Universal Kempo Karate Schools

Jul 2023

I highly recommend Universal Kempo Karate. Every time you enter you will be warmly welcomed by Jamie - who is not just an excellent instructor, but a wonderful human being. Jamie is super friendly and extremely approachable. He makes it a point to have one-on-one conversations with all the parents. Our son absolutely loves the time he spends at Universal Kempo Karate. While he isn’t naturally inclined towards sports, this program has been a great outlet and we haven't observed him get frustrated like with other sports and it's the only place he gets a good dose of exercise. He has advanced rapidly, testament to both his efforts and the nurturing environment of the...read full review

This karate school is inside a church in Edgewater and I have to say the first time I set foot inside I thought to myself what are we doing here....it is not in some flashy studio like some karate schools are, but then as soon as I heard Instructor Greenway talk to the kids and saw him in action, I was immediately glad I gave this place a shot. My son has now been attending these classes for 3 months, and already it has made a huge difference in our lives. Instructor Greenway is amazing and my son and I respect him highly. He teaches these kids skills they need while making it enjoyable for them. I love how the kids shake hands both with him and with each other every class, and I love how he gives each child attention and I am amazed by how well he knows each individual student, as well as every parent! I mean this man has to have over 50 kids attending his classes! My son loves these classes and he enjoys being responsible for his karate equipment and getting ready for class each time. He is definitely more disciplined than when he started, and stronger! My son is 6, and just started a new school. Last week when we went to meet the teachers, he marched across the room, introduced himself and shook the teachers hand, everyone was impressed and I know we have these classes to thank!
