My whole family goes here to learn Karate. My two daughters live this place and the teacher is very gentle and empathetic and gives many moral lessons to deal with day today life to children. She manages many kids in each class very well. Their after school program with school pickups is very successful for kids to learn karate and crafts.

We live the class and plan to continue for many years to come.
