My son started at Satori this past August and has been having the time of his life! He looks forward to the karate lessons and loves when I say it's a Karate Day. He's made a ton of friends and has learned so many skills in such a short period of time. His birthday was in November and I was so happy to learn that Satori does birthday parties! My son obviously wanted his party there and the staff were so accommodating. It was a hassle free experience for me and the only thing I had to take care of was getting the cake. Satori arranged for the pizza, the goodie bags, and the entertainment for the kids. The best part was that my son was able to break a board and cut his cake with a sword (with supervision from staff of course)! I highly recommend this place and am so happy that we became part of the Satori family!
The instructors are amazing and work so well with the kids. My three year old has the best time when he is there and is learning so much!
My son had been learning Karate for the past 2.5 years. My son is always looking forward to his classes. They are amazing. I strongly recommend them for other kids!
