Kyokushin style karate at Wah Dojo is led by Shihan Wah, who founded Wah Dojo in 1992 and has dedicated more than 30 years to teaching students. The program’s stated goal is “to work hard, dedicate ourselves to the training and forge our mind and bodies to be the best we can be. Be better today than we were yesterday and better tomorrow than we were today.” Wah Dojo interacts regularly with several affiliated dojos and gyms, including Budo Karate in Lafayette, Kin Ryu Dojo in Placerville, Cappa Kyokushin Karate in Northridge, Mires Martial Arts in Concord, Aikido of Contra Costa at Wah Dojo, and D.G. Combat Sports at Studio 925 with Coach Tony De Souza. The dojo offers a New Student FREE TRIAL, month-to-month tuition, and no contracts or package deals, and it promotes a family environment where parents and family members are welcome to stay and watch training. Students are asked to use hand sanitizer, bring their own water, and supply their own sparring gear, as no gear is loaned out.

Parent testimonials describe Wah Dojo as having an intimate and organic atmosphere and a “no nonsense” culture where students are expected to take the art seriously. One parent reports that their child has trained at Wah Dojo from age 5 to 13 and describes the dojo’s culture as a second family. Other parents note that their children train with experienced teachers, including Shihan Wah, and that their families participate together in both youth and adult classes.
