I have a large break in training, approximately 15 years or so. Recently I’ve decided to train at Charland Institute of Karate & Fitness, LLC and have been blow away with the professionalism and quality of training. Every class I attend leaves me wanting to train more and more. It’s as if I can’t wait for the following weekend to pass so I can train every Tuesday & Thursday. I wholeheartedly recommend Master Charland and this institute to train at. The discipline, quality and professionalism is unmatched!

My kid attends Karate lessons here, beyond this keeping her physically active it also teaches her self discipline and allows her to interact with a diverse group of children that she might otherwise not have met.

Great school, great teachers, mentors and role models. Master Charland and his team's passion in teaching martial arts is evident in each and every class. My son is looking forward to his sessions and he is not only getting good physical activity and having fun but more importantly he is learning skills in concentration, focus, stillness, self… confidence, conflict resolution, graciously handling both victory and defeat and the list goes on. My son has his goal set on getting that black belt and he knows he will get it as long as he work hard for it and with the support of his teachers.

Our son started taking karate at CIKF at the young age of 7. He wasn't even able to do a real jumping jack at that time when they were warming up. He is now 15 years old, a first degree black belt, is learning how to teach and has won a room full of trophies and metals from various tournaments over the past 8 years. He has made many lifelong… friends at Charland Institute and has become part of one big happy family that works hard together, competes with one another and supports one another on a daily basis. But more importantly, Master Charland and his incredible staff helps our kids get

There are some great classes that are offered for all ages right here at this school and they are lots of fun! I have been here numerous times before and enjoy doing martial arts. There is not one time that I have had in my 15 years of martial arts training, that I ever get bored of doing martial arts. Again, I absolutely enjoy my passion for the art of Tang Soo Do. We also have great instructors and staff members that are always willing to help in every way. Get enrolled into martial arts today! It's great for everyone! Tang Soo!

Amazing instructors, a warm and welcoming environment. Parents are encouraged to stay and cheer on their children. It's structured, the kids are responsible for learning their techniques, and are taught to… treat each other and their instructors with respect... But I can't stress enough how talented the instructors are (especially working with young ones), they make the session FUN! Maggie counts down the days to her next lesson. I would highly recommend this Institute to anyone seeking training in Martial Arts.
