Our son, Sean, has been attending classes at New Tampa Karate, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Sensei Eddie is an outstanding instructor who is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about helping each student grow—not only in karate but also in confidence, respect, and discipline.
The dojo has a welcoming, positive atmosphere where students are challenged while feeling supported.
We highly recommend New Tampa Karate and Sensei Eddie to any family looking for a quality martial arts program. Thank you for making such a positive impact on Sean!

Bringing my boys here to learn Karate was the best decision we could have made. Great Dojo with a family environment. The Sensei's are great with the kids. Both my boys started when they were 5. Stop in and start a trial to see if your child would like it. The discipline your child will learn from it is worth it.
