This is the place I enjoy myself. Sencei Dirk teaches us amazing skills. Until you join us you will not believe

Sensei Dirk is simply amazing. From teaching the little ones to black belt teenagers. His patient and dedication to his craft is amazing to watch. My youngest son has grown in confidence since he has started training at the Jion martial arts centre. It is now the highlight of his week when training day arrives. Thank you Dirk. We need more amazing role models like you for our children to look up to.

My son has been doing karate for about 4 years now and has gone through many phases, enjoying it especially the fun and games at the end of the lesson to not always enjoying it because of the discipline and age appropriate consequences (push ups) as he got older. He went through a phase of wanting to quit but was encouraged to continue and when we started lockdown sensei had us sending videos daily of his kata and he spent so much time one on one via zoom to make sure my son never fell behind. This helped my son gain so much confidence in himself, he also graded twice that year and is still enjoying the sport. Sensei Dirk is passionate about karate, our kids and self defense.
