“We love Pro Taekwondo! Master Rhyne, Rachel and Gabby are all wonderful with the kids, instilling confidence and a "black belt attitude" at each session. They do a great job of mixing praise with constructive criticism, keeping the kids motivated and moving. Highly highly recommend.“

“We were thoroughly impressed with our one on one lesson with Master Lee. Master Lee is absolutely wonderful with kids. He has structure, and discipline, but a warm and fun spirit that makes learning incredibly enjoyable. We love his positivity! Not to mention he pays close attention to proper form. My boys loved their private lesson and trial class so much, we are joining! We look forward to watching our children develop in this practice.“

“It's fantastic place for kids to learn martial arts. All the masters took good care of my kid“

“A great dojo for both kids and adults alike that teaches traditional Okinowan Karate with a focus on both physical and character development. I have a 7 year old and 15 year old that attend the Kai as do I. I have spent 23 years studying Isshin-Ryu and this Dojo has got it right. There are a very large number of black belts who have been rigorously tested to ensure they are fully knowledgeable in the art which translates to students getting the expert personal attention needed to progress in their development. The Kai and this dojo are run by Soke Kristensen who is a 10th degree black belt and both a World Martial Arts and Isshin-Ryu Hall of Fame inductee.“

“Been going to the self defense class and it's amazing! The instructors are very nice and the moves are effective and easy to learn. You don't have to know anything about anything to start out, the instructors will guide you. A fun and simple way to learn to protect yourself!“

“I have been a student for over 2 years now. And I have always loved it. You will learn many life lessons from this. Such as discipline, respect, and much more. And you will learn how to defend yourself when in an emergency.“

“I took my daughter today to the kids open mat and I was extremely impressed with all aspects of this gym. Coach Rocky was fantastic, extremely welcoming and great with the kids. We will definitely be back for more open mats. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.“
