Dojo's Family Martial Arts 120 Southeast Laurel Street, Waukee, IA 50263

"Intial review: Our kids recently started karate here and have quickly asked to join the camps and Parents Night Out events. They LOVE coming here and enjoy learning karate and just having fun as kids. The instructors send text messages and post on social media so you can see your kids are having a great time, they are very welcoming to parents and kids. Such a positive and fun place to be! We are thankful that our community has such a great and supportive place for the kids. They are very reasonably priced, particularly if you have more than one child attending. The instructors are kind, confident, and positive role models! Kids are treated with respect and they learn to be respectful in return. I have so many good things to say about them! Give them a try and you won't be sorry! Updated Review: It has been 2 yrs since my initial review and I can't say enough positive things about our experiences here. My kids adore the instructors and although they are different ages, ranks, and skill levels they both enjoy coming to the dojo. They work hard and have learned the importance of a good attitude. Alex & Sebastián are amazing and so supportive of the kids. They are excellent role models and leaders in our community. Such a treasure to get to know them over the years!"

"This dojo is absolutely incredible. My kids have flourished in the short time we were here. Ms. Alex is a truly inspirational person that has attracted and trained some remarkable talent and personalities. All of the instructors and assistants are outstanding. The way she maintains discipline while tempered with patience, compassion and fun (especially thanks to Mr. Sebastian) is truly remarkable. I think that in our travels it will be next to impossible to find a dojo or instructors as remarkable as this one. Thank you all so much for everything. You have made quite an impact in our children and our lives!"

"Our son loves Dojos Family Martial Arts. It's a great place to learn more than just karate moves, but also leadership skills. If you are looking for a place that has a sense of community and does a wonderful job of teaching your kids personal responsibility I highly recommend this place."

"My boy started karate here because we were looking for a safe, fun environment for him to get some energy out. We continue because we love the staff, the lessons and the activities they offer, like camps and Parents Night Out events. Kids LOVE coming here and enjoy learning karate and just having fun. The staff are great with sending text messages and posts on social media. The instructors are kind, confident, and positive role models!"

"My 12 almost 13 year old is engaged and encouraged by this program! He is happy with the class length. I am happy he can go as many as 4 times a week if he wants to. They let him try out the younger class and the older class to see which one he was more comfortable with. He is a first timer and this is the perfect place to start! I encourage parents to check this place out!"
