“A Truly Welcoming and Attentive Karate School

We recently attended a free trial class at this karate school, and our experience was exceptional. From the very beginning, the staff and instructors were incredibly welcoming and attentive, creating a comfortable environment for us parents and our son.

What stood out the most was how understanding and accommodating they were regarding my son’s unique behavioral needs. They took the time to communicate with him directly and also engaged in a one-on-one conversation with us, which allowed us to grasp their process, values, and teaching approach. It was clear that their philosophy aligns closely with our own family values.

The flexibility they offer and the genuine effort they put into making everyone feel included and valued are truly commendable. Our son enjoyed his first class, and we left feeling confident and optimistic about the potential benefits of joining this school.

As a family navigating a new sport, we deeply appreciated how informative, and how they made us feel welcome and comfortable. We’d recommend this karate school to anyone looking for a place that prioritizes respect, attentiveness, and community.“

“My son has been at Pathway Karate for 3 years. He is a HS student now, enjoys karate, and has been practicing for almost 10 years now. Pathway is an amazing place and Sensei Mark is an outstanding, patient and lively teacher. I definitely recommend Pathway as a place for anyone's child to attend and learn the art of karate.“

“I have been coming to Villari's Martial Arts Center after finishing pt for a total hip replacement. I have been attending the class Tai Chi for Arthritis. In addition to Tai Chi, Master Leong has also been instructing the class in stretches that have helped my flexibility with my hip. In talking with Master Leong, she has studied with instructors in order to develop this class.In September of 2020, I moved from the Tai Chi for Arthritis to practicing "regular" Tai Chi. I have found it to be very beneficial with my balance and movement. I would highly recommend trying Tai Chi.“

“Great Sensei with a great sense of community and building up our children. Very respectful and knowledgeable.“

“The trainer was awesome. He has lot of patience in training my 3 year old son. My son was enjoying the moves.“

“I've been attending Kodokai's adult classes for just about a year. In that time, I have seen remarkable changes in every area of my life. While I have learned invaluable self-defense skills, I've also grown in my humility, courage, and critical thinking.

As someone with teaching experience, I am amazed by the classroom setting cultivated in the dojo. Regardless of age or background, Kodokai is a safe space. The instructors (Sensei and Kim) are highly qualified individuals. Plus, they are some of the kindest, most patient, and encouraging people I've met. The students are equally warm-hearted and supportive towards everyone. I've had no encounters with unfriendly drama or cliques.

If you're looking for a school to join, come here! The time and money you and/or your children invest here will be absolutely worth it. Everyone will be happy to have you! :)“
