Amazing dojo. Both kids go here and they love it. Cant recommend highly enough

Staff are polite, welcoming and professional. Since he’s started at Dojo, my son has learnt far more than just Karate. He has learnt about discipline, patience and respectfulness and hopefully by progressing through the grades, it’s also boosted his confidence.

I am 10 years+ into my karate journey & the desire to learn grows. Gabriel’s teaching is simply first class! It would not be an exaggeration to say it has been physically & mentally transformative. I’m so glad I found this dojo. My 3 daughters all train here, they too have reaped the benefits. Joining this dojo community has be thoroughly rewarding.

Fantastic Karate teaching, super nice team led by Gabriel. My daughter has been progressing over the past few years and always enjoys it, gaining confidence beyond Karate… a school for life !

Fantastic school, highly recommended! My son is 9 and has been attending for two years. He’s grown in confidence and really enjoys his lessons.

Great Dojo my son has been attending for two years. The sensei’s are good and make the sessions fun. The Dojo is definitely worth a visit.

We have seen a quick progression in our son’s behaviour from attending Dojo Van Rel’s classes. His karate instructor Bertie has been steadfast and so generous with his teaching- and it has really had a POSITIVE effect in our son’s level of confidence in himself. I encourage anyone, young and old, to sign up and learn from this Dojo. If I could I would give it 10 stars!

My son loves these classes. All the instructors are so patient, encouraging and build a real sense of team, care snd discipline among the students. A brilliant investment for our children’s future and I highly recommend!

I have been attending dojo van rel as an adult for more than 10 years. Sensei Gabriel achieves a fantastic balance between taking karate seriously and having great fun. The atmosphere is extremely warm and supportive. Everyone wants everyone else to succeed and improve. There is good mixture of kata, kihon and kumite. You go at your own pace and inline with your own ability. I can not recommend this dojo and everyone who teaches or learns there highly enough. I am so grateful I found this dojo all those years ago. I've learned much more than just karate techniques, I've learnt the spirit of karate.

My six year old daughter started at Dojo Van Rel a couple of months ago. She has really enjoyed it so far. I like how the classes have a mix of ages in them; the older kids help to demonstrate to the younger ones and they’re often paired together. The teaching is excellent. In addition to the kids being physically challenged, they are taught about discipline, respect and confidence with real kindness. My daughter just had her first grading, which was such a great experience for the parents and the children. It’s lovely to see the children rising to the challenge of a new belt and to see the senseis fostering their karate skills and confidence. I had no experience of karate before, but I’m so pleased my daughter started here. Lots of local families we know all come here and I would really recommend these classes to anybody!

I can't recommend this dojo highly enough - Seisei Gabriel and his team are wonderful. He knows each child well and will take the time to build their confidence and help them work through any moves they find difficult. Both my children have attended for years and get a huge amount out of these classes, both in terms of technical knowledge and general confidence and discipline. I recommend this dojo to all my friends - definitely worth doing a trial at the very least!

Would really recommend Dojo Van Rel - Gabriel and all the team work so hard to support the students. My son has been there for 3 years, and he enjoys every lesson. He has learnt amazing Karate skills, as well as confidence and control.
