Absolutely LOVE this place! My daughter and niece started about 2 weeks ago and they like going. The young lady at the front desk is always so friendly and helpful when ever we have questions or need anything. Chase is their instructor, which I have to say he is so patient with the kids. My niece and daughter are only 4 so of course they wanna run around and act goofy, even in the middle of instructiona, but he never gets upset just redirects them and continues. The prices are very reasonable for all classes and products. 100% recommend this place.

Excellent family oriented environment! My children have been enrolled in their starter program, and though my daughter wanted nothing to do with it, she finished the 6 week introduction class and appeared to enjoy it. The instructor works well with the kids, and I thought we were able to sway my daughter's opinion, but my son is super excited to continue with his training!

Sensei Chase is awesome! He works well with the kids and keeps them engaged and involved. He's great at redirecting when the kids stop paying attention and getting them to refocus. We've noticed a significant improvement in our son's discipline since we enrolled him in classes this fall.

We did the 6 week trial for our 5 year old son and he was hooked. His instructor, Sansei Chase is so patient and great with the children. Our son asks to go to class everyday. We highly recommend checking them out. You won’t be disappointed.

My son loves this place, and the instructor is great with kids. Very clean and welcoming. Only reason i give it 4 stars is that the skills they teach are different than a traditional karate class, which is what we came from. I was hoping he would be able to continue the lessons he already knew, but that is not the case. So just keep that in mind if your child has previous MA experience!
