Almeida's Shotokan Karate School​

Hands down the best karate dojo! Our daughter has been a student here for almost 4 years & loves it! She has absolutely flourished as a martial arts student. Also the discipline & hard working attitude she has learned at Almeida's has translated into everything else she does. Most importantly is the fact that this a family run business & the Almeidas as caring people who want the best the kids that go there. They are there to lift the kids up when they are down & cheer then on when they succeed. I wouldnt even think about bringing Julia to a different dojo.
