Frequently Asked Questions
What is Find My Dojo?
Find My Dojo is a free service that helps parents and families find authentic, traditional karate schools
in their area. We connect you with dojos that teach respect, confidence, and discipline — not just hand out belts.
How does Find My Dojo work?
Parents simply send us a message about their child — things like age, goals, and location. From there,
we personally match you with a traditional dojo that fits your family’s needs. No forms, no hassle — just a direct connection.
Do I have to pay to use Find My Dojo?
No — our service is 100% free for parents. We believe every family deserves access to traditional martial
arts without extra costs.
How do you choose which dojos to recommend?
We research schools based on:
• Their lineage and style (traditional karate roots)
• The quality and credentials of instructors
• Emphasis on values like respect, discipline, and confidence
• Honest pricing and transparent practices
We only recommend schools we’d send our own kids to.
What if there aren’t any traditional dojos near me?
If we can’t find a match in your area, we’ll let you know — and may recommend reputable online training
resources or nearby alternatives.
My child has ADHD/shyness/low confidence — is karate a good fit?
Yes! Traditional karate is great for kids who need structure, focus, and confidence. We’ll help you find a
school that knows how to work with children of all personalities and needs.
At what age can my child start karate?
Many schools accept kids as young as 4–5 years old, while others begin at 6–7. We’ll connect you with
schools that fit your child’s age and readiness.
How much does karate usually cost?
Prices vary by school and location. Traditional dojos typically charge a monthly tuition and may have
occasional uniform or belt test fees. We’ll help you compare options so there are no surprises.
Can adults join too?
Absolutely! Karate is for all ages — parents often train alongside their kids. We can recommend schools
with strong adult programs as well.
