Marius is the Shihan at this dojo and he is very impressive. Weve been students of his for nearly a year and he is such a good instructor. He is so good with kids, as well as with adults. His style of instruction is low pressure and very encouraging. Both of his sons are experts, and together they make a tremendous team demonstrating Karate at the highest caliber.

This dojo is fantastic! Small class sizes, patient instructors, and high quality training. I have trained in karate dojo all over the world and this karate school is up there with the best. Shihan Marius and his assistant instructors (Nicolae and Elijah) are skilled, patient, and fun to train with. This family-run club is an asset to Cottonwood Heights and SLC more broadly.

We are very pleased with the consistent effort and growth attitude at IMA of Utah. The philosophy, work ethic, and commitment to each student is exemplary.

We love Marius and his IMA dojo in Cottonwood Heights. Weve attended the dojo for the past few years and hes really good with kids - knowing when to be firm and when kids just have to be wiggly. It looked intimidating in the beginning, but its not - my son has learned an impressive amount of shotokan karate and is legitimately advancing through the belts. We like the focus and determination thats taught, as well as the sense of accomplishment the kids get. Were indeed lucky to have Marius and his dojo in our neighborhood.

The dojo master here is AWESOME. He is highly focused on technique and building a foundation for superior athletes. He is able to teach focus and discipline through athletic performance from black belts to brand new students. I am so impressed by this facility and I am so grateful to have found it!

My Son has been going since he was 4, Massive improvement inn his motor skills and development of positive attitude.

By far the best Karate academy in SLC. The level of instruction is top notch. My girls have absolutely loved their experience here. They both have already participated at national competitions and wonedals and they have been training for a year only. I would recommend this dojo to anyone interested in real karate and the growth that comes with it!

Our son has been going to the dojo for about a year now and we could not be happier. He has shown growth in focus, commitment and confidence. Sensei and his team are excellent. They take the art seriously and are able to graduate each student at the pace they need. We feel lucky to have the dojo in our neighborhood.

This place is great!
