My name is Brandy Wright and I am one of the instructors for the kids class at this location. I know that I speak for Hanshi Fred Buck, Sempai Sickles and myself when I say that we truly love Kyokushin Karate and we love teaching our art to those who want to learn it. We receive great joy in watching our students learn and grow. We are a Dojo founded on love, respect and family not on large class sizes and making money. We do what we do because we love it, not because we love money. We would enjoy for you to visit us, check out class and see if it is a good fit for your child or for you. Osu!
