Quite simply the best dojo around. Our 9 year absolutely loved the structure, class size, and community that is developed within each class. As a parent, you can’t beat the pricing. Also the ability to leave your child there during class to run a few errands is a great plus. Overall, if you or your child is interested in learning karate from the best around then look no further than Carolina Karate.

Four years ago, my eight year old daughter begged us to take karate lessons. We thought it was a little strange, but wanted to be supportive, so we enrolled her in classes. What a gift Carolina Karate has been to her! This dojo is so incredible supportive. The families are diverse and inclusive... we couldn’t ask for a better experience or a better “karate family”. Fast forward to today - she’s testing for her high purple belt this afternoon!

We have been attending Carolina Karate for the past 6 months. My son has progressed remarkably and loves going to class every night. Sensei Hood and the entire staff are absolutely great with the kids and work hard to develop all aspects of their students. You will not find a better karate center.

The entire staff is great!
Our family has been with Carolina Karate for two years now and we have enjoyed every second. It started with our son, then soon after our daughter saw how much fun the classes were and she decided to join. Not long ago my husband joined the adult classes and before long our new baby and myself should be right there with them.
This is a very family oriented dojo. I recommend it to anyone, from the professional athlete looking for the best training in town to the family looking for a sports activity that will instill discipline and the love for being active and staying
