My wife and I started taking our five year old daughter here a few months ago and it’s been a great experience! The Sensai is so good with kids and encourages everyone to treat each other with respect. Our daughter is shy and he’s been so great at making her feel comfortable. We’ve noticed an increase in her confidence and she loves going to karate now!

I’ve been going to this dojo for practically my whole life (and my brother went here) to the point I consider it a second home. If you are in Columbus and want to start a martial arts career no matter how old you are, this is by far the best dojo to go to. Everything you learn is taught throughly and you can apply what you learn to other things in life. Every student is kind and welcoming, and the strength training program is absolutely amazing. I love coming to class and it’s a great sport to do for your mind and for your body. The friendships and experiences you get here can’t be found anywhere else!!

, I can say with full confidence that it was and will be one of the best experiences of my life. Shihan Rodger Pyle was understanding and patient with me when other coaches/teachers weren’t and the staff and students are all extremely supporting and helpful. This place made me feel seen and understood. Thank you so much Shihan Rodger Pyle for these classes and providing a comfortable, fun, and educational experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have really enjoyed our experience! My son was tentative at first and Shihan was great letting him go at his own pace while also encouraging him. There’s a no nonsense, direct approach which I really appreciate. The instructor does a great job keeping the kids engaged and organized.
