osaki O. ★★★★★ : It has been awesome. Immediately you start you know deep down that this karate is real. My experience has been awesome and will still be more than awesome. I do believe that people should come to Zen Budo Karate and learn karate because that's where real karate is happening in Portharcourt.
Chizorom L. ★★★★★ : Zen Budo Karate is one of the best decisions I made this year. For a while I lost focus on the goals I planned to achieve but since I began this journey I have accomplished so many things one step at a time, strength, determination, drive, calm, interacted with the most beautiful minds and embraced a new family. I have come to understand my strengths and weaknesses knowing how to channel both appropriately. If you have lost focus, determination and drive, Zen Budo Karate is the place for you🥰🥰🥰

Austin U. ★★★★★ : This is probably the best MMA/combat sport gym in the country. The knowledge of the coach (Sifu) and the atmosphere makes it easy to blend in irrespective of your level of experience. I genuinely recommend and my only wish is that more people knew about the good work being done at this gym. 5 stars for sure.
Sommy G ★★★★★ : I had an exceptionally positive experience over the past two weeks. I highly recommend Menia Martial Arts studio. I am confident you will find it beneficial.
