Utah Karate Institute

"Such a great school. Teaching kids a physical discipline in an environment that encourages growth and builds self-esteem. Kids have been here 4 plus years."

"I spoke to the owner over a month ago and he told me he didn't have any openings until today, Oct 14 and 5:45. I signed my 17 year old daughter up for that slot...or so I thought. I had to run to an appointment so I dropped my daughter off and my husband came from work a few minutes later to help her get started. Well, first of all my daughter was asked to leave the waiting room where she was sitting and told she had to wait outside. When my husband arrived, he said the owner told him he had no spots for her and there weren't any openings. I thought that's why we called and spoke a month ago to reserve a spot for today? Mistakes happen but my husband said the owner was very rude and additionally didn't take any steps to make it right. My daughter also felt humiliated at being told she couldn't even wait inside until my husband arrived. I'm sure these guys are great at teaching karate, but customer service is definitely lacking. We will look elsewhere."

"Utah Karate Institute is wonderful! Mr. Burke, the sensei, is one of the best teachers of kids and teenagers I’ve ever met. The perfect balance of discipline and encouragement."

"If there is a finer, more comprehensive, more fun karate instruction in the United States— I’d like to see it! Mike Burke and his dedicated, amazing staff at Utah Karate Institute have programs tailored to every level of instruction: from the beginner to most advanced and anywhere in between. I could not be happier with the results we’ve seen with our son who has been a student for over a year."
