Shisei Karate DoJo is a great place to train! My son has been training at Shisei Karate DoJo for…read more3+ years now and he loves every minute of it. Sensei Carlson is tough but fair and I do believe the students appreciate the discipline. In addition to karate, he teaches honor, confidence and respect. My son has really gained lots of self confidence since joining the Shisei Karate DoJo, not to mention some really nice karate skills. If you are always looking for a pat on the back, this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a serious place to learn Goju Ryu Karate and you are ready to put in some hard work, I highly recommend Shisei Karate DoJo.

I always thought that the best way to measure a business is how they act when things are not going well and I feel good about how they reacted. I've currently made a commitment to try ice hockey and a soccer league for my son. Once those are done this spring, I plan to reach back out to them to see how my son would do with them. Thanks Balkan e Martial Arts!

In a world of tablets, phones, and tv screens it can be hard to have the important talks with your kids with their attention but balance does a great job of teaching them important values while engaging them in fun and practical lessons that will keep them fit! Their new space is spacious, clean and in a great location as well.

I was invited to a Birthday Party at Apex Yong- In Martial Arts and I was so excited to see how the…read moreparty would be structured and to my surprise it was absolutely amazing. When we first walked in we were greeted at the door we were asked to take our shoes off and given a cape + mask (the theme of the birthday party was superhero) we were running a little behind, so when we arrived the Yong -In students were performing they did an amazing show for the kids. They broke boards, dance to a popular song that small children would like and performed some their moves this kept the kids attention. When the performance was over they allowed the children from the Birthday party to come on the floor. They taught them moves and taught them about Martial Arts. I was very impressed with the staff. One guy in particular that stood out was a young man who ran the activities for the kids. He was so attentive and very good with small children. The birthday flowed well and the entire family that worked there was involved. The place was clean and the bathroom was too. One of my favorite things was when they left the kids break a board and then they cut the cake with an actual sword. So cool. Overall this place is amazing and I think it would be the perfect place to host a party and attend class here if you can. Great staff + awesome atmosphere. The parking is great too as the martial art studio is inside of a shopping center.

One of the things I really appreciate about Kyoushi Don's approach is the clear focus on learning the art of karate as a family experience. We are encouraged to and supported on how to best practice different techniques at home. Ancient Arts Karate is not just some activity or sport kids do after school: it offers a comprehensive journey for young men and women to become their best selves and become role models for their families and communities.

They not only delivered on a great environment for our children, Cole and Logan but also were attentive and welcoming. They have been excellent in communicating and keeping us parents informed at all times and were always there to reach out to with any questions. It is evident from the first moment you meet Sensei Houston how important it is to him and Ms. Celie to ensure every customer, child and family member is treated with the highest level of customer service. Rather than treating you as just a client it is more like dealing with a friend. Thanks again for everything you have done for our Twins! We will continue to recommend you to everyone we know.

Master Beddow, Mrs. Beddow and their team are incredible. They care about your child both in the class and out of it. Each cycle of classes centers around a key character area. As an example, this cycle's topic is Respect. Master Beddow and the team talk with the class about what it means to demonstrate respect. As a parent I can talk about respect till I'm blue in the face, but having another adult, or black belt instructor, teach them about respect can truly make a difference. Listening while the class is occurring provides me with the ability to reinforce what the instructors have shared so we're all teaching and saying the same things. I wholeheartedly recommend Vision Martial Arts of Cary!

Master Beddow is a very charismatic and respected leader, and teaches the children good values along with self defense. Mrs. Beddow keeps everything organized so you are always in the know. You can usually get a few lessons for free to see if your child likes it. We had our son's last birthday party there and it could not have been better. He was most excited about wearing the honorary black belt and cutting the cake in half with a sword! If you want your child to learn better disciple while getting exercise at the same time, you should consider Vision Martial Arts.
