What Parents Say
“Sensai Michael is brilliant with the kids — an excellent mix of firm and fun, and obviously skilled in the art of teaching karate. His encouragement of his sempai's to lead the warm up is also great for the younger kids. Our kids love attending class and have encouraged their friends to participate. I would highly recommend both the sport and this dojo to families.”
