I love how safe my kids are here. They learn respect and are held accountable for their actions. My kids always get excited to go to afterschool because it's such a fun environment and they learn so much each day. Their summer camp program is even more impressive. They are constantly on the move either at the school or going somewhere and they come home tired daily! Having a special needs daughter, makes me hesitant on where she goes, but they handle her like a champ and still hold her to the expectations. Very grateful for this program.

Excellent staff! My son has been practicing MMA here 3 days a week for 4 years. They teach basic values and discipline, encourage good behavior, and teach self defense. My son is more confident and strong because of the amazing coaches at National Karate!

Our daughter absolutely loves this dojo! We started at the West Ashley location and then moved to the Summerville location after moving a couple years ago, and the transition couldn’t have been smoother. The atmosphere is always welcoming, motivating, and fun. She looks forward to every single class. Coach Brian, Coach Shaun, Coach Micaela, and Coach Ryder are all incredible with the kids. You can tell they care about every child’s growth both on and off the mat. When our daughter was younger, we also used their after-school care program, and it was amazing! It gave her a great foundation and helped her build the focus and respect she carries into her classes today. We’ve seen such a positive change in her confidence, focus, and attitude since joining. We’re so thankful to have found a place that feels like family. Highly recommend this dojo to anyone looking for a great program and even better coaches!
