Our 2 boys ages 5 & 7 have been at this Dojo now for a little over a year. We started as soon as the pandemic was allowing businesses to reopen. It was something we were trying to get the boys out of the house to be able to do. They have always followed all rules and kept the facility very clean. Sempai Mike & Sempai Emily have been our boys instructors and they have been amazing. We have even been able to participate in 1 tournament and we had the best time! The prices are very reasonable and times work out well with our schedules. Kim Jin and Kai Jin and Sensei Dwight are all great to work with as well! I would definitely say overall one amazing Dojo! Love the teaching style as well!

We love it! Karate has been great for our kids. And the instructors are great.

I took my 5 year old son here today to begin his journey into martial arts. Not knowing what to expect, I was welcomed with the utmost professionalism and a real sense of caring for their students. I was blown away with their ability to work with children and how well my son responded to them. Due to this ability and the compassion they show to their students (I witnessed this during my tour), my son now begins tomorrow! If you are thinking about entering your kids into martial arts or even thinking about entering yourself, I highly recommend you give this place a chance and let them wow you as they did me.

A friend of mine invited my 12 year old niece who is visiting from out of town to go to a karate lesson. She enthusiastically said she would love to go. They welcomed her into the class like an old friend! We also stayed over to watch one of the older groups in their lesson. The dojo was clean and tidy, and the kids were very respectful and they had a lot of fun. We got invited to return for the next class, which is exactly what we will do!! I also talked to the sensei/aka teacher, and he said since my niece is visiting, he would try to find a place for her to continue her karate classes from her home town of Tucumcari! I was veey pressed with the kindness and professionalism of the staff here!

My son loves his Karate class at Shorei Ryu Karate Studio! They are great people and do a fabulous job!

Instructors are very caring and supportive of their students. Also they teach great Okinawan traditional Karate.

We highly recommend Shorei Ryu Karate Studios!!!! I honestly feel so lucky to have found this place. My daughter was in love her very first class. Their teaching approach is amazing! I can’t wait to watch our kiddos grow and learn at Shorei Ryu Karate! Thanks for having us!

I started bring my two boys at the end of February to the pre-skilled class that was being offered, and I have to say how friendly and great everyone has been. Mika who teaches the pre-skilled is so patient and friendly with them while teaching. Unfortunately with the Covid-19 we had to transition to online training temporarily, but even with that, Dwight has been great in getting the schedule set up. I will be very excited to go back once this whole thing is over. If you’re looking for a karate studio who will educate and teach your children, I would I highly recommend this one.Holly R. Schick

I love this school. They take it seriously and the teachers are skilled and know what they’re doing. Learning is satisfying and sparring gives you a chance to practice and apply what you’ve learned. Would recommend for anyone wanting to learn martial arts.

Shorei Ryu Karate Studios is the best place in Rio Rancho!1. perfect location2. great price for family that wants to do things together3. friendly environment, this place treats its student and their parents as a part of dojo family.4. Sensei Dwight is the great teacher with lots of knowledge and experience.I would recommend anyone to try out the free session and see why this place is great.

The classes are amazing to start off and the people there are kind and humble when people misbehave it is dealt with sometimes push-ups and other times they get talked to about why they did what they did. The classes have helped me gain stamina strength and teaches me mental things as well it helps with many things and you should try it if you get the chance to get a class. Oh and they give you a free class to make sure you like it or not.

This is a great school for your children my daughter has learned a lot in a short amount of time

I was a student here in shorei ryu karate studios and overall my experience was great and awesome and the kids were always nice and respectful and my sensi was a great teacher and help out with a lot of things and taught me how to have patience and positivity even though I dont go here no more I still keep all my awards and and keep on practicing the things they taught me. Go shorei ryu karate studios!!!

My daughter has gone from a scared child with no confidence to a warrior realizing her worth as a person and feeling good about the hard work she puts in to being herself. She had become a strong young woman with self- driven goals and aspirations. I love this dojo and the positivity they have brought to my daughter and to our family.

