Sasaki's Kenpo Karate

Join us in wishing Sifu Marilen a happy birthday today!

There is just something awesome about moments like this.

Before class, our Little Dragons were sitting in a circle with their junior instructors, talking, laughing, and getting ready to start class. It may seem like a small thing, but these are the kinds of moments that help young students feel comfortable, connected, and excited to be here.

Our junior instructors do such a great job connecting with the kids, and that connection matters. It helps our Little Dragons build confidence, make friends, and enjoy the learning process every step of the way.

At Sasaki Kenpo, we love teaching martial arts, but we also love creating an environment where kids feel supported, encouraged, and part of something special.

At Sasaki Kenpo, we believe we are in the business of building more than martial artists.

Yes, we teach karate. But we also believe our role is to be a mentor, a guide and a helpful resource for parents who want to raise strong, respectful, confident and well-rounded kids.

That is one of the things that makes martial arts so special. The lessons learned on the mat carry over into everyday life. Kids learn how to focus, listen, show respect, work through challenges and believe in themselves. And as instructors, we take that responsibility seriously.

We are grateful that so many families trust us not just as their child’s karate school, but as part of their support system. It takes a village to raise great kids and we are proud to be part of that village.

If you are looking for a positive activity that helps your child grow on and off the mat, Sasaki Kenpo is here to help.

Once a Sifu, always SK family. 🥋

One of the things we love most is when our Sifus who are away at school or living out of town come back to visit.

This past weekend, we were pleasantly surprised to have both Sifu Arturo and Sifu Rezel stop by and not only did they visit, they jumped right in and helped judge at our Intra-School Tournament.

That’s what makes Sasaki Kenpo special. No matter where life takes our students and instructors, they always have a home here.

Thank you, Sifu Arturo and Sifu Rezel, for coming back, supporting the next generation, and being such great examples for our students.

At Sasaki’s Kenpo Karate, our goal has never been to only help kids succeed on the mat.

Yes, we want them to learn their techniques, earn their stripes, improve their forms, and build their self-defense skills.

But the bigger goal is what happens off the mat.

We want to see our students walk into school with more confidence, show more respect at home, stay focused when things get challenging, and become the kind of leaders others can look up to.

Martial arts is what we teach, but life skills are what we build.

If you’re looking for something positive for your child in Oxnard, we’d love to help them grow one class at a time.

Confidence. Discipline. Respect. One Class at a Time.

Sometimes our students get a little carried away with how much they love their instructors… literally. 😂

At Sasaki’s Kenpo, our instructors don’t just teach karate — they build confidence, friendships, and the kind of positive connection kids never forget.

This is what growing up on the mat is all about. 🥋❤️

Next week, Sifu Javi will be graduating from high school, and we couldn’t be more proud of him.

If you know Sifu Javi, it’s no surprise that the same excellence, leadership, and work ethic he brings to the studio also showed up in the classroom. He has been a great student academically, a strong role model on the mat, and someone our younger students can look up to every day.

His next chapter is already focused on serving others. Sifu Javi will be starting an EMT program with future aspirations of becoming a firefighter.

We are proud of the young man he has become and excited to watch him continue to lead, serve, and make a difference.

Congratulations, Sifu Javi! Your SK family is proud of you. 👏🥋🎓
