Nolyn and Jennifer took my son in with open arms! You can see a difference in him every single time he goes to practices. Nolyn is a very good trainer that helps my son and is very patient with him! My son loves going to classes! This was the best move I could make for my son! I would recommend Daruma Dojo Karate to anyone!
There is something for everyone here and Nolyn is dedicated to helping his students succeed. Best karate school in Richmond!
This has been a great experience for my kids. Positive environment, fun and challenging, encourages confidence and self discipline.
We love this karate school. Our kids get a lot of individualized attention during their class time. This is the only karate place we have ever used and we have seen both of our kids achieve developmental milestones, improve muscle tone and posture, increased focus, and resilience, and have a newfound confidence because of the work done through these classes. It is also fun to see new kids come in and have so much fun. Both of our kids are neurodivergent with ADHD and autism. The class culture is very encouraging, even of children who struggle to achieve skills. We also love their current curriculum as it is teaching our children agility. Cannot recommend enough.
Nolyn and the staff are fabulous with the kids and give specific attention to what they need! I love his passion combined with skill!
My daughter has learned so much from her teacher! She really loves her time training.
My oldest has been learning at Daruma Dojo for 2 years and my youngest started about 6 months ago and they both love it! Nolyn sensei is really good with children. He teaches students how to listen actively, show respect, and follow the rules but he also makes the class interesting and fun!
