Okinawa Dojo by Karate Bros is a result-oriented Aurora and Denver Martial Arts institution owned and operated by two brothers Sensei Vitaly Padalka and Sensei Alex Padalka.

We are proud to represent USA Karate as an affiliated karate club in Denver, Colorado. At Okinawa Dojo by KarateBros you and your child will learn Olympic Karate - Shotokan style. Do not get confused - you won't be learning MMA (mixed martial arts), Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga or Kung Fu at this Dojo. We teach true Shotokan (松濤館). Shotokan was founded by a great master Gichin Funakoshi in the early XX century and is the most widely practiced style of karate in the World nowadays. Our approach to teaching martial arts is a mix of traditional japanese and modern competitive. Our students learn basics (Kihon), forms (Kata) and sparrings (Kumite). If you think that karate is an individual sport - you are mistaken - we are a big karate family #DreamTeamOkinawa, we train as a team and we rise together as a team! Our goal is to be the best karate school Denver can offer!

Karate brothers Alex and Vitaly are USA National Karate Federation Certified Coaches and Referees, USA SafeSport trained and ceritfied. Senseis are World, Continental and National Champions with over 50 years of combined karate teaching experience.

Karate classes available to everyone regardless of age or skill level:

- Kids 4-6 years old (Pre-Karate)

- Kids 7-13 years old (groups: Beginners, Intermediate, Advanced)

NEW MILESTONE ACHIEVED ✨This passed weekend Okinawa Dojo was filled with spectators, full examination board, and the students lined up for their moment of testing. For some, it was the culmination of months of effort, while for others, it marked years of hard work, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence in both character and karate skills. Testing for the next rank (Kyu) is a significant milestone in the life of any karateka—a chance to showcase the results of their perseverance and training.We are incredibly proud of all our students who tested. Well done, and congratulations!#karatebros #dreamteamokinawa #usakarate #karate #dojo #karatekid #okinawadojo #karatedenver #senseilife #belttest

We are beyond proud of our student Eduard Sagilyan @eduard_sagilyan_ who successfully represents Okinawa Dojo at the World arena.Currently, Eddie is ranked number #4 in the World among U21 athletes and number #16 in the World among +84 kg Senior athletes.At the beginning of October, Eddie represented Team USA at the World Championships in Jesolo, Italy, and placed 7th in the WORLD! We all saw what happened in the quarterfinals, a referee made a wrong call, that could have changed the match outcome completely, but, hey, it’s a sport!  And just like in life in sport, things not always happen the way they should. We are ready for whatever it is ahead of us.Eddie got back home, refocused, re-adjusted, and started preparing for the next big event - the Karate World Cup in Pamplona, Spain that is happening this coming weekend, November 22-24. Eddie is already on his way to Spain, where he will meet with the rest of the Team USA. The men’s team is fighting on Friday.Good luck Team USA 🇺🇸Watch LIVE:Tatami 1: https://i.mtrbio.com/MUBACTZFFHTatami 2: https://i.mtrbio.com/SDNBXJREEJ#EduardSagilyan
