About
Bennati's Martial Arts offers training in Isshin-Ryū Karate, including karate classes, sparring, and weapons training with Bo and Sai. The program teaches Isshin-Ryū Karate, a style founded by Tatsuo Shimabuku in 1956 in Okinawa, Japan, which blends elements of Shorin-Ryū, Goju-Ryū, and Kobudō (traditional Okinawan weapons). Classes are available for Tiny Tigers (ages 4–5), Little Dragons (ages 6–7), Juniors (ages 8–12), and Teens & Adults, with a program built around attending at least two classes per week.
• Ages: 4–18 years old
• Schedule: Class options Monday–Friday in the afternoon and evening
• Price: Initial start-up of $99 includes first uniform, bag gloves, and a gear bag. Standard Program is $179 per month for two classes per week; Flex Program is $199 per month for unlimited weekly classes, with discounted paid-in-full options and a $25 discount for each additional family member.
Bennati's Martial Arts was founded in 2015 and is led by Kyoshi Bennati, a 7th-degree black belt with over 30 years of experience. Instructors are described as lifelong martial arts practitioners who have dedicated their careers to passing on Isshin-Ryū Karate. The dojo states that its training emphasizes practical techniques and core values like respect, humility, and perseverance, and that it preserves the principles of Isshin-Ryū, meaning “One Heart Way.” The program has been recognized as Auburn's “Best of the Best” Martial Arts for 8 years running.
The program offers two free trial classes for new students, which require a waiver and comfortable clothing, with the first white uniform (gi) provided upon enrollment and a white belt (obi) given after the first class. The program does not use contracts, includes belts and patches in membership with zero testing fees, and describes its pricing as all-inclusive apart from optional tournaments and required sparring gear and weapons purchases. When students become sparring eligible, they complete their sparring set, and at Green Belt (ages 8 and up), students purchase their own Bo and Sai, which are available in the dojo proshop. An online scheduler is available to book the first trial class and to schedule make-up classes under “Student Resources.”
Bennati's Martial Arts is described as one of the most comprehensive karate dojos and training gyms in Placer County and the Greater Sacramento Area, with two fully equipped floors featuring olympic-grade mats and 6-foot mirrors, hanging and free-standing bags, agility and strength training equipment, a concession stand, a water bottle refill station, complimentary WiFi, two locker rooms with showers, and spectator seating. The program also offers Black Belt Mentorship focused on the physical and mental benefits of martial arts, free private lessons at the instructor's discretion for students in need, and monthly special events such as a Dojo Family Picnic, Halloween Party, and an annual Dojo Family Campout.
Bennati's Martial Arts serves families from many charter schools as a charter-approved vendor, including Arete, American River, Clarksville, Cottonwood, Feather River, Forest, Grass Valley, Harvest Ridge, Horizon, South Sutter, Twin Ridges, and Visions, and also works with Alta Regional.
