Dragon Storm Kenpo Karate

Two of my sons have been taking classes at Dragon Storm. It has been a wonderful experience. They have learned a lot over the course of that time. The instructors are great people, and the students are kind and helpful to each other. The price of instruction is affordable, and the classes are available six days a week which makes it so easy to fit in no matter how busy your schedule. Now my daughter has joined her brothers, and they have been at the school for 6 years. The owners/instructors are not motivated by money at all. They will spend time beyond your paid for classes to make sure students learn. They want students to learn how to defend themselves in as many situations as possible. I would recommend Dragon Storm to anyone and everyone serious about karate and martial arts.

Dragon Storm has a great set of instructors that take teaching and training seriously. Mr. Hamlet is a fair and understanding instructor with a lot of patience for those willing to learn. The price is great. I appreciate the class days being flexible and for all levels of learning. My son has little knowledge and experience with any martial arts. I also appreciated that Mr. Hamlet allowed him to observe for a couple classes before deciding if signing up was going to keep his interest. He has enjoyed participating and learning how to defend himself and others. The classes have been worth the added activity and keeping his attention.

The instructors here take time to make sure their students know their material and why each part of a technique is important. They aren't a feel-good belt factory, or a dance studio with 24 orange belt dance moves. Your strikes better be strikes. Your kicks better be high enough to hit something. If you're off balance, you're wasting time. The focus definitely rests on the self-defense aspects of the sport. The pile of tournament trophies shows how well that real-world focus stacks up in front of judges. Update 05/20/2024: As the father of three of the students, i can guarantee none of the recent negative reviews are from anyone who's ever been at the school. And they all came at the same time someone came by looking for something for free, or a fast fix for a temporary problem. There is no such thing as a 10 minute karate class that is worth anyone's time, and no skill without practice. I have three kids in 3 different belts, all according to the effort they put into it. Each belt has 24 techniques + a form or two, save for the yellow belt. By the time you're 5 belts in, you have over 100 techniques and over half a dozen forms. This is a proper school for students who want to learn, and not those who want to be a victim of putting in effort.

Mr. Hamlett and Jen are AMAZING instructors. They take time with each student to ensure they learn the material and understand the moves. They have realistic expectations of students and hold them accountable. I highly recommend them. Couldn't ask for a better school and instructors to learn from.

My son has been training here for more than 3 years now and we are having wonderful experience. He learned more techniques and forms and successfully achieved more belts. I appreciate the instructors Hamlet and Jen for their patience and experience, they will ensure that every class is effective and useful to students. I can just say that they are doing tremendous job and more to go. My son never delivered any negative comments yet, he always cheerful and grasp what instructor says it’s all because of instructors who putting their efforts and making every minute effectively, obviously this brings interest for all students. I want to give 100 stars for this institution but google is allowing me only 5 :). Good job instructors and I wanted to see my son wearing black belt soon :) :).
