Adamson's Karate and Brazilian Jijitsu Carmel

Adamson's karate is more than just a dojo, it is a family. They encourage your child to reach their potential through hard work, practice and big hearts. Two of my children earned their black belts there. That is 5+ years of karate at Adamson's and not one complaint as even when things were hard to grasp, Shihan and the other Senseis not just told them they believed they could do it but fully supported, encouraged and helped them to grow. I cannot recommend Adamson's karate enough. My kids have gone from age 4 to 16 and it has helped them with confidence, focus and physical fitness.

Highly recommend this dojo. My son has been attending for nearly a year, and his progress has been pretty amazing. Their focus is self defense and the art of karate, but they also emphasize so many other valuable life skills. We feel very fortunate to be a part of such an amazing community!

It's been almost 7 years since my son started taking karate at Adamson's karate. In that time, he has earned his junior black belt plus both of my daughters, my wife and I have also joined, trained and got our black belts. One of the main reasons we have stuck with Adamson's is their family environment. Besides being something we do as a family, my kids have grown stronger, become more confident and been involved in helping others. AKS is a great place for kids, adults and families.

Adamson's Karate is a great dojo! My son attends and had made it through the ranks to blackbelt. Shihan Adamson and all of the Sensei are so professional, and each has a different teaching style that keeps it fresh in the different classes. Karate has been a wonderful activity during Covid-19 to keep my son engaged and getting some physical activity. I would recommend anyone who is interested in martial arts to give Adamson's a try.

The first thing we did when we moved to town four years ago was find a new karate dojo for our daughter and Adamson’s Karate was a perfect fit. We love that our children are learning self-defense, perseverance and gaining confidence and have fun doing so. My daughter, now 14, wanted to write this review, “I have been at Adamson’s for the last 4 years, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. My favorite part is all of the supportive friends I have gained. I am also on a competition team, which I love doing because I learn a lot of new things and I am able to improve my skills. There have been times when I have to make a tough decision at a tournament, and I had a ton of people surrounding me, telling me I can do it. I have gained a lot of strength and confidence from karate, along with persistence and respect.”
