Kids' martial arts classes in Okinawa

55 dojo and clubs that mention children's or youth classes

Martial arts are one of the most popular after-school activities in Okinawa. This page lists 55 dojo, clubs and gyms whose listing mentions classes for children or youth: Kendo, Iaido & Jodo (28), Judo (8), Karate (6), Kobudo (Okinawan weapons) (4), Kickboxing & Muay Thai (4), Aikido (4).

Many karate dojo teach children too, even when their listing does not say so, so do not rule out a dojo near you because it is missing here. Browse the karate list or your area and ask.

Questions to ask before you join
  • From what age do they take children, and is there a separate kids' class?
  • Monthly fee (月謝), joining fee, uniform cost and sports insurance (スポーツ保険).
  • Whether parents can watch, and whether they need to help with events or tournaments.
  • Whether they can explain things in English, if your child does not speak Japanese.

Most kids' classes run on weekday evenings after school, and schedules change in school holidays. A trial visit (見学, kengaku) is the usual first step; see dojo etiquette and our beginner guide for phrases.
