I think everything has already been said. Sensei Ford is the best teacher my daughter has ever had. He is engaging, patient, kind, and respectful of the kids. Highly recommend this dojo!

6 months ago, I was looking for an activity that would be both educational and fun for my 6 year old daughter and 8 year old son. I came across Sensei William Ford's Kaizen Dojo in Torrance. I really appreciate Sensei Ford's "organic" style of teaching, which is down to earth, caring and warm. He's very good at capturing all the children's attention (with humor and subtle firmness), while still taking time to talk to each child one on one. He also understands that each child learns at a different pace and caters to different needs, while keeping the class on point throughout each lesson. You can see and feel the genuine desire (from all of the instructors at Kaizen Dojo) to teach the children the discipline of karate, as well as making the learning experience fun, engaging and educational. I would highly recommend Kaizen Dojo and Sensei William Ford to anyone seeking to have their children involved in the martial arts. It helps them to focus, teaches them discipline, and builds their confidence that will carry over into their everyday life.

Sensei Ford is a fantastic teacher! My 9 year old son has a disability and generally does not do well in a class setting but enjoys going to Kaizen Dojo. Sensei Ford is extremely patient and has a fun and positive yet firm teaching style that my son takes well to. He encourages my son to do his best even if it's not at the level of his peers. I highly recommend Sensei Ford and Kaizen Dojo!

I have known Sensei William Ford since 1995. At that time he was already a 3rd degree black belt in Shorin-ryu karate. We trained together and he also had some students that he taught privately. I recently visited Kaizen dojo to see how Sensei William Ford's classes were going. I am happy to say that Sensei Ford is now a 5th degree black belt in Shorin-Ryu and attends annual seminars in differnt martial arts disiplines to broaden his knowledge base. He is open to all displines in martial arts and welcomes anyone that is willing to learn. He has a lot of karate kids that absolutely love coming to class! The parents are happy with their childs progress and some of them even consider taking classes themselves. The people here are friendly and helpful. This is an "Ohana" dojo, with a very family oriented focus. Students are members of the same family or become close to their peers assimilating a family unit. Training is fun and challenging for all ages and levels. Definitely a 5-star activity for the entire family!

My 7 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son both attend Kaizen Dojo. They absolutely love doing their karate. Sensei Ford and his assistants Sensei Jade, Senpai, and several higher belted students that help out have unimaginable patience with the kids. I truly don't know how they do it. The kids learn so much and not just how to kick or punch. Sensei Ford makes a point of teaching life lessons like how to do a proper hand shake to the importance of using good manners and being respectful. We hope to spend many years here through our children's karate journey.
