Location benefits
Berlin-Steglitz is our family location for kids and youth karate in the southwest of Berlin. Families from Steglitz, Lichterfelde, Zehlendorf, Lankwitz, and Friedenau can find age-appropriate Kyokushin training in small groups here on Saturdays – without full contact for children.
Location in Steglitz
Gardeschützenweg in Berlin-Steglitz, in a residential area near Rathaus Steglitz. Parents can wait in the vicinity or run errands during training.
Small groups, parents welcome
Fixed groups with familiar trainers, transparent procedures, and age-appropriate training. Parents are allowed to watch at any time and stay in the area during training.
One fixed appointment per week
Saturday morning fits the family rhythm: three age groups train one after the other, siblings consecutively, parents drive once. The fixed weekly rhythm provides stability for children.
Safe, structured, with progress
Controlled training without full contact for children. Greeting ritual, warm-up, technique, and games provide a clear framework on the mat; belt tests make progress visible.
Why this location?
The Steglitz location is geared towards children and youth. Kyokushin basics, coordination, age-appropriate partner exercises, and dojo rules like respect and attentiveness are trained.
The location is in Steglitz near Lichterfelde and is also easily accessible from Zehlendorf, Lankwitz, Friedenau, and parts of Tempelhof. We deliberately bundle kids and youth training at one fixed location in the southwest of Berlin, instead of falsely pretending to offer multiple district locations.
Shinzen means friendship. The training is organized as a fixed dojo community: children train regularly in their age groups, know the trainers and training partners, and develop together over a long period.
Trainer in Steglitz
Sensei Son trains in person in Steglitz. He knows every child by name and leads the groups on Saturdays with patience and clarity.
