I've been training here for 8 yrs now and my 11 year old daughter for 3 yrs. Sensei Lucas is a kind, knowledgeable and skilled martial artist an excellent teacher. He is great with kids, encouraging them to reach new heights of confidence both mentally and physically. As a parent and a student I suggest you try this dojo if you are interested in a traditional style of Karate for yourself or for children.

Our entire family (two adults, one kid) have been training at the Vancouver Dojo for a couple of years now and we have had a very positive experience. It's a smaller dojo with a personal and friendly atmosphere. I am participating in the Tai Chi training. It's a great balance between learning and refining the Tai Chi forms, but also learning the underlying applications originating from martial arts.
Sensei Lucas is an experienced and supportive martial arts instructor. The Vancouver Dojo is an excellent place to practice traditional karate and tai chi. My daughter and I have practiced karate at the Vancouver Dojo for the past two years. We enjoy developing our skills and have made lasting friendships with other students. Sensei Lucas works with each student and helps them discover their own best potential. If you're thinking about studying a martial art like Karate, Jujutsu, or Tai Chi, I highly recommend Sensei Lucas and the Vancouver Dojo.
I train here with my young daughter - it's perfect for us and doesn't fall into any of the negative stereotypes that surround a lot of North American martial arts training. The instructor is very even and relaxed - he wants you to succeed and will push you to a degree that he knows is appropriate for the individual, but there are no overly \macho\ or \militaristic-like\ attitudes here. He keeps it a friendly and safe environment for everyone and doesn't let anyone's ego go unchecked. The dojo offers three types of classes: adult karate, adult tai chi, and kids (plus parents if they'd like) classes. My daughter and I attend the karate classes, while my partner attends the tai chi class. The tai chi taught here is real tai chi - it's not just a type of exercise class, it's a proper martial art and you will be taught how to apply the techniques to defend yourself. In the summer, and if the weather is good, there is also a combined tai chi/karate class on the weekends that is held in a nearby park which makes for a great change of pace. Overall, if you're looking for a great place to train and become part of a small dojo family, this a perfect place to do it.
So thankful for a dojo and community of this calibre on the west side!
