I signed my 5 kids up at American Kenpo Karate and am so pleased with it! The instructor, a sixth degree black belt, David Coppock, is an absolutely amazing instructor and great with the kids. I can't imagine there is a more qualified instructor in Colorado Springs. All of my kids were reluctant to try Karate and all of them were sold after the first lesson. They get in their exercise, learn discipline and self-defense, and are making new friends. In addition to learning how to defend one's self in real-life situations, Mr. Coppock encourages his students to make good grades, obey their parents, and make healthy choices at the end of every class. This is proving to be an excellent investment in my children. And it's very affordable for my big family! We are extremely happy here and expect to be here for a very long time.

I have my 4 yr old son signed up for their little dragons class and he loves it! Looks forward to it every week. I have been grateful for it also as they have a great structure and really encourage self control and discipline and my son has really needed that lately. Mr. Coppock is so patient with the kids and is very kind. As long as we're in Colorado, my son will be a part of his karate class.

Mr. Coppock's school has been a fantastic learning environment for my child. Over the last five years this has been so much more than just learning kenpo as it has added discipline to all areas of my son's life. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff are wonderful. Would recommend to all adults and children.
