    My son started karate here over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. Signed my daughter up once she turned 4. All the instructors are very well trained and patience with the little ones. Shihan Baxter is world-renowned but still has time to teach the little dragons.

    Great class and structure. My son has taken other forms of martial arts, but we’ve stuck with Baxter Karate the longest. Baxter Shihan makes it feel like he’s really working towards something!

    I signed my two young sons up for karate, and it has been great. As a parent, you’re always looking for an activity that balances physical energy with mental discipline, and this dojo hits the mark perfectly. Even though they are in the same class, the instructors are great at recognizing their different strengths. One is gaining more coordination, while the other is letting out his energy. If you’re looking for a way to help your kids build strength, discipline, and self-esteem (while having a blast), I can't recommend these classes enough
