I have been training here for 7 years. Always loved the training. Also loved the fact that classes are 6 days a week. Morning classes are available if my evenings are packed yet still want to get training in. The dojo offers an awesome community. Incredibly supportive instructors and you get individualized attention each class. Students also help each other with their techniques outside of class. Overall, a great place to train and to be part of a larger family.

The best place to learn things ever. My daughter did karate some other place for a few months and never showed interest. I encouraged her to try this place because it was so close, she hesitated for a while and then decided to try it out. It has been 2 years since she started, none stop!
