About Dojo Dan Karate Centre
Dojo Dan Karate Centre is a karate club at CBD 21, Universal Apartment, in Dubai International City. It also posts as Dojo Dan Martial Arts Club and says it has been running since 1992. Its September 2026 back-to-dojo poster announces that regular karate training has started, lists kids karate and adults karate, and says all skill levels are welcome. Photos from the dojo show children in white uniforms and coloured belts training on a matted floor. The club also has branches in Al Quoz, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah; this page covers International City. It is rated 5.0 on Google from 50 reviews. Ages, fees and class times for children are not published, so message the International City branch on WhatsApp to ask which group suits your child and whether a trial class is possible.
The activity
Martial Arts, explained
Karate is a Japanese martial art built on strikes, blocks and stances. Classes usually mix drills, partner work (kumite) and set sequences of moves (kata), and students progress through a coloured-belt grading system. Children who take it up tend to work on coordination, balance, focus and listening to an instructor, and each new belt gives them a clear goal to aim for. Starting ages, class sizes and how gradings work differ from club to club, so ask the provider what they offer for children before booking.
Who it's for
Children and adults. The club's September 2026 poster lists kids karate and adults karate and says all skill levels are welcome. Age groups for the children's classes are not published, so ask the branch which ages it takes.
What to expect
Classes are taught in the traditional white karate uniform (gi) with coloured belts, and the club's photos from the dojo show children practising kicks, stances and drills together on a matted floor. What a first class involves, whether your child needs a gi before starting, and whether a trial class is offered are not published, so ask on WhatsApp before you go. Children's class times are not published either: the hours Google lists are opening hours, not a timetable, so ask for the current class times for your child's age and level.
