My son has been attending Daniel Pope Karate for almost two years. My son has special needs and cerebral palsy. I looked for a long time for a karate school but no one was willing to work with my son. Daniel Pope took one look at my son and agred to work with him. I was speechless and overjoyed. He has been a blessing to my son and family. Hearing my son would never walk when he was born and to see him now would leave you speechless. We applaud Daniel for not seeing a diagnosis but greatness within my son. My son is doing things he never could before and some with limited assistance. Not only does Daniel Pope sow his time with his students but he encourages them daily. He is so giving and caring. His determination and accountability has made a huge difference in my son’s life. If you are looking for a place to send your child/children, I highly recommend Daniel Pope Karate. You will NOT regret it! One of the best decisions you can make!

My son has been a student with Daniel Pope Karate for years and watching his skills, experience, and confidence grow has been amazing! I started as an adult beginner student two months ago and I can't say enough how much I am enjoying the classes. Everyone has been so welcoming!

Daniel Pope Karate Institute has been amazing. My son started as a 4 year old during Covid and now 4+ years later still loves karate. He is being shaped into a self disciplined, self controlled and independent individual. Karate has taught him way more than self-defense. He has learned and grown through karate and it will be part of his life for a long time to come. I have only praise and appreciation for Daniel Pope and all of his instructors. The amount of teamwork that goes into leading a group of children is so important and Daniel Pope, leader of that team takes all of this responsibility and makes magic in his studio. Daniel Pope has been teaching karate for a very long time and is highly knowledgeable not just in karate but also as a team leader and molding children to be the best they can be. I highly recommend Daniel Pope Karate Institute to everyone!

Definitely one of the best things my daughter got involved with. Mr Pope and all the other instructors are not only knowledgeable but they care about the kids and their learning experience. The instructors are firm and disciplined and I think this is my favorite part of their I teaching style. My child will stay with this school for as long as they’re open and willing to teach her.
