"We have been so impressed with this karate school for our son. Instructors are so passionate and committed, they command respect from the students in such a kind way. Always amazed by the structure of the lesson with multiple children of varying age levels and ability working together and learning from one another. Instructors call children by name and are fabulous at what they do. Love the flexibility to participate in various class times each week, really caters to busy families nicely. Thank you for what you do!"

"I am truly humbled to be a student at Woodbury National Karate. I found a school willing to take me on. I am 68 yers old. I had my first lesson with Master Carnahan on September 6, 1989 when I was 35 years old. Many of my friends and family couldn’t understand why I would start doing such a physical and mentally challenging sport at my age. I was simply tired of the treadmill, yoga and gym classes. I am thankful for my instructors: Ms Paula Aburto, Mr Jesse Zaragoza, Mr R. Zaragoza and Mr J. Zaragoza.They each have the patience of a saint working with me. I really appreciate the expertise and experience of the instructors. In addition to being experts in their fields, they are wonderful people in all ways. They have been good to me since day one. My age limits me sometimes for certain moves, but my instructors inspire me to work hard and do the best I can. Proper form and doing good karate all stem back to the school giving you your training. It is truly a humbling experience to be trained in such an excellent school with instructors who understand me."

"My 9 year old has been going for about a year and we are very happy with their program. She loves the teachers and the classes. We go 3-4 times a week and are really happy we found National Karate. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a healthy and educational activity for their children. The instruction and classes enhance my daughter's confidence and focus."

"Woodbury National Karate is top notch! All of the instructors have high standards of excellence and do a fantastic job of working with every single student to reach their full potential. When we signed up our daughter I did not anticipate how much she would love karate, but 6 years later she is still going strong and I believe a big reason is the passion and drive of the owners and instructors."

"We absolutely LOVE Woodbury National Karate. Before joining, my son had little self confidence and talked so quietly. He is a totally different kid now and it has only been just over 6 months. The teachers are great with the kids and very patient. I recently re-signed my son up for a year and am very happy with his progress. The classes are fairly small so kids get the attention they need. I highly recommend if you are looking for a great karate school."
