i signed my son up for there safe siders program and sensei Ryan has done a incredible job not just teaching him the basics of self defense but things he can use for every day safety in different situations. he also partakes in a spar class where he learns more about the fundamentals of karate and absolutely loves it. all the instructors are very friendly and I would definitely recommend joining their dojo

I wish I could give them 10 stars. Our son started taking classes the day he turned three and we started seeing improvements in his behavior right away, both in and outside of class. Sensei Ryan does such a great job with his students, highly recommend!!

Sensei Ryan is amazing interacting with the kids. My son, 8 years old, has been training at Peoples Kenpo Karate for just about a year now and he absolutely loves it. He has boosted his confidence and self defense which is exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend People’s Kenpo Karate for anyone young or old.

What a gem! They offer classes for all ages and the Sensei(s) are all wonderful with our 3 year old son, our 7 year old daughter, and with us - the unexperienced parents :). Such a great family atmosphere and most importantly they are teaching our kids how to be aware, confident, persistent, kind, and thoughtful humans. A truly wonderful place I didnt realize existed and we are so thankful to have found Peoples Kenpo, Rhyno's.

Our son is enrolled in the safe side karate classes. I echo that Sensei Ryan has done a phenomenal job teaching the safety skills necessary to help keep our son safe. All of the staff are a pleasure to work with and I expect we will be proud members of this dojo for a long time to come!