Love this dojo! Sensei is amazing with my son and all the students. My son has gained confidence and truly looks forward to his classes! So glad we chose Shorei Ryu above the other karate studios in Rio Rancho.

I had been looking for some type of martial arts for my sons for awhile. Either they were too expensive or didnt have have enough options or just didnt give me a good feeling. I saw a new sign for a karate dojo near the boys and girls club and emailed them. They told me they had a family rate if I wanted to come as well, so my boys, daughter, and I joined. Not only have a found a wonderful dojo, but also a new family. The owner is a former Marine and he and his wife are amazing. He is a wonderful teacher, firm but fun. We could not be happier. My kids have done some martial arts before but I truly believe they are learning so much more and are so much more prepared here at Shorei Rye. If I could give it 6 stars I would!!!

Amazing place to bring the whole family. Wonderful family environment and sensei is great with the kids. Great learning experience for my son!

The sensei is very knowledgeable and patient and teaches real traditional karate along with all the other attributes that come with it such as discipline, self confidence and a sense of belonging as well as accomplishment. I recommend this school for all ages and experiences.

Very kind and really nice Sensei, my kids are learning a lot. I Highly recommend this studio

Such an absolutely wonderful facility! We are thrilled to have our son a part of this karate family! We’ve been looking for something extra curricular for our 4-year-old son. We were thrilled to find Shorei Ryu which is only 15 minutes from our home. We’ve always talked about getting our kids into karate but we were disappointed to learn that many dojos do not take children until they are 6/7 years old. Shorei Ryu not only accepts younger children, but they actually take the time to teach the karate fundamentals to the littler ones. My son is already memorizing terms, learning how to respect the dojo and sensei, as well as learning proper punching, standing, and kicking techniques. He is also being taught discipline and how to carry himself while in the dojo - and he is having an absolute BLAST doing so!! His confidence has already shot up after 2 classes, he is always eagerly awaiting his next karate class, and he is taking pride in earning stripes and belts.I feel I should also add that while my son is learning the karate essentials, he is also having FUN while doing so. Sensei is phenomenal with children and he has the perfect balance of discipline, fun, and teaching down to an art. The dojo isn’t part of a chain which already says a lot. Everyone knows each other and there is a very friendly and cozy vibe to the place. I could go on, but let me just conclude with this - if you are looking to learn karate, look no further because Shorei Ryu will meet your or your child’s needs. Be prepared for learning, discipline, and fun! Being a part of Sheri Ryu is like being part of a wonderful karate family! It doesn’t get much better than this!

I love this place I am a student here and the sensei is very kind I highly recommend it. I love that the sensei challenges you but not to the point where you cant do it and he makes you belive in yourself I have really enjoyed karate.He is very nice yet serious. I have grown very close to him his son and wife. My brother and I love it here.😀💖💚

Family driven karate dojo. Our kids are taking Karate classes and the rest of the family is in kick boxing.

We love having our son in this Dojo. His confidence and skills has grown tremendously. Check this place out

This is my new home away from home. Sensei is amazing with the kids. He has created a welcoming environment. This has been very good for my whole family. Very happy that shorei ryu is in my neighborhood now. I highly recommend trying it out.

From the minute we walked in and started talking to sensei dwight we knew this was the dojo we would be going to. Very family oriented. Classes flow well and are taught very well with good explanations.

Sensei Bossong was amazing with my kids. He was able to help instill discipline away his dojo and at home

Im so happy I found this school! The sensei is 9 tlme world champion! I have been taking martial arts off and on for many years, I love to compete in tournaments. He is a perfectionist and wants his students to succeed. The senseis first student also a world champion. The sensei will teach your children to focus to be respectful and elevate their standards,also to be a champion if that is your goal I almost forgot to mention that I am a disabled Veteran Sensei easily accommodates my disabilitys.

Cant wait until this place opens in September... Traditional karate is what Rio Rancho needs...

Great school. Great sensei

A great experience for the whole family.

Great place to learn karate

My son goes here.
