reviewsWhat Members Say
Members consistently praise the traditional Tang Soo Do instruction and the positive impact on children's focus, discipline, and self-confidence. They specifically mention Chief Instructor Scott Sadowsky as being kid-friendly yet straightforward in his teaching, with his father providing a laid-back, understanding presence. Reviewers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, clean facility, and the fact that no contracts are required, with some families driving 40 minutes multiple times weekly because the quality justifies the commute. The only expressed concern comes from a member moving away who hopes to find a similar school in their new location.

We are so blessed to have such a quality karate facility close to us. They are trustworthy instructors who know their art. Its Korean martial arts owned and done by by english speakers (counting down and some other words are in Korean). I love the discipline they are required here. You can tell the kids love and respect the instructor especially how they follow and listen to him.

For the past year my son(kenzy) has been attending this school and I am so pleased with the results. He is more focused, he follows instructions better and very motivated. Master Sadowski is kids friendly but straight forward in his teaching techniques. The dad is laid back and understanding. We will miss you guys and hope to find a school just like Focus Karate in Charlotte NC. Thanks again.

Not only is this school teach karate on a high level but it taught my child self confidence, self control and leadership. It is worth the 40 minute drive 4 times a week! I couldn't recommend more!
