My granddaughter wanted to try kickboxing, so I signed her up at Karate America. To her surprise,…read moreI signed up as well. We signed up for both Kickboxing and Self defense, both excellent values. What a great way to have fun and get in shape with your kid! The people who practice there are all encouraging and kind. The instructors are talented in accelerating physical abilities and learning martial arts. They are also great with people, understanding that we are all different, and they are the best at helping people fit in and get the most out of the classes. I am especially appreciative of the manner they teach personal discipline, with love and respect. The Self-defense and martial arts training provided builds confidence, strength, flexibility, and balance. And will inspire one to do more with their life. And you don't have to be in shape to start, they will help you start from where you are. Join up, and make real progress fast. That's from my personal experience at Karate America. Absolutely excellent.

The kid programs states that it will promote physical fitness, balance and coordination, mental focus, discipline and self confidence. Hell, most adults I know would benefit from this!

My daughter just became a black belt and has blossomed to be a driven and confident kid.

My husband even started this month! The instructors are the right balance of informative, patient and supportive. They provide lots of helpful and fun stories to give overall insight into self control, discipline and honor. Something I have greatly appreciated. Pricing and scheduling is extremely simple and easy to setup within the app. They post upcoming events and provide instructive videos all in the app so you have it for practice at home too. The membership allows you to pick and choose which classes fit your schedule so if you miss a Monday you can join the Tuesday class instead and get the full flexibility you need. Easily the best decision for my family.

Students are praised on how well they do outside of the class as well, and are encouraged to bring notes from their parents and school papers with good grades. Each month they focus on a different goal while they learn their moves. Adults can train here, too, but they train alongside the kids. They have programs where you can earn your black belt in 3 years. The only reason why I didn't keep my son here is that they are a bit out of my budget. Otherwise, they are an excellent karate school.
