American Karate. Karate is one

of the martial arts, and Dojos
style is sometimes referred to as
sport karate. Kids, adults and
families are encouraged to join
together with separate classes
designed to meet kids needs.
Hourscht adds, Families who
train together, bond together
and stay together.
Adults often focus on selfdefense training and fitness,
while boys and girls focus on
active fun and goal setting to
earn patches and belts denoting
levels of skill proficiency,
responsibility,
personal
achievement, respect for self
and others, and goal setting. A
healthier mind and body are
achieved through the physical
training. Part of attaining the
advanced levels requires giving
back by mentoring and instructing others.
Dojo Karate owners pride
themselves on being partners in
education. Students karate
accomplishments are tied in
with academic success, and
teachers can be team members
supporting
the
students
progress, along with parental
involvement. Dojo staff conducts school talks and demonstrations featuring the students
(confidence building), and work
with the various area schools to

support their fundraising initiatives.

Busi ness Background
Hourscht and business partner, Keith Stormoen, who
owns the Elk River school,
have been in operation since
August 2000; Hourscht has
been working in the industry
since 1989. They established
their own schools in order to
follow a business plan focused
on the success of each student.
Each of the classes is uniquely
designed based on the needs and
abilities of each student, ensuring their success through exercise, self-discipline, mutual
respect and positive reinforcement.
Their business practice
requires two instructors in each
class so one is available to tutor
individuals while another leads
the class. With a staff of five,
someone is on hand to take
calls, greet walk-in customers
and answer questions that arise
during class sessions. Hourscht
has been in Buffalo since 2003
and at their current location on
Hwy. 55 near Co. Rd. 35 since
2006. In addition to the Buffalo
and Elk River schools, Dojo
Karate franchises are located in
Monticello, Rogers, Medina,
Maple Grove and Waconia.
Hourscht states, Martial

arts is a journey. The ultimate
goal is a Black Belt which is
not the end, but just the beginning as Black Belt holders are
more likely to succeed in life.
It typically takes 3-5 years to
earn a Black Belt, after reaching
various other proficiency and
advanced levels. Masters are
practitioners who have earned a
Fifth Degree Black Belt. Masters teach classes but also prepare advanced lesson instructors
for 1-2 additional years of
teacher training and skills.

Dojo Karates Mi ssi on
Dojo Karates mission statement is to help each student
reach his or her highest personal potential; and to provide them
the lifelong benefits of participating in the martial arts
through professional, superior
karate instruction. Our students
have the opportunity to advance
through various belt ranks in
order to achieve the ultimate
goal of Black Belt. These
advancements
take
place
through goal setting, one-onone tutoring and involvement in
tournaments both in and out of
our schools.
Hourscht believes, When
confidence is instilled in a child,
the skys the limit. Its empowering to see a child go from low
self-esteem to being a leader.
Kids of all abilities, with or
without limitations or special
needs, can grow and learn at
their own individual pace.
Instructors work with students
with physical or mental limitations such as physical injuries,
major
surgeries,
asthma,
ADD/ADHD, Downs Syndrome, etc. Its all about putting your mind to something
and accomplishing it mentally

and physically.
Their mission success is
enthusiastically confirmed by
student endorsement. Maple
Lake student, Victoria Rollings,
has been attending Dojo Karate
lessons for one year and has
achieved the Advanced Red Belt
Level. She states, Dojo helped
me improve my self-esteem and
open up. I used to be shy and
quiet but now am bubbly and
outgoing. It helped me with my
grades and focus. Victorias 9year-old brother, Ty, is an
Advanced Blue Belt holder, and
4-year-old sister, Olivia, is a
Mighty Dragon. Their mother,
Wesley, confirms, Dojo Karate
has given Victoria and Ty confidence and self-esteem and helped
them become better listeners.
Desire to earn the academic
patch pushed them to excel and
reach the honor roll, and their
grades have improved with
timely finish of school work.
Maple Lake Ambassador
Heather Blahut further supports
the Dojo Karate mission.
Blahut attended Dojo Karate lessons for seven years and holds a
2nd degree Black Belt. She also
worked as a Karate mentor with
kids for one year. According to

Blahut, You learn new things

you wouldnt learn elsewhere,
like discipline, while having
fun. I learned new things about
myself and gained a lot of
respect for myself and others. It
was a great self-confidencebuilding experience and opportunity to meet new friends.
Youre never too old; anyone
can do it. Im so grateful for the
awesome opportunity.
Families involved with Dojo
know that it takes dedication and
hard work to achieve a Black
Belt in Life. Dojo instills the
philosophy that Karate can be
practiced for exercise and selfdefense, but also assists those
that may be experiencing bullying, attention disorders, fatigue
syndromes or low self-esteem
by teaching them how to handle
each situation in a non-violent,
concentrated manner.
Hourscht said, Our passion
lies in watching our students
become lifelong martial arts
participants and reaching their
highest potential. Dojo Karate
encourages student advancement
through goal setting, leadership
and character development, and
healthy competition. Each
instructor strongly believes in

DOJOKarate students practice their skills with partners. (Photo by Bob Zimmerman)

creating champions in life

along with champions in
Karate, so our lessons are easily
applied outside of Dojo classes.
Lessons
Dojo Karate offers lessons
year round with classes specifically for kids, adults, and teens
at various levels from Mighty
Tigers (2-3 yrs. old) and Mighty
Dragons (4-5 yrs. old) to Red,
Blue, Brown Belt advanced levels for juniors, intermediates
and adults. Dojo offers an introductory one-month promotion
for $14.95, which includes a
free uniform and eight classes
(two per week). Classes are
offered day, evening or Saturday
hours, which are convenient for
public or home-schooled children. Home-schooled children
often use the activity to satisfy
physical education requirements. In addition to the physical activity lessons, a character
building class is held Saturday
mornings.
Dojo currently instructs 250300 students at the Buffalo location, and their busiest time is
during the school year. Students
can start anytime throughout
the year; classes are always
available. As stated on their
website, Dojo Karate provides
professional, superior Karate
instruction to families that are
interested in attaining the lifelong benefits of our programs.
Our schools are extremely family-friendly, and we strongly
encourage each family member
to become involved. This helps
build a stronger relationship and
gives a whole new level of support to each student. Our policy,
Customers First, inspires each
individual who steps into our
school to excel and learn valuable life skills.
