About

American Karate Studios offers both MMA and karate training in a structured yet flexible environment. Classes are well-organized with instructors who actively engage students and adapt to different learning paces. The gym provides a back party room for events and emphasizes family involvement, requiring parents to participate rather than just drop off their children. This approach creates a supportive atmosphere where students can develop physical skills alongside social and emotional growth.

Classes are very organized, the instructors work hard to make sure everyone is engaged and learning. They are wonderful with the kids, and you can tell all the kids enjoy their instruction! I am very happy I signed my kids up, their confidence has sky rocketed! I love the flexible classes and no set schedule, which makes it easier for us to attend when life happens. Highly recommend American Karate Studios!!!

My son took several sample classes and LOVED working with John. He looks forward to signing up for regular, on-going classes. I appreciate how John teaches physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Just had my daughter's birthday here, and I couldn't recommend it enough. Gave the kids a free mini-lesson and had games. Afterwards we went to the back party room that was perfectly decorated. Plenty of space for the kids to eat and run around. Our host John was super helpful and friendly. Definitely doing this again.

My family and I have been attending American Karate Studios for almost 8 months now, and I cannot recommend it enough. We initially wanted extra help instilling confidence in our kids, especially in standing their ground with their decision-making, and to establish a sense of calmness and focus. Within the first two months, we saw a huge difference in our kids' demeanor, and they are constantly practicing what they've learned in class and have even been able to lead the class, which has been a major confidence booster. While it's true that American Karate Studios is on the expensive side, it is a commitment that will last a lifetime (and this is coming from someone who didn’t (but wished) take karate lessons as a kid). Watching each instructor work with the kids, their sense of firmness but also patience is amazing to see. It's impressive to see how they can redirect the focus and gain control so quickly of even the littlest students. The way the instructors interact with the kids is a testament to their training and dedication to the students. They create a positive, encouraging environment that fosters growth and learning. I have been impressed by their ability to strike the right balance between firmness and patience, which is essential when working with children. One of the things that sets American Karate Studios apart is their emphasis on the family dynamic. They mandate that parents are involved instead of just dropping off your kid and leaving, which reinforces the importance of being a present parent. This approach has been extremely beneficial for our family, and we've even utilized the studio for our daughter's birthday, which was amazing. They provided everything, and it was all free!

I encourage all parents with very active children to consider karate. Especially, American Karate Studios. Now, I'm not saying they are the best, cause there are so many karate schools out there and being the best is subjective based on experience, cost and atmosphere. My son has been going here since he was 4 and to see him focus his energy, build confidence and discipline is a great joy as a parent. Plus all the friends he has made has really helped his self esteem. The only reason I haven't given them a five is because I have no other karate school to compare them too, and honestly it takes a lot for me to give a 5 star for anything 😆.
