My son recently came on board with this great organization. I highly suggest if you have interests in pursuing American Karate Jujitsu etc this would be the place to attend! May it be an adult or if you are seeking a sport for your child /children. The pricing is very fair but more importantly if you are seeking excellent customer service a caring environment for your children a lifetime of positive experiences there is No Other. We are grateful to the owners and staff to have found you. A genuine experience reliable dependable that you can rely on! Thank-you so much!

We have been there for five years and have had a great experience. My kids have learned a lot about martial arts as well as respect and hard work. They also run a great after school program as well as Summer camp. I endorse them wholeheartedly.

A bunch of people recently left a chain of bad reviews to hurt the owners business. Those bad reviews are far from the truth. I've trained here for 15 years. Master Rick is knowledgeable, the staff is friendly and they provide a safe place …

Where do I begin? This place feels like home. Everyone knows how intimidating a Dojo can be; but not this one. Everyone here is welcoming and comforting. My child was very timid and shy when he first came for his trial class. I kid you not, by the second day he was noticeably more confident. I love the change I’m seeing in him, even his behavior in school. The kids here are so nice, respectful, and tells each other how well they are doing; it’s a beautiful thing. My 3 year old who is not in class yet comes to every class to watch her older brother and loves Master Rick with all her heart. He always give her the love back that she seeks from him, it’s a great feeling. Master Rick and his wife are starting to seem like family to us, and we’ve only been here since January 2020. Best money I EVER spent and super affordable, I can’t wait to see what the years have to come!!

My child had recently started coming here. My child is 5 and enjoys coming here thru out the week.Its is a very clean and comfortable environment. Master Ricks takes time with each student to make sure the doing every move correctly to prevent injury. I really enjoy how they build confidence within students. My child came into here shy at first but now has friends all ages. I would recommend this place to everyone.

My son started in August in the summer program. He came home happy and tired everyday. They take great care of them and instill respect for others. Now in the after school program he gets his homework done by the time I pick him up and he looks forward to Saturday classes every week. Oh and did I mention the price is better than any any daycare. We would definitely recommend this place to anybody.
