Be very cautious of the shady and unethical business model. I wish I could tell if the class was worth it but my 5-year-old, being a 5-year-old, did not want to go back after two sessions, so we promptly notified the office. However, every month my credit card is charged for classes that my son is not going to. The owners have disappeared, they do not respond to email, they do not respond to phone calls. I also called the number of the third party that was on the credit card statement and they are what you would expect: bullies and rude. They claimed that there is a contract, but they did not have a copy at hand. After many attempts, they have not been able to provide a copy of a contract, but they warn that if we dispute charges, they will add additional fees and will collect (I can only assume they will send the case to a collection agency).I cannot tell if the classes are good, but the business model (if it can be called that) is unethical considering no one has the courtesy to explain what I am paying for. So far, they have refused to stop charging my card and are not responding to at least refunding for sessions we did not go to (since Oct 2020)!

This is an amazing local karate studio ran by a great family. My nephew has been trading here for several months and loves it and my son is now starting and is super excited. If you're looking for a great karate studio with a strong community and family vibe this is the place!

Great karate studio! Super family friendly with great community vibe. The instructors are the real deal and do a great job not only teaching self defense, but also teach good values, all while making it fun for the kids. Im happy to have such a great studio locally!
