Real Student Experiences
See What Our
Students Are Saying.
“I've been training with Sensei Ramin for about 6mo now and it's been a fantastic time and has helped me in more ways than one. Getting into my mid 30s I realised I was getting far too sedentary, inflexible, and was getting headaches way too often from being generally tense. Since starting training, my flexibility, mobility, and general body condition are the best they've ever been, and I now rarely get headaches. A night and day change; I only wish I could train more often.”
“I've been training at the Powerhouse for over a year and I absolutely love training here. I have experienced Karate in other dojos but nothing quite compares to what Sensei Ramin does at the Powerhouse. Training is tailored to each person's level and we receive individual feedback on things to improve, training is fun and well organized. Sensei Ramin is very passionate about Karate and that translates into a fantastic experience for us students, propelling us forward as well. If you're ever curious about martial arts, I would 100% recommend The Powerhouse to you.”
“Sensei Ramin is great with kids. He's able to instill discipline and respect in a setting that's fun, something that my 5 year old enjoys! Which is not easy to do :) The work ethic my son's developing is much appreciated.”
“Trained here off and on for a couple of years, I personally think it is the best Shotokan karate training in the city. Excellent, supportive instructors and friendly classmates. As a woman, I found the atmosphere incredibly encouraging. If you are looking for an exciting physical and mental challenge, this is it!”
