We love this dojo because we feel we are a part of a martial arts family. There is a variety of programs to choose from. Our children have the opportunity to learn self-discipline, gain confidence, get exercise, and learn what it means to set and achieve goals through the kid's karate and jiu-jitsu programs. In addition, I can get a fun workout that I will actually stick with while learning a little bit about self defense in kickboxing.

My time at keishidojo has been amazing ever since I joined back in January of 09. And as I have progressed through the ranks to become an instructor, it made me realize the hard work and dedication that JD Olsen puts into his classes to make them fun and understandable for all. This is a great place for getting your child to start a martial art, or even if you are an old timer and is looking for a new opportunity to hone your skills. 5/5 Great business, and a great instructor.

I was temporarily assigned to Shaw AFB in Sumter, SC, and had the pleasure of training at Keshidojo for two weeks. I can’t emphasize enough how awesome my experience with them was! The staff is friendly and welcoming. Ashley greeted me the first day and was happy to show me around the dojo. J.D. Olsen, the owner, was more than happy to integrate me into classes with his students, and Dylan the BJJ instructor treated me as one of his own students during my time with them. The other Jiu-Jitsu students were all welcoming and great training partners. Keshidojo’s facility is quality with two mat rooms and equipment for both grappling and striking arts. Lastly, the overall atmosphere of the gym is family-friendly. Every day I would go into train, happy kids were running everywhere. As a father of two, I would be more than happy to bring my kids to Keshidojo! Drop-in and check them out if you are in the Sumter area!
