Testimonials

My daughter loves the sense of community at Zanshin. She has really learned a lot about discipline, focus and perseverance since beginning karate lessons.

Andrea D

The focus and discipline my son has learned at this dojo lead him on a daily basis. My family is forever thankful for these life skills developed by Sensei Farnsworth.

John P

Zanshin is the real deal! The dojo can be traced back through the Zen Bei Butoku-Kai all the way to the roots of karate in Okinawa and Japan. On top of that, Sensei Farnsworth is a decorated, knowledgeable, and patient mentor.

Jennifer C

Fantastic school, wonderful Sensei, what more could you ask for? 18 years in the martial arts and I highly recommend Zanshin Karate Dojo to anyone of any belt color, beginner to advanced!

Chris S

A wonderful atmosphere for learning the many necessary virtues of life…. I like the way Sensei Farnsworth makes each child feel special and couldn’t have asked for a better place for an extra curricular activity for my 4 and 5 year olds. I have seen a great difference in their ability to follow instruction, and practice self control since we started here

Yusra Z

There is simply no better place to learn traditional martial arts and
character development if you are in the Grosse Pointe area!! I’ve trained with Sensei Sean Farnsworth for years and I’d be hard-pressed to name a more genuine person. His optimism is contageous. He passes on his passion for martial arts by leading by example.
