My son and I love ckka. He wakes up every morning asking if today is karate and looks forward to practice and move up in belts and be the best he can be. The instructor mr. Coppock is a great guy and very knowledgeable. Great place I really recommend it.

Dave Coppock is an extremely great Karate teacher. My son is 10 years old. He has been taking classes with Mr. Coppock for about a month. His self esteem, confidence and the style is growing by leeps and bounds. I would recommend Coppock to anyone.I am going to start taking classes here as well.

The only Karate Dojo for me for 18 years, now. Mr Coppock loves Kenpo and loves teaching. I have brought friends here, and I have brought my children here. The rates are reasonable, testing is free, and if you don't love it, you can cancel at any time.Mr Coppock teaches basics, footwork, forms, sets, self defense techniques, and sparring. He provides an environment for you to stretch yourself and face new challenges while showing you how to tailor the system to your own unique strengths.It is rare for an instructor to realize they are still a work in progress, and have the confidence to teach... to be the balance between humility and certainty. Dave Coppock is there. He lives the art and encourages you to do the same.

I notice in practice David has passion in what he does and show that he cares & want ALL the kids to become great. Friendly staff. Great instructor. Spacious space. We are staying here , this will be my son second home to help him grow and become the best he can be. I know David has the best insterest for my son and the rest of the kids. I cant wait for the future with CKKA! THANK YOU DAVID SO MUCH!! This means alot to me.

This school has been exactly what my 9 year old needed. Her self esteem and self discipline have both improved. She's more respectful and is really having a great time. She asks me every single day if she can go to karate. Mr Coppock is so great with the kids. Definitely a 5 star experience!
