“I looked around at a number of schools in the area for my son. I wanted to enroll him in karate not to teach him to fight, but because I wanted him to learn self control, community, respect, and also to help him with his strength, especially in his core. My son is special needs and started at age 6. The Sabumnim there realized pretty quickly that a full class setting wasn't a good fit for him. So they sat down with us and rather than say "we can't do this" like so many places had in the past, he said "I think he would do better in private lessons for a while." WOW. So we did that. Still very reasonable in price, but it allowed my kiddo to learn in a setting that was appropriate for him. We did that for 2 years until the instructors invited him into class. Now at age nine, he is almost ready to move up to the bigger kids classes and start the full belt path. The kindness, the patience that the entire Karate Workshop family has is amazing. They understand his issues, but they don't bow to them. He is accommodated to a point, but if his behavior is out of bounds, they call him on it and there are appropriate steps taken to work past it. They don't do the "every six months or weeks you move up a belt" thing here. If you are looking for them to give you a belt rank just for showing up, this isn't the school for you. You or your child have to work to earn it. When you get those stripes and ranks, it's because you deserve to have it. You can actually do what is expected at that level. They also make sure they build community there. All of us feel it, feel welcome and like we matter. We use each others services and promote each other's companies and work. It's a pretty amazing place all around.“
“Great instructor who makes the lessons comprehensive. Nice people to practice with. Great vibe. At the beginning of my training I was very nervous, but soon became comfortable with the instructor and peers.“
“I can’t recommend this school enough. The instructors are thorough with their teachings and patient with any newcomer. If you have any interest in picking up a martial art, I’d highly suggest you start your journey here.“
“This place was the perfect choice for my daughter to learn karate. Couldn't be happier. Her confidence and mentality has progressed positively so much since going here! The teachers are down to earth while being relatable to the kids, but also teaching self discipline, respect for yourself, and others. Even when she is having a bad day, after a class here her mood is always turned around and she is smiling on her way out the door. She is proud of her accomplishments and skills she has learned. Thank you!“
“The respect, compromise, professionalism, and care with my grandson and the other students make me feel in good hands part of the education of him. After a bad experience of bulling, he show more stronger than ever. Thank you!!“
“The teacher there is amazing and the sparring classes really help put what you learned into use. I 100% recommend if you want to learn karate.“
“Great place and great people, with some of the best coaches and instruction in the country. I started at Fort Worth judo as a kid, and am very happy that now I can bring my own kids there.“
“Incredible Instructors that are full of patience and encouragement. They are Not easy, but with encouragement, they manage to get the Best of you.“
“Ok last week this place was such a good experience, we came back again this morning. Our waiter, Santi actually remembered us and what we drank. He was once again super attentive without being a pest or the least bit pretentious. Again this week the manager stopped briefly to be sure all was well. You would think other restaurants would learn from places like City Works....people enjoy a waiter with a genuine personality, management that seems to care the guests are happy....bravo to this team! Once again our food was exceptional, and since we all had pretty much the same as last Sunday, I'll skip the details and just say "outstanding, well made, fresh food at a fair price!“
“My daughter has been at this location for just over a year and it has been a great experience. The instructors are great and we really enjoy coming here. Master Elijah has been working with my little one since she started and she just moved to the advanced level. She has learned so much and is now looking forward to maybe doing jujitsu or the kids kickboxing.Master Tyson treats everyone like family and all the staff are very welcoming.“
“I have attended this school since 2009 and learn something new each class, Master Perez and the instructor team under him are top notch and will teach real life self defense scenarios that anyone could possibly encounter. Not only do you learn self defense, but I have also witnessed students self confidence sky rocket as they realize what they are capable of. I have true love for this academy and it truly feels like family.“
