Our Focus
Discipline
Inspired by Japanese culture, DBK places great emphasis on discipline. Our students not only improve their martial arts skills but also internalize punctuality, cleanliness, and other essential values.
Respect
Respect serves as the bedrock of our art at DBK. Our students bow to senior members and mentors as they step onto the Tatami. This practice embodies the key to a civilized society
Friendship
At DBK, our members experience a sense of family beyond their own. Through bonding and the creation of lifelong friendships, we foster improved social skills. Our focus is on motivating real-life experiences while minimizing reliance on technology.
Fun
DBK is known for its strict discipline, yet our students genuinely love our classes. We strike a perfect balance between rigorous training and enjoyable experiences.
Testimonies
"My years at DBK are some of my best memories!! The classes were always fun and challenging, but my favorite thing about DBK was the family we made! Demian puts his heart into every class and every student. He saw my potential and pushed me to be the best. He’s an amazing and supportive instructor who just wants to see you succeed. Not only does he encourage you to try your very best but he also makes sure that you’re always having fun in the process. At DBK they really care for you and welcome you like a family. I will forever cherish the memories I made while training there".
