USK Karate Academy - Coral Springs East

I can't say enough good things about USK...but if you are looking for a place that the people have your child's best interest at heart... then what are you waiting for? Below is what my 12 year old had to say.My experience with USK so far has been an absolute BLAST. I have learned so many things such as control of power, humility, self-control and so much more! The instructors are understanding and compassionate but also very good at their job. It is a safe and fun environment with many obstacles you can learn to overcome. Not only do I learn life lessons, I also learn how to protect myself in situations of danger. USK is amazing!#I❤USKMark-Anthony, 12 yrs old

My son has been attending USK Karate since he was 3. We were looking for an activity that would focus on his gross motor skills and help burn off some 3-year-old boy energy. USK Karate is that and so much more. As a Kindergarten teacher and mom, I couldn’t be more pleased with the way the teachers interact with all the students. Respect and discipline are taught through consistency and routine and delivered in a kind, fair manner. The classes are age-appropriate and the teachers go out of their way to make personal connections with each child. I highly recommended USK Karate!

This review is 2 years in the making. My son started USK the week he turned 5. At that time, we were concerned with some aspects of his personality. He was shy, cried easily, was not assertive and more of a follower than a leader. We knew he had some self-confidence issues and it was showing through in his daily behaviors. We were new to the Coral Springs area, so I looked online and found USK, read so many positive reviews and decided to give it a try. We did the 6 week trial program to start. We thought this would be a good amount of time to see if it was a good fit for our son. At first, we couldn't get Ethan onto the mat. The instructors at USK, were patient with him knew exactly how to gain his trust, they asked for his help, and he became a helper, after they earned his trust, he started participating more and more, and every week got better. After six weeks, there was a significant improvement in Ethan's behavior, and there was actually no way I wasn't signing up to be a part of the USK Family! The first belt graduation came along, and we were very excited to move past that white belt, but Ethan was still scared and cried, and ran off the floor over to me, and did not participate in the first graduation. He watched from the bleachers. Slow and steady and consistent work with the amazing, and caring instructors at USK has helped my son with his confidence. Fast forward to his graduation belt ceremony exactly TWO years later, and my son was picked as the leader of his class to lead the ceremony. He is now the senior belt level of his class, and leads the opening of the class all by himself. The amount of courage and confidence he has built from age 5 to 7 is incredible and never would have occurred without the help and assistance of the USK leadership team. My son is a better little human in a short amount of time all from his experience at USK. It is the best investment in the cultivation of his personality that we could have ever done. #bestdecisionever

This is really one of the best if not THE best karate school in Coral Springs. Their instructors are 100% committed to your children. We truly feel at home at USK. Our little guy is especially excited when Garcia is in charge of teaching the class.

Its more then just karate kicks and blocks. Its a mind set. A discipline combining mental strength & courage with compassion. Problem solving in a team & individually. That is what drives the instructors & students at USK. USK teaches our kids and the parents who watch or who have joined all of the above & counting. They strive to understand and build each student independently and as a whole. Giving everyone a chance to be the best they can be. They have a no man left behind or forgotten motto. What an amazing quality to instill. I have always been a strong believer in the phrase " Lead by example",I found that, with the leadership team at USK. Thank you to the Team Leaders & Owners who take pride in their mission to build a stronger community, MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY. My family will forever feel at home at USK KARATE.

USK Karate is the school to send your children to for building strength, character, discipline and friendship. My grandchildren have been attending for 4+ years and remain dedicated and confident in their progress. I for one am thoroughly impressed with the leadership and highly recommend their school.

My son has been attending classes for just over six months. We were interested in finding an activity that balanced physical activity and discipline. What we got was much more. He is learning team work; respect for his friends and adults; and building confidence in his physical abilities - all above and beyond what we originally expected when he was enrolled. The instructors absolutely love their jobs which is transferred to the care for the kids - each child is attended to and each one's needs are meet specifically according to their personalities and even more so to their moods on any given day - they push the kids to do their best while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and friendly. I am amazed at their ability to hone in on the needs of each child, truly as if they were their own. Enrolling my son has been one of the absolute best decisions we have made for him - I love the time spent watching him continually improve in so many ways inside and outside of class.

Even several years later, I can still see the positive influence the training had on my kids. What's more, they see it too. This is THE best martial arts school in south Florida. So many great people and an amazing experience.

My son started a few weeks ago, his dad insisted in getting him involved in something. I will say I was a bit hesitant. This class has been good for both my 4 year old and I. We both needed to work on a bit of separation. The staff is amazing and very loving. I am so pleased! Noah looks forward to each class.

Beware! You will love this place!We got into Karate for our little one, soon later the whole family started doing (14 yr daughter, 5 yr daughter, husband and wife).We got a little concerned about being white belts at our 40s.. but we are having fun.For example: I am a computer's software engineer, and this activity is not only putting me away from my iPhone and do something away from the computer, it's actually helping me putting my body and my mind into a better shape.This is a family place. You get to know nice people in a very nice environment.I can see the instructors have a nice work environment, and that translates on how they approach kids and adult students.I'm sincerely writing this for the good results I'm seeing on my family.
