I began my martial arts journey with Karate in Okinawa, Japan over 50 years ago, and never looked back. Since then, I've trained my wife, my sons, and my grandsons in martial arts. Now we offer Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and Krav Maga in Cincinnati, Florence, Lawrenceburg, and Blue Ash. Meanwhile, the confidence, focus, and inner-strength you get will help you EVERY day for the rest of your life.
There is a reason why doctors, psychologists, and educators recommend Nishime Martial Art's karate lessons for kids as a beneficial activity. The benefits of karate and jiu jitsu training at Nishime Martial Arts go much farther than teaching a child self-defense.

Great instructors , who have a great rapport with my 5year old. He can be a handful at times but I love how they don’t mind putting him in his place when need be . He loves coming to the Dojo and barely misses a day. He knows he needs to work hard to gain a belt test …. and I love that belts are not just given. You have to earn them. I am
Very satisfied with our experience thus far and would recommend to anyone.

Great place for taking martial arts.
They offer different types of classes for all levels - for adults and kids- from beginners to advanced including up to black belt and also they have jujitsu classes, as well as
age appropriate classes for the younger kids.
They have a few different locations.
We attended the one on mall road in Florence until Covid happened. But we would recommend this place.

I'm very happy with this DoJo and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a great place to go, for karate. The instructors
are knowledgeable and work with kids,teens,and adults of all abilities and belt levels. This karate school is also a black belt school for those who want to become a black belt. They also teach Jujitsu classes, for self defense. I'm very glad I found this place for my son who was having some trouble with being bullied at school, hopefully he will learn the skills that he needs to become self secure, as well as learning hard work and discipline which karate also

We had my sons 10th birthday party here and the kids had a blast! We had 12 kids do a karate class with an instructor followed by karate themed games on the mats. All of the kids got to kick and punch pads as well as play dodgeball. It was a great way for the kids to get some energy out while we set up the party. Nishime provided juice pouches and goodie bags for each kid and let us bring pizza and cake. Overall it was an awesome experience and my son said "the best day of my life".

The Nishime familty runs the best dojos in cincinnati hands down. The founder is among the most experienced and patient "old school" martial artists (from okinawa) in the nation, and his sons are amazing in both their skills and their capabilities to share their knowledge with adults as well as our kids. I have known this family for 20+ years and they are every aspect of the word professional. They not only train in karate, but stress discipline, honesty, self worth and respect... things you carry on to be a successful adult. I cannot recommend them enough.
