Welcome to Minakami Karate Dojo Hawaii!

The Minakami Karate Dojo Hawaii (MKDH) was founded in 2002 by Sensei Sean Roberts. Roberts Sensei, like his mentor Shihan Akio Minakami, is an internationally recognized authority on the history and techniques of traditional Japanese martial arts.

MKDH offers a safe, balanced, positive and fun environment that promotes the development of physical fitness and personal character. The dojo holds classes at two locations, the University of Hawaii at Manoa Athletic Complex and the Kapiolani Community College Chapel near Diamond Head Crater. At MKDH, we welcome students of all ages and abilities.

Observing a class
If you are interested in joining our school, stop by and watch our instructors and students in action at one of our eight weekly practices. See the calendar page for more information.

Joining MKDH
If you are new to karate and are interested in joining our Dojo community, you may enroll in one of our three-week beginners' classes, offered each month. This is a minimal commitment which allows you to get a taste of karate. You will be introduced to the basic techniques and components of Minakami Karate, including basic techniques (kihon), forms (kata) and sparring (kumite). The fee for the beginners' series is only $30.

Those with previous karate training experience are welcome to join us at our regularly scheduled classes. Please arrive ten (10) minutes prior to class start time so we may discuss your previous karate experience. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at (808) 277-7219 or minakamikaratedojo@hotmail.com. We look forward to introducing you to the challenges and rewards of karate!
