My son started Karate Academy in January and absolutely loves it! He came back from karate tonight so proud after working hard and earning another stripe! The teachers are the right amount of compassionate, educational, and tough! My son loves it so much that he had his bday party there in April...and let me tell you... Karate Academy knows how to throw the BEST kids birthday party!!! It was so well organized and the kids were entertained from beginning to end. It was one of the few birthday parties we've thrown that didn't feel like work. We love this place!

My son Angel has been attending Karate classes since he was 4 years old. He enrolled in their lil dragon program then at 5 years old he enrolled in their karate kids program. Karate has help him to be more confident, disciplined and respectful. After enrolling him in Karate he developed his confidence and began enrolling in other sports and activities. All of the instructors are always kind and friendly with him. He has also make lots of friends:) Summer Camp: Angel asked me to signed him up for the summer camp 2024. He had a lot of fun. They make sure they are busy all day and they separate kids according to their age group. Angel loved that there was a field trip once a week. He already ask me to enroll him next summer .

Update: Another year in Summer camp! This time around my 6 y.o has joined the 12 y.o and they are both having a blast. The kids are put into groups with kids similar in age. They get to meet new people and make new friends. I don’t have to worry about taking them out for the summer because Karate Academy does it all! They go swimming, to the movies, Arcade, bowling, Six Flags, etc. All the coaches are awesome! My boys are also part of the After school program and are in the Martial classes. Karate Academy is like a second family. 2022: Summer Camp just keeps getting better and better! This is the fourth year my 11 y.o goes to the camp and not once has he been disappointed. He loves the field trips, making new friends, and the coaches! They have this cool system that makes it easy to communicate with all of them at once via text message, someone always responds. This was the first summer my 5 y.o also attended and he really liked it too. The kids are divided into groups by age, so they can play with kids in their own age range. He wasn’t scared and felt welcomes by all. Thank you Karate Academy for always making sure my kids have a great summer! P.S. you algo get to join this exclusive FB group for parents where you can see pictures and videos of the many activities they get to do. Makes me feel like I’m missing out.

Terrible communication from their contact center, it’s very frustrating when trying to get a hold of someone and no call back. I had signed up my daughters for the no school day camp for Monday and the facility is closed. If it was canceled they should’ve sent a notice thus giving me time to find care for my daughters.
