We love Success Karate! After a long search to find the perfect place for our child we found Success Karate where our kid learns Karate, participates in afterschool activities and more. The greatest thing is that he recieves assitance with his homework and each day he's more focused and happy!

I’ve been a student of Andres Prada and experienced his love and passion for Karate. I am impressed and impacted by his relaxed and practical approach for an art that his been around for thousands of years. They say that a Blackbelt in any martial art should also be a black belt in life. And this is so evident in Andres Prada. He’s also been my daughter”s instructor, who is now 9, since she was 5 years old. I have videos of him instructing her at 5-7 with so much love and enthusiasm. Most importantly she has so much fun and is always excited about martial arts. Teaching children martial arts and ,(having them love it!!!) is a very challenging task. But Andres and his staff have the secret formula!!! So if you want a place where you and your family find a new found passion and have tons of fun, then Success Karate is where you want to be!
