I started training here almost a year ago and the experience has been life changing. In the first 3 months I lost 30 pounds and I have never felt younger or healthier before in my life. For anybody thinking of trying BJJ/Martial arts I would highly recommend this place. All the black belts are super friendly and welcoming. I started bringing my son here about 3 months ago as well and he loves it as well. Couldn't be happier with the experience so far. Thank you Kodokan family!
As visiting black belts from Ontario, we had the pleasure of training at Kodokan YYC in Calgary, and we couldn't be more impressed! The dojo offers an excellent environment for martial artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and caters to both kids and adults. Instructors Randy Chung and Walton Chung are outstanding. They are incredibly friendly, approachable, and highly skilled. Their teaching methods are adaptable, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their experience level, can learn and grow. Randy and Walton's ability to engage and motivate students is truly commendable. The atmosphere at Kodokan YYC is welcoming and supportive, making it an ideal place to train. Whether you're a novice just starting out or an experienced martial artist looking to refine your skills, you'll find the guidance and encouragement you need here. We highly recommend Kodokan YYC to anyone in the Calgary area. Thank you, Randy and Walton, for a fantastic training experience!
Our kids train at Kodokan, and we can not say enough positive things about this club and the people who operate it. The professors and coaches take a holistic approach to training with lessons that have application both on and off the mats.
