American Karate in Wentzville, MO, has been a fantastic experience for our daughter. She has been attending for years, starting in the ninja program, and she has loved every part of the journey.

Before starting with AK, we looked into different dojos and was basically told that our daughter would have to be in class twice a week, no exceptions. We discovered AK, met with Mr. Norton and started the next available ninja class. 2 years later, she is in youth karate and earned her 2nd yellow belt!
