Sensei Holley is the perfect individual to learn a martial art from. The martial arts are about building your character as a human being even more so than the skills you will develop to be a fighter. Sensei truly teaches shotokan karate as Master Funakoshi had intended as a self defense. Sensei is humble and has the true spirit of budo. He teaches us first to avoid a confrontation and if a confrontation can't be avoided how to end it using only as much force as necessary to escape the situation. Taking a class with sensei will not only help you develop the skills needed to defend yourself and others but how to be a respected member of the community that others can look up to because of the quality of your character. I haven't met an individual at our dojo that doesn't hold Sensei in the highest regard. I respect this man as much as humanly possible and am proud to say that my karate lineage comes from this great man. My wife and I have been training under Sensei for 2 years on and off and just recently obtained our green belts. Sensei is fair but will make you earn your belts so expect to advance slower than some other dojo's. This is a good thing though because you will have not only earned your belt but have the experience necessary to preform what you have learned well. So please come join us. You will get a great work out, You will learn a lot about yourself physically and mentally and you will accomplish things you didn't know you could.

I no longer attend this Dojo, as I moved out of town, but when I did in 2009, it was recognized as the premier training study in Cincinnati. My experience was as such, world class training, great instructor, personal training. Would recommend to everyone, any age.

We trained under the guidence of Kyoshi Holley In 1 hr sessions What impressed me the most was Kyoshi Holleys attention to detail and his dedication to his students. And his dedication to martial arts The only thing that would have improved my expereience with Kyoshi Holley is me

My daughter has been a student at this dojo for 11 years. I couldn't ask for a better teacher! He is amazing! It's very difficult to keep a child entertained with one activity for such a long time and I'm confident it's because of Dwight Holley. I would highly recommend him, and this dojo, to anyone interested in martial arts! You will not be disappointed!
