Okay, so this is the only karate dojo I know well, but my comments are based on three years of my two kids going here. They really do what I want them to do for the kids. They make it just fun enough for them to accept the discipline and rigor of learning karate. They emphasize character and good behavior while still giving them a lot to learn and goals to reach. It's nice to have someplace where I feel good about leaving my kids for that hour, knowing that they are in good hands.

Excellent place for karate. Available for all children and adults. You can kick start your karate at any age. Excellent family oriented karate school. Can compete at local tournaments or travel to tournaments. Lots of fun and meet new friends. Come on out and have some fun. Try it out and if you like it come join the school.
