Sensei Sandra is such a dedicated teacher. The dojo has been really great for my son. I think it has provided him with confidence and discipline in the art of karate. The Okukan community has also been amazing. Sensei has fostered a great community for the children.

Sensei Sandra is a very passionate Martial Art teacher. My son really enjoyed the class. She teaches kids not only Karate but also caring, responsibility and respect and so on. We could not recommend OKUKAN Karate and Sensei Sandra enough!

My son joined Sensei Sandra's dojo a year ago - a slightly distracted 6 year old. Sensei Sandra showed great patience, perseverance and care to guide him through his White belt kata - and getting to Yellow was very special! Okukan is a respectful and safe space for children to learn karate - it really is an art form. Meg's support from the admin side is also terrific - nothing is ever difficult. Highly recommended by our family.

Thank you for all the amazing work you do with the students through Okukan. Our son has benefited so much from the classes and Sensei Sandra's balance between firm but gentle guidance and tuition. The classes have helped our son with focus, concentration, perseverance, listening and eye contact - just to name a few! It's also really great for his general health, well being and fitness.

The grading process helps children work toward and achieve a goal. The excited and proud look on the student's faces when they receive a new belt is so delightful to watch!
