Kaizen Dojo and Fitness Centre — Local services in Dublin

This karate dojo and fitness centre in Terenure is by far the best one in Ireland. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is owned and run by the Perry family, Brendan and Orla, who have created a welcoming and encouraging environment. Brendan's lifelong committment to shotokan karate shines through in class. He is also twice world champion and has won numerous European championships. The dojo caters for all types from young to old, from beginners to international level competitors. The other teachers (sensei) are truly committed, knowledgeable and very good at their job. It is not surprising that those who have trained for years with Brendan now have their children as members.

I returned to karate after 45 years' absence and qualified with a black belt aged 70 in 2021. It is such an excellent dojo that my grandson will be starting there...

Our son has been training with Kaizen Dojo for a number of years now and we cannot reccommend it highly enough. Sensei Brendan is an amazing instructor and, along with Orla, has built a fun and safe environment for all chilren and adults whom train there that is second to none. There is a real community within the club which is very rare. Our son enjoys every second when he is training there and comes out with a smile on his face everytime. He benefits from all his time there, giving him a sense of well being, confidence and happiness along with a complete understanding of commitment and dedication that is a life lesson he will have with him forever. Both Brendan and Orla have been a huge influence in his approach to life and we cannot thank both of...

I rate Kaizen dojo so highly. My son loves attending here and they have helped him progress amazingly along with his own desire to succeed the encouragement and expert training given is showing great results. The owner teaches most of the classes along with other amazing instructors who are so supportive. This is not a dojo where you can just buy your belt, they make you earn it. They really care about their students and want them to learn well. Huge number of events to attend if you want that and everyone from sensei to other parents to children attending are down to earth people truely encouraging of each other. This loyal, supportive and successful dojo makes me so glad my son...
