“My daughter started in July and absolutely loves JC Karate!! Master JC is so special and has an incredible way of making learning and personal growth fun! The other instructions we have had the pleasure of working with are also great and bring their own added value to my child’s practice. The monthly “homework” is a great way to bring conversation surrounding the values that the students are taught in karate into the home. I have loved having these thoughtful conversations with my daughter and now having mutually shared language to bring/reinforce these awesome values into our home. My daughter also has a new found sense of confidence and sense of belongingness, which is invaluable! We cannot recommend JC Karate enough!“

“Junior and senior are great! My daughter loves it there. I love how they expect everyone to do their best. No excuses. Extremely reasonably priced!“

“There are many martial art schools out there to select from. I recommend 100% + Alex Ziwak Martial Arts. Why? Alex is a seven degree black belt and knows many other types of material art disciplines plus an expert in self defense. He is humble, down to earth type of guy. If you join you will definitely learn techniques and be in better shape in time. I had always a great experience there when I was younger but never forget my own comfortable techniques if ever needed. Martial Arts is all about respect for others and able to defend yourself when needed. Consider yourself lucky and blessed to learn under Alex.“

“Awesome one on one with my little one. He had great patience and works well with kids.“

“One of the best Grand Masters with passionate masters! Very family friendly classes!!!“

“Great academy, been training here since 2010 and made some of the best friends in my life here as well.“

“My kiddo loves her Sensei, and looks forward to Aikido more than anything else on the schedule! It's a wonderful learning environment, fun, and terrific for her self-esteem!“
