To keep kids safe, respectful and engaged. We signed up for the after school care program (priceless). Being a single parent, I appreciated the support they provided our family. My daughter says yes ma'am at home at it was nice that they reiterated that after school as well. They also set achievable high standards that I appreciated like, make your bed, say thank you, help out at home without being asked, and so on. Mrs. Danielle (one of the owners) is very transparent about how they do things. The kids adore and respect her. It's great knowing we are part of a community here. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for community, discipline, and support.

Unlike many martial arts places, KOTOX puts respect and cooperation above competition. I like how he encourages each student to improve and work hard, and he focuses on the positive. He is especially good at working with young children. My favorite thing about KOTOX, however, is the Family classes. My kids and I can all work out together, and there are usually two to four families in class. The result is some great quality time with my kids, and I get a great workout at the same time. I highly recommend it!

You will definitely get a work out, in a very positive environment. What I like best about this particular school is the "completeness" of the classes. In addition to the physical nature of the content, discipline and positive messages are also stressed. That they are part of the larger Karate International franchise is a plus. I recommend this for any age in any condition.

Yes my daughter had been attending this place for probably over 2 years and I had been asked if I…read morewanted to join so I said what the heck. I came in on a Sunday which is open mat where the owner is not there. I then made the choice to "roll someone who may or may not be on the payroll but is teaching students nonetheless. I had gotten myself into a kimora and this "coach" as they call him did not stop when told to stop or when I tapped on him and said stop which is how martial arts works. 2 seconds later the exact same thing happened only on the other arm and as I say tap and I'm tapping on this guy all he does is twist harder. I confront the owner later when he comes back in and have a long talk. He says that I should have a talk with this person and work it out with him. Needless to say I'm left with two damaged elbows and myself wondering why I'm supposed to confront this guy who clearly has a whole lot of disrespect at least for me on his mind. I don't think it would be right for me to have a conversation with a person who clearly doesn't want to have conversation only wants to twist arms until damage is done. If I was doing something wrong I certainly wasn't being told such. Never would have go beyond that which is a tap or a verbal tap as this guy did. Great place until I had to put myself into the mix. My daughter was learning how to grapple which is all that I wanted. This guy told me how he was the met enforcer for the owner and the owner denied it. Also told me how he used to break people's arms and legs when he was in the martial arts academy that used to be a few doors down. I guess I should have listened to him and never put myself with him. I enjoyed the experience until I got with him. The agenda he had is the agenda he had I can't speak for him. Because my elbows aren't healing I would give zero Stars. I've been forced to give a star.

Its remarkable children's curriculum has brought our daughter through over a decade of wonderful training, and helped to provide so many different positives on various aspects of her development as a human being, at an age when she needs self-confidence, and turning that to both empathy and helping others learn has it just top shelf in my wife's and my opinion. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot, regardless of your age, or your experience, or your physical training/or lack thereof, like myself. I started and joined in with my daughter in my mid-50's a little over a year ago, and I've found so many things to make me glad I did, and didn't just dismiss my age as a given for decline. I'm boxing, as well as doing other martial arts training and loving every minute of it. See ya there! Jason S.

Though I wrestled in high school and dabbled in karate, neither of those prepared me for how much I'd enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu. Seth has a genuine passion for the art and a gift for teaching, which makes him extremely effective as an instructor. Besides being detail-oriented with instruction, Seth is also good at tailoring his teaching to your skill and experience level. This helps new students like me see how fascinating the big picture of jiu-jitsu is, while at the same time refining advanced techniques among the more experienced students. Jiu-jitsu is very addictive because it presents both interesting mental and strenuous physical challenges. That makes it a terrific workout as well as a fun art to practice. Seth has created a school that makes training a pleasure. No matter if you've never grappled before or if you've developed skills over some years in the art of jiu-jitsu, you can learn a lot from Seth -- and have a great time doing it.
