Jessie Thornton's United Karate Studio

I met Mr. Thornton over twenty-four years ago for an introduction class. He has always been an encouragement to my entire family and I. He has always prayed for me when I needed it and has been there for me as a mentor through my teen years and I still look at him as a second dad. I made it to first gup red at 17 and as life happened I had to stop. At 37 I've decided that it was past time to finish what I started and Mr. Thornton was more than happy to welcome my daughter and I home. His wife is a very precious lady and his sons are AWESOME

I scheduled very easily to have my boys come in and have a mini session to see if they liked it. Everyone was beyond nice the moment we walked in the door! Mr. Thornton was so attentive to the boys and speaking… to them so they understood how they needed to act and behave. We signed up right then! They’re so excited to go back tomorrow! I know this is going to be a wonderful experience for them in so many ways! I definitely recommend here for beginners! I’m excited to see how much they love it already from just one visit!

Good, God fearing people. Thankful for the amazing influence they have had on my son.

Great Atmosphere and a great place for students of all ages to learn the martial arts that Jessie Thorton has to offer.

It is one of the MOST AWESOME karate schools around!

I have been training with Mr Thornton for 3 years now, and the self confidence/ discipline I've learned in that time is fa- nominal. Mr. Thornton is an amazing man, and like a father figure to me. He is truly an amazing man with a big heart that loves God with its whole ability. He will never give up on you, he will just keep on rolling with the punches. He truly lives his life for God, and you can see that every day. If you are looking for something that can help teach your children self discipline, or self confidence, or you or your child just want a big group of people you can trust no matter

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value
I have never been there but I met Jessie, and he is super nice and a great guy.

Great Teacher, Loving Family Man. I miss my classes with him. I love Jesse, he's the best

Very friendly family environment. This is not a black belt factory, you have to earn each belt through strenuous testing. I've been training here since 2010!

Jessie Thornton is good man. A great example for our children & teens to follow. They learn how to respect others, defend themselves & have a good self image from taking karate lessons here. So many kids have gone through this studio & become black belts here in years since my son took classes with Jessie. That was in 1995

I love this place. I feel it’s been so great for my son. Everyone here so helpful. Jessie and Joy.. well, they are pretty awesome. I’m so glad we have found them. I think there is a hidden secret i didn’t realize they have kickboxing aerobics on Mon/Wed/Fri ..so while you kids are working out on one side you are on the other side. I’m so glad I walk in the door back in Nov .. go check them out.. Melinda Thomas

I've been there for for about 23/24 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else it's a wonderful place to be
