The LAB is different from the ordinary concept of a traditional Martial Arts facility. The LAB takes each person's physical, mental and personal goals and designs a plan to bring out the very best in them individually. Each person is unique due to age, gender, fitness level, health concerns and personal objectives.
Using this information, The LAB formulates the best course to advance and improve all of these areas. A method developed in Japan of defending oneself with or without the use of weapons by striking target areas on an attacker's body with the hands, elbows, knees, or feet. Karate is more then a sport.

The LAB Martial Arts & Fitness Center is a progressive, forward thinking multi-purpose learning facility focusing on the family unit as a whole. Its goal is to provide a safe, healthy and challenging environment for all ages. In addition to focusing on the martial arts including Karate and Jiu Jitsu, the LAB provides transportation for before and after school care from area schools, day camps for off school times and monthly Parents Night Out.
The LAB offers jiu jitsu for all ages. From the first class, the focus is to teach the student respect, discipline, self esteem and confidence. The LAB identifies each individuals strengths and weaknesses and works to bring out their best. Parents are encouraged to participate by observing and sharing any concerns or problems the student may be experiencing in their lives outside of the classes.
The Lab is happy to announce our continued partnership with Challenge Island for our after-school program. You've got your own schedule-We get it. The LAB offers a safe and supervised enviornment for students who need to be dropped off before and picked up after regular school hours. They will take part in structured classes, be provided time to work on home work and of course have FUN!
Whether School is closed or they just have the day off, The Lab has you covered! During these days, we offer a place for your children to spend time learning various martial arts. Focusing on technique development, they will learn, grow, and have a great time doing it. This is a great opportunity for existing students to expedite their class progression and a fun way for non-members to be introduced to a host of new martial arts and fun games.
Zumbini is a 45 minute, early childhood education, music and movement class for children and their caregiver(s): Daddy, Mommy, Grandparents, & Nanny. We will SING, DANCE, & PLAY with instruments, but most importantly, you will BOND with your child! She has been an active member of the American College of Musicians and National Guild of Piano Teachers for three years and also has an Associates of Teaching in Elementary Education.

The best place ever! I go here to take self defense and martial arts classes. I have also made a lot of friends and memories while having fun learning in these classes. I love this place and would never go to another business for my martial arts and self defense needs!

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Speaking negatively about a parent in front of a child is never acceptable, but especially for a martial arts studio! Also, disregarding a parents wishes for safety of their children and family is disgraceful. I have never seen such disrespect from a business owner in my life.

The best thing Ive ever done for my kid and myself!! I spend 4-5 days a week there now!!! I knew nothing about martial arts before I stopped into THe Lab to sign my daughter up for karate, she was hesitant but I knew martial arts for kids is very valuable and a great way to teach respect, confidence, discipline and many other things, or at least that’s what Joe Rogan says lol. My daughter was a little shy/scared to try something new but after a couple classes with the incredible Ms Kari and Mr AJ she loved it! I watched the way they worked with the kids and I couldn’t ask for anything more

Like the facility, love the instructors! My kids are being encouraged and inspired to train martial arts. The center provides fun and interesting classes, while maintaining rules and discipline. My kids willingly keep going back for yet another class , which makes me happy. I strongly recommend the Lab.

My daughter loves being part of The Lab! She loves working with Kari and AJ, who are both phenomenal instructors. They each have a different vibe and focus when it comes to karate, which gives students a well rounded education. The owner, John, really goes the extra mile to make sure students and parents are happy. They are all very passionate about what they do and it shows. We're so happy with The Lab, and are glad to be a part of a karate studio with integrity!

Amazing experience for my son! HIGHLY recommend the before care (starts as early as 6 am) and the Aftercare. My son tells me how much he “feels like he is apart of the family,” and asked to do his entire summer of camps at the Lab. They also have Challenge Island in the mornings for campers. The martial arts program is phenomenal, providing individualized instruction, tournaments, and mentorship. I also enjoy the adult and self defense programs!
