Alameda Karate Do Dojo

As a fifth Dan black belt in Shotokan karate, Sensei Amarjargal Enkhbold (also known as Sensei Ebo) is a proud and active member of the Satsuma Dojo and Shotokan Karate International Federation (SKIF).

Sensei Enkhbold began learning Shotokan karate in 1989 with the Mongolia Karate-do Federation for the purpose of exercising. He soon became so involved with karate that, from 2003 to 2008, he worked as the General Secretary for the federation. In 2006, Sensei Enkhbold coached the Mongolian National Team which entered two major karate competitions: the 15th Asian Games, a type of mini-Olympics that includes the 45 Asian countries, and the 9th SKIF World Championships. Due to Sensei Enkhbold’s dedication and excellent coaching skills, the team won fifth place for kumite in the Asian Games and fourth place for kata in the SKIF World Championships.

In 2008, Sensei Enkhbold moved to the US and continued his karate training here in Satsuma Dojo under the guidance of Kyoshi Jay Castellano.

Sensei Enkhbold finds many of his accomplishments mostly unimportant to himself as he cherishes practice, continual improvement, and teaching others above all. He finds it important to teach and instill the values of karate spirit in the younger generations. He aims to help children become good people through karate which will extend into other areas of their lives.

In 2010, Sensei Enkhbold and Sensei Kevin Slauson opened the Alameda Shotokan Karate-do Dojo, a branch of Satsuma Dojo and SKIF. Currently, Sensei Enkhbold alternates between instructing students at Satsuma Dojo and teaching in the Alameda branch.
