I never thought I’d be into karate, but this school has completely changed my perspective! From my very first class, Sensei Chris was very welcoming and patient, making sure that even beginners like me felt comfortable. His passion for karate is infectious, and the teaching methods are both effective and engaging.
The classes are well-structured, blending physical technique with mental discipline in a way that is both challenging and rewarding. I’ve not only improved my fitness but also gained confidence and a new sense of discipline that I never expected to find.
The community here is supportive, and there’s a genuine sense of camaraderie among the students. It has become a highlight of my week, and I’m genuinely excited to continue my journey with this school. If you’re even remotely curious about karate, give this place a try—you might just fall in love with it, too!
I started at the dojo January 2024 as a New Year’s resolution to get back into hobbies I used to enjoy. The moment I walked into the dojo and met Sensei Chris I felt welcomed and comfortable. Sensei Chris teaches with the perfect balance of encouragement and mindfulness towards your own individual limits while gently challenging you to go further. Now, coming to the end of the year, I look back with proud feelings of my own hard work and dedication backed by the strong support of the community the dojo fosters.
My daughter and I absolutely love this dojo. Sensei Chris is an excellent instructor and the dojo has a great community feel to it with great classes and fun get together evenings for everybody. There is a wide choice of classes for kids and adults which is really fantastic for a busy, downtown life. We are so thankful for this facility!
