Clayton's Kenpo Karate 435 F Hartford Turnpike, Vernon, CT 06066

"Both my kids take classes and have a great time as well as learning self defense, respect, self respect and accountability. Mr Clayton and all of his instructors are wonderful, hoping to start taking classes for me and my wife too!"

"Clayton's Kenpo Karate has been a great experience for my son. He had trouble focusing in school and in general. Mr. Clayton's class provided self discipline and structure in an out of school activity. At 5, my son was nervous about his first karate test and wanted to quit. Mr. Clayton took the time to sit down with him and talk him through what was making him nervous and built up his confidence. He also makes sure that all students are responsible for their actions in and out of the karate studio. He makes sure they understand what their ownership in their actions are as well. His passion, excitement, and devotion to the art and his students comes out of him every day. He is not there for a paycheck. He is there because he is a genuine teacher who loves working with his students. I also have been taking instruction from him as well and highly recommend him to all my friends. Two of my friends have taken courses because his excitement for the art is so contagious!"

"Mr. Clayton is kind, professional and very welcoming to all families that enter his school. Whether your decision to have your child take karate classes for structure, discipline, confidence or just to have an activity, all of your needs will be met. Your child learns respect for Mr. Clayton, his school, respect for themselves and for their peers. Your child learns about what it means to practice a skill, perform the skill and earn stripes on their belt and advance to the next level belt, as well as advance to the next class. Mr. Clayton is so easy to talk to and he truly wants to know your child and to see them succeed in karate and to be proud of their accomplishments. We have recommended Clayton’s Karate to several other families who have since joined the school as well, and are so glad that they did! We have been a part of the school for almost 2.5 years and have had nothing but an amazing and positive experience for our daughter."

"I attended Mr. Clayton’s karate school many years ago as a student. I was extremely impressed with expansive knowledge of the arts. Some people are just born to teach (Mr. Clayton) and he has that innate ability to really connect with students. He teaches so much more than martial arts, he provides lessons on life. I was so impressed with him that my daughter also attended his school. Mr. Clayton is a man of true character and I highly recommend his school."

"This school is AMAZING!!!!!! Mr. Clayton has an amazing skill an a way with my two kids. We have been attending this Karate school for more than 7 years. The values and discipline he helps to instill in my kids and all the others is great. If you can attend and see first hand how awesome the school is you will never leave. Go check it out and stay forever."
