Words cannot do justice to how amazing this gem of a school in East Oakland is. Master Frohm and Chief Instructors May and Jefferson have cultivated a community that is caring, supportive and motivating. Expectations of the kids and older students are very high, and comes from a place of love and integrity. And while the physical expectations of training are there, the expectations don't end at the walls of the school. The instructors regularly talk with the kids about balance in their lives - encouraging them in school, supporting family, and pushing students to critically evaluate their

My child has been here for 4.5 years now; best investment that will last a lifetime! I love this place! Very disciplined and structured, very friendly, the head teachers (all Black belts) are warm and professional and have an amazing knack for teaching children and youth. Its amazing how they can get 3,4 & 5 years olds to execute the Karate moves. It's hard work, sometimes my son doesn't want to come, but hearing the teachers tell their own stories when they were youth and having their mom's keep them committed AND then seeing where they are now, is motivation! I looked at many

Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Indomitable Spirit...This is the way of life at Frohm's Martial Arts.
I never would have thought I could start Karate 2 months pregnant, at the age of 23 and BLACK! lol...when you think of traditional karate schools, your mind immediately flashes to young children of Asian descent dressed in perfectly matched outfits with a serious face as they uniformally flow to the same silent music. Frohm's Martial Arts is indeed a tranditional karate school, but with a modern day twist. Head Teacher, Ernest Leon Frohm III, is a dynamic instructor

At Frohm's Martial Arts, we study American Karate. American Karate is a combination of American boxing, Karate and Taekwondo. We train hard!! Belts are not given out because you've been here a long time and pay your tuition. There is integrity involved, and you have to earn each rank, regardless of your age.
I came to Frohm's Martial Arts with my daughter who began almost a year before me and I was impressed. Impressed by Head Teacher Mr. Frohm, the Blackbelts, and most important the students. Like I say for any school... Look at the students the school produces, look at
