Kids Martial Arts near Sumter

Hidden Gem in Sumter

Keishidojo is a hidden gem in Sumter. I can’t say enough about the facility, staff, or clientele. We were first introduced to Keishidojo when several coaches and students did a demo at a city event. Our then 6-year-old son was enamored with the jiujitsu grappling and while he’s always been a relatively shy child who has never enjoyed contact sports, he ran right up to coach Dillon to ask him tons of questions and beg us to sign him up. Sensei JD and coach Dillon have not only been excellent instructors but they’ve been incredible mentors for our oldest son. Our son has grown so much in both martial arts and personal discipline because his coaches and sensei have shown confidence in him and held him to an age-appropriate standard of respect and focus. All of the coaches and staff are professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I signed up for the fitness kickboxing class with Sensei JD to break up my typical workouts and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the class, especially since I had zero martial arts experience. The other kickboxing attendees were welcoming and helpful, which really eased my transition into such a new venture. While I have no experience with the other adult martial arts classes, I have met nearly the entire staff and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the options at the dojo because each instructor and coach is so passionate about sharing their love and understanding of the subject matter. My only regret regarding our time at Keishidojo is that we didn’t find it sooner, as our time at Shaw is coming to a close this summer. We are hopeful to see the friends we’ve made over the last 7 months again soon and our son is eager to continue learning and developing his new love of jiujitsu at our next duty station.

Ashley and JD is wonderful along with my other classmates. JD is very patient and it shows he really cares for his students. Everyone is so welcoming and willing to help. I’m so glad joining. My only regret is not joining sooner.

Don't Look Anywhere Else

Our son has been going here for years. The staff is always willing to work one on one if someone is needing a little more instruction or help. They are awesome. 🙂
