A great family to join!I started going here from the age of three (1998). I continued all the way until about 2014. I have recently started again and was welcomed back with open arms.

My three children and myself are enrolled. Each child started at age 3. Grandmaster does an amazing job shifting gears to work with very young kids, teenagers and older adults to craft the experience based on the capacities and needs of each individual. This is definitely rigorous training but the payoff for our children and for myself is awesome. This level of training is not for the light of heart. In response to the one negative rating from a year ago, it is true that parents of young children are not allowed to be in the dojo during most of the training time. It seems quite clear that children do better when parents aren't helicoptering and the children have to be accountable and focused. We love the fact that other older children help teach our children and look forward to when our children have that responsibility. This is like "Montessori" karate in that way. We hope that Grandmaster and his great family keep this place going for many decades to come.
