Karate experience

I'm really happy to be learning karate here, not only do we learn the basis of karate from friendly instructors but we also get to learn a little about japanes culture. So If you're visiting Japan don't just go sightseeing come and experience karate too!

An Unforgettable Karate Experience in Tokyo

I had the incredible opportunity to train with Sensei Nori Nakazawa and I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone. It is a truly remarkable chance to connect with an extraordinary budo teacher. Sensei Nakazawa is not only an expert in traditional karate, affiliated with one of the most renowned Japanese associations worldwide, but also an open-minded teacher who has spent years with martial artists from diverse disciplines. His perspective on Japanese martial arts goes far beyond that of a typical sensei. Training with him was a profound experience, not only did I deepen my technical skills, but I also learned how to engage my whole body in harmony, allowing me to reflect the true spirit of karate. The location is amazing, there’s a great atmosphere, a nostalgic vibe like being in a classic 90s movie, having a personal journey with a master. On top of all that, Sensei Nakazawa is a warm, humble, and caring person, always attentive to your needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second,if you want a genuine karate experience, book Tokyo Karate Experience with Sensei Nori Nakazawa.

One time was not enough for me

I am a martial arts practitioner for over 10 years and karate black belt. I came to Nakazawa-san's dojo to learn traditional ways of training and to get back to basics. It didn't disappoint! Nakazawa-san is a great teacher and passionate about karate and sharing his experience and knowledge. I was so inspired by our training session that I returned a 2nd time at the end of my trip. I brought back what I learned to my dojo and am looking forward to return later this year to train and learn more from him. Life-changing experience!

💯🔝🇯🇵An extraordinary and unforgettable experience!!

An extraordinary and unforgettable experience!!! I had an absolutely fantastic and extraordinary experience in Japan thanks to Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience. Participating in the karate lesson held by Nori San with my wife was a fascinating journey into Japanese philosophy and culture, full of unique details and interesting facts about the discipline.Special praise goes to Nori San for his incredible courtesy, extreme professionalism, and the meticulous care put into every single detail, from the technical movements to the deep meaning behind every gesture.I highly recommend this fabulous experience to anyone wishing to discover the true essence of karate directly in Japan.

Budo karate in Tokyo

Beautiful experience that I highly recommend to all karate fans. Noriaki sensei showed me basic aspects of karate budo, starting with Kihon and moving from Kata to Kumite. Karate focused on effectiveness, pure and direct. I couldn't have asked for more. In the chill, post-practice moment, we also had the opportunity to chat about the history of karate and Japan. Highly recommended!

Very authentic experience! A must for karate practitioners.

Having stayed in Japan for half a year, I had the chance to practice together with Nakazawa-sensei several times. Learning from his approach to karate was elucidating and definitely provides for a valuable experience for beginners as well as those who are already further advanced. I enjoyed the many conversations we had after training over one or the other glass of beer and took away many lessons and food for thought to improve my own karate.

absolutely worth it!!

Had the chance to train with Nori San at the Soshikan Dojo in Tokyo. It was an amazing opportunity to experience traditional Japanese Budo Karate Training which definitely makes me want to work on myself and my skills even more. I learned that Karate isn’t just about being strong and fighting but more about the control of body and soul and harmonising both. It’s not only about what you can see but also about what you don’t see and that impressed me the most. The atmosphere was welcoming and Nori San also helped me a lot with organising so I could connect my travel plans to this training. Super thankful for that. After our training we spend some time together and drank a beer near by, which was a great opportunity to connect and get to know each other a little better. I also learned that this is a kind of tradition after training, which means the experience class is not only about the karate itself but includes much more around it. You shouldn’t miss this! Thank you again Nori San and hopefully see you soon! Greetings from Daniel and Inga!

A fabulous experience: authentic and technical

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to train with Noriaki Nakazawa Sensei. It was an exceptional experience, not only because I was able to practice in Japan, in the atmosphere of a traditional dojo, but also because of the quality of teaching. Noriaki Nakazawa Sensei is not only a highly qualified expert, but also an excellent teacher. I was able to progress and advance in my practice, all thanks to his kind and respectful gaze. I returned to France with new knowledge that I was immediately able to apply. What a joy! We were able to extend the experience a stone's throw from the dojo, for a convivial moment in the wine shop of Naka Sensei's brother-in-law. A very pleasant setting where we could continue our exchanges around Karate, Japan, travel... It was a very pleasant moment that allowed to conclude this very rewarding experience. I am very grateful to have been able to enjoy this moment and I will return as soon as possible with pleasure! See you soon!
