Mount Pleasant Karate

I’ve now been going to MPK and working with Master Glenn and fellow students for six months —- and it’s a fantastic program! Master Glenn is very involved and attentive, he is patient and focused on the individual progress and needs of his students, and it’s clear, by the many impressive high belt students, that his instruction is super effective. I would — and have —- recommended MPK to friends and colleagues for the fitness, discipline, mental challenge, and other benefits of martial arts.

Mt Pleasant Karate is the best place to send your children to train in martial arts, specifically Tang soo do. My boys and entire family benefit from our almost 10 year involvement with Master Glenn. The students learn respect, discipline, confidence, history and truly earn their belts.

Positive: Quality
It’s rare to find a school where you are taught by an instructor at such a high level of expertise. I’ve taken martial arts in the past and never had instruction from a master level. This brings an air of excellence to the school and to the Tang Soo Do training.

We appreciate the teaching style of Master Glenn. This is a great school if you or your kids are interested in learning karate. These classes are also a wonderful place for self discovery and obtaining great self esteem.

Fantastic studio, with a leader who’s truly passionate about the sport but also about teaching. For my ADHD son, the confidence and skills have been amazing. I’ve even started coming myself and love learning something new here!

I am so happy to be apart of this amazing school. Here you not only learn how to defend yourself but gain life skills and self respect. I've been here for over three years and it feels like home. Master Glenn Arnold is an incredible teacher and mentor and also I've made very close friends. This is a true traditional martial art school along with some of Master Glenn's expertise in joint locking, take downs and much more. A great place for all ages including children to learn martial arts, self discipline and gain confidence. Great for adults to create goals and also gain confidence. Become the

There are multiple places in Mt Pleasant for Karate instruction and I'm sure students learn the moves, but none could compare with MPK and Master Glenn. He is attentive and expects the students to be respectful first, karate second; it's much more about the art and life skills, than punches and kicks.

My experience with Mount Pleasant Karate has been incredible! As an adult participant facing the challenges of aging, under Master Glen's instruction I have benifitted greatly in maintaining flexibility, endurance, and strength. In addition I was given excellent training in self defense. However, Mt Pleasant Karate goes beyond just the physical benefits of practicing martial arts. Master Glen believes in the traditional teachings of Tang Soo Do. Besides teaching spot on technique, Master Glen also advocates discipline, respect, perseverance and a sense of community with fellow students. These aspects

Mount Pleasant Karate is not just a place to go to for knowledge of the martial arts. It is a place where you can be surrounded by positive influences whether you are a child, teen, or adult of any age- grow into a better version of yourself through exercise, self discipline, and respect. I highly recommend stopping in to hear it from Master Glenn himself; it will be a most valuable investment of your time, as it was mine! :)

Master Glenn Arnold is an outstanding instructor. My daughter has been a student at Mount Pleasant Karate for over two years. She learns self-defense, confidence, discipline, and respect for herself and others. I can see that the lessons she learns in class are reflected in all of the other areas of her life.

Master Glen is amazing with kids!!!! Teaches rules, respect, history, and the proper way to karate! Our girls love it and we can't say enough great things about Master Glen!

I've been involved with various styles of martial arts for 33 years, including earning my 3rd Dan in Tae Kwon Do and teaching for almost 20 years. I also became certified as a National Judge for the Junior Olympics. In all sincerity Mt. Pleasant Karate is THE best school certainly in the Lowcountry. Tang Soo Do as taught by Master Glenn Arnold, assisted by Mrs. Diane Bise, is the finest, most well rounded style superbly taught. Now a senior citizen grandma, I am amazed atthe encouragement and support I get as I continue to progress and challenge myself despite limitations. Master Arnold is not
