Had a blast training with great athletes and under a brilliant coach! I was welcomed and treaded like family as soon as I walked in. Will stop by here every time I come to visit home!!

The coaches at Kai Next Level truly care about the kids. They create an encouraging, positive environment where my child feels supported while learning new skills. The best decision we made for our child's development.

Edited as a response to establishments’ answer: Yes, very true that you kindly offered my child a free play after the class that he did not participate in. That was very helpful. It was far from one on one tho. Maybe there was a lack of communication at the establishment, but my child did fully participate in class yesterday. And the feeling was the same. The place has potential but the staff dont seem motivated or structured or communicative. Affordable but sadly totally impersonal and low quality. No one greets you once you enter. They don’t ask your name or who you are. There is a person opening the door tho. There is no proper structure or introduction in the beginning of the class. There is no proper class closure either. You’re kinda left to figure it out yourself. Staff literally eats burgers and fries on the mat during practice. Not clean at all - you can see sticky marks from their beverages on the mat.

Response to owner: I was never invited to stay for the Halloween event because if my son was invited to stay we would have stayed! We did not even get into the door, the girl spoke to us with the door closed and the door was closed on us when the conversation was over. I was never informed of the rescheduled date, the only email I got was to confirm that same morning which is why I showed up as our scheduled time as I told the girl who spoke to us at the door. Was excited for my son to join and scheduled him for a 3 day trial karate before committing, showed up 2 minutes before class time only to be told that there is an event going on. No notice or communication or even an offer for rescheduling. Just told at the door there is no class. Should have listened when my son's school told me they don't recommend this place.
