“My son has been training with Sensei Ken for about a year, and it’s been a wonderful experience. He loves going to his karate classes, and we can see him getting stronger and more confident each week. Sensei Ken is incredibly caring and has a wonderful way of meeting each child where they are, giving them just the right amount of challenge to help them grow. Sensei also host the wildest Halloween parties for the students. We just celebrated his 4th birthday at Kempo Academy and had the best time for both the kids and the parents! It was such an stress-free celebration filled with laughter and excitement. We can’t wait to keep growing with the Kempo family!“

“We are so grateful and having so much fun at Legacy Martial Arts of Westport! My son is learning to control his body, learning to better listen to directions, and getting those ya-yas out with every lesson. Sensei Pallardi is a magical human and my son can't wait to tell him all the things that are happening in his five-year-old world every class. We had tried soccer and baseball and neither were the right fit, karate has been the perfect fit for him, and my husband and I know it's because of the wonderful guidance he's receiving from Legacy Westport.“

“Wonderful teaching. The kids learn a little korean and a lot of respect ?. Bill Connolly does a wonderful job instructing, keeping the kids attention, and injecting a healthy amount of humor into his lessons. While watching, I saw my kids laugh, support other kids, and release their energy in bursts of playful shouts, blocks, and kicks. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to bring their child and dip their toes into martial arts.“

“My daughter begged me for karate classes and I was so happy to learn Takahashi was a traditional dojo with a flexible schedule. I knew it was a great fit before my daughter even finished her test class. Sensei Takahashi and Sensei Lisa are both wonderful with the kids. They strike the right balance between firm boundaries and a lighthearted manner, ensuring the kids are staying on task while also having fun. Takahashi Dojo is a very welcoming environment and a great place to learn both the physical and mental elements of karate. Highly recommend.“

“This is a very good Kung Fu school with an amazing teacher. Sifu Chris is exceptional at teaching martial arts to children and adults! His patience and care are evident from the start. I highly recommend this studio!“

“I'm a lifelong student of Sensei Adam's. I started when I was 5. I'm 25 now and his teachings, the friends I've made, and the incredible experience I was given to travel to Japan this past May, I just couldn't imagine my life without it. These martial arts teachings I've studied for 20 years now have shaped who I am today. I don't plan on ever stopping either! To the person reading, if you decide to come on the mat with us, you will have a truly authentic and even life-shaping experience in our dojo. You'll become a part of a close knit group of passionate people, who you'll learn so much from! I hope I see you on the mat!!
