Green's Karate 5319 Ringgold Road, Chattanooga, TN 37412

"There are not enough words to express how grateful I am that we found Green's Karate. Both of my kids are eager to go to class and practice at home. Sensei Green is patient, engaging, and a true wealth of knowledge. His passion for karate pours over into everything he does with the class and he goes out of his way to build his students confidence and grow their love for karate as well."

"Terrible experience. Sensei Green had little patience with my 3 year old. He said things like “why aren’t you getting this” and told me in front of my son that “if he didn’t listen now, he wouldn’t ever learn to.” Sensei Green also used his own hands to grab my child’s arms to get him to go wherever it was he wanted him to go. Absolutely not okay. The Sensei’s expectations for a 3 year old were unrealistic and the class was not set up for toddlers. Sensei really expected my toddler to stand on that tape and stay there. Hilarious! We quit after 3 classes. I’m surprised he works with children with disabilities."

"My son loves coming here ! Best karate in Chattanooga, hands down. Multiple classes, multiple days a week. See Sensei Green if you want to learn REAL karate."

"I signed my boyfriend’s child up for classes here because we both felt he needed something to help give him more confidence, plus he wants to be a ninja when he grows up. We were unfortunately late for the first lesson, which they offer for free, but during the bit of time spent there everything seemed okay, so we went ahead and bought a package. He took him to his first full class. The first teacher was great with him. He was patient and good with the kids. However towards the end of the class Sensei Green took over. He was not so patient, and at one point even asked my boyfriend’s son, “Why aren’t you getting this?”. That was pretty alarming to me because we signed him up so his confidence could improve, not for him to be made to feel like he’s not good enough, which is exactly how a questions like that is going to make a child feel. So we’ll be finding another dojo. I really surprised because they advertise that they frequently work with special needs kids, so I had really high hopes for this place. I just wanted to warn all the parents looking into martial arts classes for their children. If you want someone who’s going to teach using encouragement and compassion, then you may want to move on to the next place. To clarify, the other teachers there seemed great and we would have continued classes if not for Senei Green."

"Sensei Green is a wonderful instructor and cares so much about his students. He is very patient and so great with all ages. They really want all of their students and parents to feel apart of the family."
