Our 5 year old has been in his class since April and has learned a lot and has made friends with all the kids. I stay for the class, there is plenty of seating for parents and coach interacts with everyone and makes jokes, we're laughing a lot. The kids get plenty of water breaks and each class usually ends with sparring. I have tried the adult class and never did jiujitsu in my life. It doesn't matter what level you're at when you join a class, coach and other people training will help you. While I haven't signed up for jiujitsu yet I have joined the morning conditioning workouts on M, W, & F mornings. It is an hour of intense training that includes running, high intensity intervals, and strength training with weights and body weight. I love it! I have been doing it since May and plan to continue inevitably :-)

They acknowledge her in class and during tournaments. They make her feel like a big kid which motivates her to be the best that she can be.  Not only do my children feel great while they are at Karate; I feel great as a parent knowing that my children are learning karate skills and great life lessons.  Valentin Karate offers so many activities for its families and they give so much to the community.   My children not only benefit from learning Tang Soo Do, but they have the opportunity of being part of a second family that nurtures them by giving them self-confidence, discipline and respect for themselves and others. Master Valentin owns and operates Valentin Karate and works along with his spouse, children, siblings and nieces and nephews and so many great instructors.  He stresses that every student is part of his family.  His devotion to his students, his great sense of humor, his knowledge and his extensive experience make him a great instructor and a successful business owner. He regularly visits all three of his locations to offer encouragement to his students.  His brother, Master O, is the Master of the Berlin location.  He is an extraordinary instructor and a man of integrity.  He encourages dialog and communication with parents and students.   He makes students' learning experience fun while instilling the respect and honor that the art of Tang Soo Do deserves.  He continuously goes over and beyond to make my children feel proud and feel like super stars.  He is such a valuable asset to Valentin Karate.   We are so privileged to be a part of this wonderful karate family.

Their instructor is are amazing, especially the toddler teach Ms.Nalani - she controls the group of kids so well helping them accountable, engaged, and motivated! Sensi Ricks random drop ins are my son's fav! They equally include karate fundamentals into a play time that is challenging and fun. My son has learned to be never give up, do his best, and is slowly learning that mistakes are okay as long as we're putting in the effort. I can't wait for my daughter to start- she has even caught on to their forms and structure. Their pricing is reasonable, including strip testing, uniforms and belts all in one (which wasn't offered at many other places we locked into). I am excited for him to continue. My favorite part is the check ins from staff with personalized video and text message. We love it so much we decided to throw his birthday party there this year too. Highly recommended for your toddler for some structure and learning. To be forward the children are held accountable. We have seen children be removed from class for not listening, or loose their privileges. While some may think this is intense, it's exactly what our son needs. They are respectful, and fair to all the kids, and do a great job and introducing these little life lessons!

Beyond learning martial arts, they've gained confidence in every sense--physically, mentally, and emotionally. They carry themselves with more focus, discipline, and self-belief, both inside and outside the school. The instructors are exceptional: supportive, professional, and deeply committed to each child's growth. They create a positive, structured environment where kids feel encouraged, challenged, and valued. The facility is always clean and well-organized, and the community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Leadership Martial Arts is more than just a martial arts school--it's a place that helps kids build character, confidence, and life skills. We are grateful to be part of this program and highly recommend it to any parent looking for something truly impactful for their children. Thank you to Sensei Rick and the entire Crew!!
