We had our son’s 5th birthday party here, and everyone had a blast! They did some fun karate moves, games, obstacles, a bounce house, nerf guns, my son cut his cake with a SWORD, and each kid got to break a board at the end. It was well organized, they were great with the kids, and we got so many nice comments from other parents about it. It was everything we wanted and hoped for and we are so thrilled with how everything turned out!

I started taking classes not knowing how enjoyable of an experience this was going to be. I was in search for one as a hobby and Giselle not only offered an amazing price for adults, but also a welcoming and comforting atmosphere for anyone who is new or already a warrior. When I was unable to make it for a couple months, I was able to pause my account until I was ready to come back. The merchandise they sell is very reasonably priced, comfortable, and a necessity if you do not have the proper gear. The dojo is very clean and well maintained and a great size, with an additional room in the basement where they have workout classes on certain days, which I believe you can also pay separately for, but they are included in the adult pricing so I as going to classes when I was able to make them. The instructors are not only very professional, but they are extremely helpful and nice. Giselle has found amazing people to teach the classes and they truly show you how well you can master this craft. Very inspirational. Lastly, the warriors are some of the kindest and respectful students I have come across of their age. This is all around the best experience I could have and I am so glad I chose this dojo to be my training place. Sadly, I had to quit for work and moving, however, Giselle made the process extremely easy and I was fully satisfied with my time here.

Warrior Dojo Karate is an outstanding karate school that my son absolutely loves! The staff here is exceptionally friendly and wonderful to work with. Giselle, in particular, always has a smile on her face and is incredibly helpful, especially when a child isn’t feeling up for karate. The positive and supportive environment at Warrior Dojo Karate makes it a fantastic place for kids to learn and grow. Highly recommended!
