Absolutely outstanding karate school! The instructor is skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in each student’s progress. The classes are structured, motivating, and always leave you feeling stronger and more confident. What really stands out is the supportive atmosphere—everyone encourages each other, and the respect and discipline they teach carry far beyond the dojo. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to advance your training, this is the perfect place to grow. Highly recommended! Thanks Shihan Marc

My granddaughter attends Shihan Marc's Karate Academy. I watch how she has grow up to be patience, team player, confident in her abilities to adapt to her surroundings, listening and eager to help others. My granddaughter love going to Karate. The instructor is fantastic he takes time so that all of the children understand their purpose in his class. Also teaches them how to treat one another, respect, teamwork and live standard.

Sensai Marc is amazing with the way that he works with the children. My children learned self defense techniques that they will carry with them for a lifetime. If you are trying to join, but no one is answering the phone, it’s best to just go up to the building and wait for one of the classes to end and speak with Sensai Marc directly. Classes take place in the evening, after school hours. No one is answering because he teaches the classes himself.

RESULTS RESULTS RESULTS!! Let me start by saying that this has been one of the best investments I have made in my child's future. I have an 8 yr old, only child and like most kids he fell behind during the pandemic. His rusty social skills also began to affect his self-esteem. Shihan Marc, not only helped with both of those issues but then began to instill in him life practices that he applies to everyday use. I continue to see an all-around improvement in his home life, school and social skills. I'm moving out of the area before the new site opens but Shihan Marc has reached out with a recommendation to ensure my son continues on this positive path. That to me is priceless. No child is too young, no adult is too old. Everyone cheers for ALL the participants at the belt ceremonies and leaves with a sense of pride in our children and community. My son broke 3 boards with his hands and I cried with so much joy. Thank you, Shihan Marc, for 50+ years of dedicated service to our children and community. Your greatly appreciated & I highly recommend your services. Congratulations on the new location can't wait to see. Get Outlook for Android
