Since 1985, the Troy Black Belt Academy has offered karate instruction in the metro-Detroit area. We offer adult karate classes as well as kids karate programs for children of all ages. Whether you are a serious martial artist or a beginner who wants to learn self-defense, get in shape, build self-discipline and confidence, the study of Williams Kenpo Karate is a fun and practical way to improve your life.
Williams Kenpo Karate is not a sport. It is an highly effective martial arts program where practitioners concentrate on skills needed to defend themselves against one or more attackers. The Williams Kenpo style of self-defense teaches learning by doing. It requires hands-on practices of real possible life situations using short, effective defense techniques designed for use regardless of age, size, or gender.

We have been at this Karate school for more than a year, Mr. William's the Owner is very patient with kids yet he still teaches them discipline and to listen. Start with warm up and class, then they have small breaks where they play games, run and chase each other and kids love it!. Kids learn discipline, they learn self defense, they exercise and play at the same time, this is great in this days were all kids want is sit and play iPad or watch TV. This is a good place where kids stay healthy and still play and learn.

My children have been attending Troy Black Belt Academy’s Summer Camp and After School Program for 3 years now and absolutely love it. The owner, instructors, and counselors are all amazing and very helpful and kind to my children. The kids are always very well cared for and I wouldnt want to send them anywhere else.

I am sending my son here from last year. He really enjoys it here. Gary is very nice and kind with my son. My son enjoys all the physical activity they are doing. I feel safe when my son is there. They have started picking and dropping services to and from school. During the snow school closures, half days, I don't have to worry because my wife and I are working full-time, sometimes it's hard to take off when you work in healthcare during the snow storms. These days only go to place is Troy Black belt Academy.

My kids have been going to Troy Black Belt Academy for After School Care and Summer Day Camp for 4 years, so they are there year-round. Mr. Williams is funny and entertains the kids. Mrs. Williams is very nurturing and approachable to the kids. They offer a variety of activities, indoors and outdoors (in the summer) for the kids. During the summer day camp, kids have several choices of outings such as daily trips to the beach and/or park, and indoor activities with games and crafts, among other things. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are also very generous with prizes, snacks, and overall treats for the

Gary Williams is awesome with kids. My son is in his karate class and in the past has had issues with defiance. Gary knew exactly how to work with him. On top of running karate classes for age 5-adult, he has a before/after school program, where he will take kids to school and pick them up after. In the summer he has a summer camp that offers a ton of stuff for your kids to do.
Gary is a great guy and I can't promote him and his business enough.

Troy Black Belt Academy is such a great place and excellent in every way. My two daughters have been going here for several years for both after school care and summer camp. The service is dependable, flexible, and affordable. Gary and his staff provide the best possible service and are extremely helpful and kind. The communication is also great, and I would recommend Troy Black Belt Academy to anyone.

Troy Black Belt Academy has been an ideal solution for our family. Our son is in middle school and is too young to be home by himself for several hours, but too old to be in a traditional day care center. The owner, Gary, recognizes the challenges of working parents and offers after school pickup and care on school days. He is also open when the school district has extended breaks. He offers fun activities for the kids (karate, video games, etc.) and everyone always seems to be having a good time when I walk in to pick up my son in the evening.

The staff goes all out during holidays and provide an after school experience that my kids love going too everyday. They not only provide discipline through Karate but they also help with school work activity. If I have any issues with anything they are more the willing to listen and make accommodations. They recently started opening their doors for early child care and everything is going perfect.

Our daughter attends the after school program at Troy Black Belt Academy. As we are a family with two working parents and don't live in our home school neighborhood, so no bus to drop off at home.
There are always a variety of kids and ages, so she can always find someone to talk to. There are alot of activities to choose from, divided out in different rooms. Craft room, homework area, gaming room and a laid back living room to watch TVs. There is always time for physical activity as well.
Both Mr Williams and Mrs Williams are nice, understanding, flexible, helpful and good with the kids. The

Love the individual attention that my son is getting as he gets closer to getting his black belt. Gary is in touch with the needs of the students and David is an outstanding karate teacher! Both of my sons are excited to go to karate and they also get a great work out. For one price, the boys can go workout six days a week! Great place!
