I restarted my karate career here five years ago after a 25 year hiatus. The teachers, Amy Sperling and Scott Parkin, pretty much shattered the stereotypes I had of Shotokan Karate being a rigid and perhaps brutal training regimen. The atmosphere is friendly and casual (enough) without foregoing the discipline and formality that many seek from the martial arts and that promote safety and learning. My favorite characteristic, however, is that at Kitsune we are encouraged to learn from anyone who has something of value to teach.

All the other 5-star reviews are true. This place is the antithesis of strip mall Karate joints. Its authentic without being pretentious. There is no nickel-and-dime behavior. Their childrens programs are excellent, focused on fun & form over advancement & cutthroat competition.

There are so many wonderful things to say about this dojo! The instructors Scott, Amy, Marti, Ashley and Sara are top notch. They are amazing with children and teach in such a fun manner and have incredible skills. They offer the kids so many wonderful opportunities like doing competitions, demonstrations at public events and most importantly, discipline. Price is affordable, times of class works great with after school and weekends.

Kitsune is a fantastic place to learn traditional shotokan karate. Scott and Amy are extremely knowledgeable about their art and they help their students bring out their best.

A world class traditional school of karate do taught by instructors with a strong Japanese trained background of very high national and international reputation. If you want the best of karate in the Twin Cities, this is it!

We love kitsune. The staff is dedicated, welcoming and kind. The students work cooperatively to get stronger and better. Affordable and flexiable scheduling.
