This is a wonderful dojo! Sensei Benita is a wonderful instructor and mentor. She not only teaches her pupils karate skills, but also life skills. It has helped my son improve his stamina, flexibility, balance, and self-control. Highly recommend to anyone interested in trying karate!

Sensei Benita is a fantastic instructor, and my time at the Bemidji dojo has been nothing but positive! Would not have achieved my black belt without Voyageur Shotokan.

My experience with Voyageur Shotokan Karate began when I was 58 years old after watching my grandson at training. It took me eight years, but I earned my black belt at the age of 66. And now, at the age of 74, it still is my best chance to stay fit. If you are a seasoned adult, don't let that prevent you from giving it a try. Sensei is always careful to tell us to do a certain move "if you are able". So age, injuries, and ailments are always considered. It has been an excellent way to keep one's body and mind active!

I started this Dojo around the age of 40. Best decision I have made for myself. I achieved black belt at the age of 50, and continue at this Dojo. It has helped with self-defense, exercise, stamina, balance and mental clarity. Sensei Dingman has been a wealth of information, and also creates our Dojo Community that supports one another.

Exceptional instruction for training mind, body, and spirit to continually improve oneself. Not only does training keep you in shape and feeling great, but it makes you a better person.
