At JKA Virginia, we welcome anyone in reasonable health to join our Karate training programs.

Student Feedback

Discover how our karate classes transform lives and build character.

We recently signed up both of our children at JKA Virginia @ YMCA and could not be more pleased. Sensei Hanjani strikes an amazing balance of patience, motivation, education and discipline. They are learning so much and I’m already seeing changes in their confidence.
