From the minute we walked in the front door We were made to feel at home and our grandson is having the best time. Chip Wright was actually the first person to give our grandson instruction on how to do karate. They made sure that he had a really good fitting ghee, that he knew the customs and the rules of the dojo. He started at a white belt and soon earned a white stripe. He is doing a belt testing camp this weekend and he is so excited about it.
We really like the instructors and the structure of the classes and we are thrilled with our grandson's progress. If you have a child who has even

How much is it worth to you to have your kids grow in respect, integrity, self control and focus? How much would you pay for that?”... this is literally what my husband asked me as we got ready for our second week at Chip
Wright’s gym, saw what they were learning in class and were strongly considering membership for 3 of our kids. My answer was- “yeah, it’s worth a LOT to me.” Luckily we aren’t actually paying a high fee because the prices are reasonable and they have multi- kid discounts- yay! But I can’t believe how much my
Boys have already benefited from the classes! While

I attended another karate school (on and off) over the last 5 years and would periodically attend classes at Chip Wright's Karate as a guest. I remember Chip from the early 1980's when he was competing on the point circuit and was the number one competitor in the U.S. ( I was in my 20's at the time and had just started practicing karate with a dojo in Grants Pass).
These are my impressions of his adult classes and him personally--
Whatever qualities he possessed that propelled him to # 1 back in his competitive days (my guess is a high sense of awareness combined with good old fashioned

Very unprofessional on all levels. Went to a tournament held there, and many of the judges were extremely biased. It was clear very early on that the tournament was just a way to give their own students medals. Standards for outsiders were not held for their own students. When an outsider barely nicked a junior black belt on the face, despite him appearing to be fine, the judges disqualified the outsider (video evidence taken shows their claims for disqualification were false), but when one of their students hit another of their students in the face so hard that they were nearly knocked out, and

I cannot day enough great things about Chip Wright and his staff. We signed my 4 year old son up because he had a speech impediment, one so bad that right before starting kindergarten, he completely shut down and stopped talking. He was so embarrassed and so angry that people couldn’t understand him, and it tore us apart. We signed up him hoping to give him a confidence boost. Karate has done more for him in 6 months than a year of speech therapy has. The instructors are all very kind, but very firm. They not only teach karate but they demand respect for others. My son came out of his shell and
