Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu

Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts school that focuses on developing both physical skills and character in its students. Through a unique "black and blue" stripe system, students earn stripes for self-defense and character skills, such as discipline and respect, which are learned through attending classes and daily character lessons. The school's instructors, led by Mr. Tong, prioritize teaching character skills outside the classroom as well, helping students develop emotional control and confidence. Parents have reported significant growth in their children, including improved behavior, effort, attention, and increased confidence and interest in physical activity. Warhorse Karate • Jiu Jitsu is an excellent choice for kids who want to learn a new skill and grow as a person.

Students love coming to class, as they are energized and fully engaged throughout the sessions. Mr. Tong's dynamic leadership and experience working with children keep the activities moving at a lively pace. The belt system requires students to achieve milestones in character development, which parents can either approve or not. This has led to remarkable attitude shifts, with children becoming more self-motivated and interested in showing respect to themselves and others. The school uses an app to communicate events and updates, and Mr. Tong is responsive to parents via text. While parents are not allowed inside the dojo, they can watch from outside, where a small community vibe has formed.
