appreciate him so much!

I have had the pleasure of training with Sensei Hawk both online and in person. He is not only a great mentor as a martial arts instructor, but as an upstanding human being. His passion and expertise in his craft is clear as day and you can tell he truly loves passing his knowledge on to his students. He has helped me feel more confident in myself through an ever developing set of self-defense skills, life lessons, and even helped me improve my posture (and back pain) through his teachings.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sensei Hawk to ANY and all ages and skill levels of martial artists!

I have had private lessons and small group lessons taught by Jay Hawkins. Jay has a very elegant form like a dancer, as he punches and kicks. He understands sparring. Many of his students I know can spar effectively and win in tournaments. For me personally, it’s important that he understands how a smaller person can fight effectively against a larger opponent. Jay also teaches energy generation techniques so that a smaller sized person can punch with maximum power. He is patient and answers all of my questions in easy-to-understand terms. He can also teach in a variety of martial art styles. Jay is definitely one of the best teachers I have had.

He really helped both my kids not just learn the moves of martial arts, but to focus, calm and build their self confidence in a way that was unique to each child. He is amazing, fun and patient with the kids. And most importantly the kids loved learning from him.

I really enjoy the 101 experience I get with Sensi hawk,
I appreciate the time he takes to explain the techniques.

I was at a point in my life where meditation did have the affect it once did. Sensei Hawkins helped me get back to where I was with an equal amount of physical and spiritual guidance. He not only guided me through the journey but also took it with me.
