Martial arts is more than just learning how to throw a punch—it’s about discipline, confidence, and self-improvement. At Dojo Karate, students of all ages can experience these benefits firsthand while training under passionate and experienced instructors.
More Than Just Kicks and Punches
Dojo Karate offers classes for all age groups, each designed to build skills that go beyond the Dojo:
- Young children get a fun and structured introduction to movement, focus, and discipline.
- School-age kids develop confidence and resilience—skills that help them both in and outside of martial arts.
- Teens and adults appreciate the physical challenge and mental clarity that karate provides, often discovering a deeper sense of focus and perseverance through their training.
Leading with Passion, Discipline, and Mentorship in Action
At the heart of Dojo Karate in Eden Prairie is Tyler Hauer, the head instructor and co-owner. His journey in martial arts began at the age of five when he started training alongside his father, T.J. Hauer, who is also a co-owner of the school. Over the years, Tyler’s passion for karate grew, not just as a competitor, but as a mentor and leader in the martial arts community.
“Karate shaped who I am today,” Tyler shares. “It helped me build confidence, stay disciplined, and push myself to new levels. Now, I have the privilege of passing that experience on to my students.”
Beyond Traditional Karate: Kickboxing & Events
For those looking for a high-energy workout, Dojo Karate also offers kickboxing classes, providing an excellent way to build strength, endurance, and stress relief through heavy bag drills and mitt work. The dojo also serves as a unique venue for birthday parties, where kids can experience the thrill of breaking a board and learning martial arts basics in a fun and engaging setting. With plenty of space for cake, gifts, and games, it’s an experience families won’t forget.
