New Heights Karate Studio

"As a parent, I cannot express how grateful I am to have found this karate studio for my child. We have been attending for over two years now, since my child was only four years old, and we have had nothing but a positive experience. The instructors are top-notch when it comes to teaching the technical elements of taekwondo. They are patient, understanding, and skilled at breaking down complex techniques into simple steps that children can understand. But what sets them apart is their ability to teach young children with kindness, patience, and a gentle touch. They know how to motivate and encourage children to do their best, without being too pushy or aggressive. But it's not just about learning the technical aspects of taekwondo. The studio also emphasizes character development, including discipline, self-control, and persistence. These skills are crucial for children at this age, and the instructors do an excellent job of instilling them in their students. They teach children how to focus and concentrate, how to set and achieve goals, and how to handle both success and failure with grace. Perhaps what I love most about this studio, though, is the family-like atmosphere. The instructors and staff genuinely care about each and every student, and they make an effort to get to know both the children and their parents. It's not just about teaching martial arts; it's about creating a supportive community where children can grow and thrive. Overall, I would highly recommend this karate studio to anyone looking for a place to help their child develop both physically and emotionally. The instructors are skilled, patient, and caring, and the emphasis on character development and community makes it a truly special place. Five stars all around!"

"My son started doing karate here at 4 years old. He is now 7, and we both do it (why watch when you can join along?)! The instructors are fantastic. They work you hard, and it's tough, but you learn a lot and they keep it light enough to be fun but serious enough to be productive. There are other options in Macon for martial arts, but if you want the best (the proof is in the national championship pudding) for yourself or your children, there's no other option."

"This is such a great place. Teaches my kids about respect, confidence and perseverance while I too get to enjoy the workouts. Highly recommend for kids and adults. The instructors are high quality and truly inspirational."

"Best decision we made for our son! He has grown in skill and confidence as he has been taught and empowered by Mr. Conkel and Miss Kilar. The atmosphere is fun while pushing the students to do their very best. Also a great Karate family! We can’t say enough about how wonderful this has been for our son!!"

"We love New Heights Karate! Ms. Kilar and Mr. Conkel are so wonderful with the kids. It's a great atmosphere and a great place to be! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!"
