Our 8 year old asked to start karate after watching the Ralph Macchio movies! We called the Dojo and Sensei Smith himself answered right away! We started the next night and never looked back. If you’re looking for community and discipline for your family, this is THE place to be. If anyone in your family is interested in martial arts, I cannot recommend Smith Family Dojo enough!
I’ve had the privilege of training with this instructor, and he is truly exceptional. His knowledge, teaching style, and dedication to his students are second to none. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him will not only improve their martial arts skills but also gain valuable life lessons. Highly recommend!
