"Sensei Gabe is great!! They all are really but he's had a connection with my boys from the first day! The staff is firm yet fun and it motivates the kids to do their best!! The staff and parents are so welcoming from the first time you walk in the door!"

"Both of my girls are attending since 2020 after school program & Karate classes. We love this place Coach “Maggie” is a great add on to the team ! She is great! Thank you for everything you do !"

"Update: Another year in Summer camp! This time around my 6 y.o has joined the 12 y.o and they are both having a blast. The kids are put into groups with kids similar in age. They get to meet new people and make new friends. I don’t have to worry about taking them out for the summer because Karate Academy does it all! They go swimming, to the movies, Arcade, bowling, Six Flags, etc. All the coaches are awesome! My boys are also part of the After school program and are in the Martial classes. Karate Academy is like a second family. 2022: Summer Camp just keeps getting better and better! This is the fourth year my 11 y.o goes to the camp and not once has he been disappointed. He loves the field trips, making new friends, and the coaches! They have this cool system that makes it easy to communicate with all of them at once via text message, someone always responds. This was the first summer my 5 y.o also attended and he really liked it too. The kids are divided into groups by age, so they can play with kids in their own age range. He wasn’t scared and felt welcomes by all. Thank you Karate Academy for always making sure my kids have a great summer! P.S. you algo get to join this exclusive FB group for parents where you can see pictures and videos of the many activities they get to do. Makes me feel like I’m missing out."

"My son started Karate Academy in January and absolutely loves it! He came back from karate tonight so proud after working hard and earning another stripe! The teachers are the right amount of compassionate, educational, and tough! My son loves it so much that he had his bday party there in April...and let me tell you... Karate Academy knows how to throw the BEST kids birthday party!!! It was so well organized and the kids were entertained from beginning to end. It was one of the few birthday parties we've thrown that didn't feel like work. We love this place!"

"My kids have been going to the after school program and I love it! I am very overprotective of my kids so much so every coach knows me, but that why I enjoy it! All the coaches are so amazing and understanding. Coach Maggie is my daughter favorite person! I would definitely recommend them, only thing I wish they would work on is parent pick up. I don't like the idea of anyone being able to pick the kids up with out being questioned but that could me being over protective again, because it's close off and you have to tell them who your picking up, just wish they could add a little extra security, as in asking to id the person unless the parent let them know ahead of time or in my cause they know the parent that's picking them up. My kids love it so, I love it! The price is fair and everyone is so amazing!!"
