“The first time my son said “yes sir” after asking him to complete a chore he had, made it worth the price of admission… All joking aside I am glad that both my son and I found this place as it gives us a great place to bond and learn great long life skills.
The staff pushes me and is very encouraging and does everything they can to ensure we don’t give up. It’s hard work… I’ve left with bruises and sore muscles, but that’s how I know I worked hard!!
We just celebrated our 1 year there and looking forward to the next several years.”

“I love this school. I’ve been a member for four years, andin that time I have learned a lot, improved my health, and made a lot of friends. The staff teaching style is very open and positive, with a lot of constructive criticism and humor. Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness level or learn a traditional martial art and modern self defense techniques, I highly recommend this school.”

“My grandson is now a yellow belt at 8 years old. We all love the instructors and they are great with the children and adults. I enjoy every session watching my grandson increase his Karate skills and knowledge. He wants to be a black belt one day and we know he will accomplish that at this school. If he needs individual help they are willing to give it and when he has asked the other higher level belts for help they are helpful too and they all want everyone to succeed.”
