    My grandson has been taking lessons at you r Elk Grove location for about a year and loves it. I attend almost every week and I am so impressed with the instructor, Sonny Manalotta. (Sorry for the spelling!). Under his guidance, Ben has gained many skills as well as strength and confidence. Thank you Mr. Manalotta and National Karate!
