Japan International Karate Center

I have always wanted to learn Karate yet put it off for years. I had multiple sports injuries and broken bones in the past with a recent cervical surgery that put my body over the edge and "broken". Traditional physical therapy only made things worse. So about a year ago, at age 45, I decided to take Karate lessons to help repair myself. Since I started at JIKC my physical and mental wellness has definitely improved and I couldn't be more grateful. Sensei Marc is excellent at what he does. He is excellent at pushing your limits and encouraging your commitment. He has instilled a discipline in the younger members that is a direct reflection in their dedication, respect and willingness to help others. Sensei Marc has created a great environment for all ages to learn Karate. Recently my 10 year old daughter has joined the class and I couldn't be happier. I not only want to thank Sensei Marc but everyone else in our class for making me and my daughter feel welcome and continue to encourage us every class. Mahalo JIKC Kapolei Dojo.

Been trying for days to get a hold of anyone, left several messages but no one responded. Well I guess I'll move on to another place or activity for my grandson. Was really hoping to get connected but alas no.

Sensei Marc is AMAZING!!!! This dojo is also extremely family friendly and very well priced! If you are new to karate or have practiced for years this is the dojo for you:)

Absolutely amazing Karate Dojo, Sensai Marc is great with our kids and the other instructors really take their time to teach and make learning karate fun!

Amazing place if you want your kid to learn karate on the west side, my kids love it. Price are reasonable and staff are very friendly.

My son and I attend Kapolei Dojo with Sensei Marc. All the students, parents and Sempai are very kind creating a great learning atmosphere and sense of ohana. Testing happens very regularly, approximately 3 every three months. The rate is extremely fair and the schedule is super flexible, you will always have time to train. The system has approximately 5 dojos to choose from and they make it a point to bring them all together as often as possible through events like the annual beach bash, Battle of the Dojo, and Karate Kamp. I look forward to seeing you in class - OSU

Sensei Marc is a Great teacher!! He is great with kids and is an awesome instructor! All my kids when they are old enough will join karate with Japan International Karate Center ! It teaches discipline and is very fun for both kids and adults . I grew up doing it with my family and it was an awesome opportunity for all of us to bond , get our exercise in , learn something new (karate), compete, and have fun ! I recommend you all to swing by and check it out !

Great place to learn karate with like minded people. Very welcoming and family friendly. The sensei's are patient with the students and they spar with the students to show what they teach. Highly recommend this dojo to any inspiring karate practitioners.

This is not your average dojo!! Sensi Marc is not your average instructor. All of our Children have trained there over the past 3 years. I have watched their confidence grow along with their athletic ability and discipline. Sensi Marc takes the time with each student teaching them a wholistic approach to Martial Arts and treats them like family. We have since moved off island and enrolled our children in another Karate school. The instructors have mentioned many times how impressed they are with the instruction that our kids received while attending JIKC. We recommend JIKC of Kapolei to anyone interested in martial arts.

Our son has been enrolled in several different martial arts classes and Sensei Marc's Japanese International Karate Center is without a doubt the best we have found. He leads the kids with discipline and respect and earns their respect, while at the same time they have a lot of fun and learn a lot. We have moved off the island and can't find another school that can compare. We highly recommend Sensei Marc and JIKC Kapolei. They give individual attention to those who need it.
