Self-Defense Karate for Adults
Who This Is For
Whether you scanned this at one of our events, got it from a friend who trains here, or picked one up at the dojo — this is for any adult curious about karate. We've got members in their 20s and members in their 70s. Some come for fitness, some for confidence, some just to try something new.
What to Expect
- One free class. Come see the dojo, meet the instructors, and try a real class — not a watered-down demo.
- First month at $127. If you like it, your first full month is $127, and we'll set you up with a free uniform.
- No pressure. If it's not for you, there's no obligation to continue.
Why Virginia Dojo
We teach traditional Okinawan Shidokan karate — not a franchise curriculum, not a fitness-class-with-punches. Our instructors include Sensei Roberto Curtis, a 9th-degree black belt, and Denise Coursey, a 4th-degree black belt and co-owner who also leads our women's programs.
Classes are small, and every student trains directly with real instructors, not just assistants.
