Our Head Instructor has 40+ Years of experience training with Grand Master Seikichi Iha, 10th Degree and is now one of his senior students. He trained US Embassy Security Personnel, US Marines, foreign security agents, and people like you. All instructors at the Virginia Dojo have at least 10 years of experience training in Beikoku Shidokan Karate.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer assigned to a remote rural area I had no one to practice karate with so I started teaching young people in my town and discovered I liked teaching and people liked learning with me. Upon returning to the United States I started grad school, plus I met and started training with Grand Master Seikichi Iha. When I finished my MS degree and moved to Washignton DC, my Sensei Iha told me to find students so I could continue to progress. When stationed overseas I would train US Embassy Security Personnel, US Marines, foreign security agents, and people like you. During US assignments I would always develop a cadre of dedicated students.
In 1979 after 10 years of martial arts ramblings I became a direct student of Grand Master Seikichi Iha and have trained with him ever since in Okinawan Shidokan Shorin Ryu.
I worked through our system and attained the rank of 8th degree in 2016. I attained the Kyoshi, Master Instructor, title and 7th Degree in 2008.
I also have a certificate in Martial Arts Fitness Instruction and a certificate in Self Defense Instruction.
During my overseas diplomatic assignments, I trained US Marines, US Embassy Security Officials, foreign security operatives and people like you in proven effective self defense applications.
I am a member of the MidWest Regional Shidokan Black Belt Promotion Board and the National Shidokan Black Belt Promotion Board. I am also a member of the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society.

We go over a few of the basic techniques and start them in class with other students. We progress intially through a few basic kata (formatted movements) and then have a senior student work new students to go over the techniques and self defense applications while the class continues with more advanced work. The new student rejoins class when we start partner work so they begin to understand the self defense applications of the techniques they just learned. This ensures that every day and in every class Beginner students learn and can apply effective self defense techniques.
I have trained active duty military, Secret Service, US Embassy Security Personnel, FBI, DEA, the police, foreign security personnel, and people just like you.
First decide what you want from your training. a. Do you want to compete and win trophies? If so search for another school. What we learn for self defense is prohibited in tournaments. b. If you want to learn the art of self-defense karate we will show how to quickly use what you learn. c. Join us if you are interested in losing weight, boosting self control, improving self confidence, increasing flexibility or just want to learn the art of karate in a friendly, traditional Okinawan school.
It is important you view the class you will take, hopefully try a few trial classes, to see how you feel about the classes, the members, and the instructor.
Avoid signing a long-term contract that locks you into multi-year payments. While it is cheaper with a contract, after a month or so you may decide you are no longer interested.
I am also proud to watch people develop their skills and improve their self control and self confidence.
I am very proud of witnessing my students overcome personal challenges to test for their Black Belt in front of the National Black Belt testing committee.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you want to get out of karate?
What is your curriculum? Did you make it up or is it a national/international curriculum?
What is the payment schedule?

The best place to start your martial arts journey.
Alexander Torres reviewed Virginia Okinawan Karate Dojo — 5 star
February 6 at 10:00pm ·
In the short time that I have been training at Virginia Okinawan Karate, I've learned so much about kata and how every movement has a practical application. Sensei teaches in a fun, motivating way. The upper belts are always willing to stay around after class to help you.
While my schedule is busy, every minute of training with Sensei and the class is invigorating and motivating.
I've trained for more than 10 years in other styles and recently just came back to martial arts. I am so grateful to have found this place.
I highly recommend training at Virginia Okinawan Karate. The class structure and curriculum is ideal for adult practitioners. You'll have fun and learn practical self defense skills.View more recommendations
