I was looking for something, ANYTHING, to get my teenager into. We have a rule in our home that…read moreyou must do something active, one activity at a time, but you have to be doing something. Well this all went out the window when the pandemic hit and our then 5th grader was stuck home for essentially three years. Around the two year mark we tried floating ideas by them, they tried to go back to basketball, nope no interest. So when I found Z-Ultimate I was convinced that this would be another hit and miss - but boy was I wrong. First of all going into this place they were SO warm and welcoming. They focused their attention on my child and not me, and made sure they understood what was going on and what the process would be. When my kid told me this was the place they wanted to be, they walked me through the pricing in a very clear and efficient was and scheduled out our personal lessons on the spot. In addition to all the above they are so cognizant of anxiety and great with personal pronouns. I cannot thank Z-Ultimate enough for their dedication to my child.

West Family Martial Arts was a perfect fit for our needs this summer. My 9 year old grandson was…read morevisiting for 10 weeks and he wanted to continue with his martial arts training. Master West responded immediately with a potential plan. We had an evaluation scheduled for the day after his arrival, attended a few trial classes, and he was attending an appropriate skill level class twice a week. The class schedule had some flexibility to allow for his other planned activities. Master West provides the individual attention and assistance to each participant, and he helped my grandson bridge the small knowledge gaps. The program includes building self confidence and respect for others which was exhibited by the support and inclusivity of the other students. We'll be back next summer, for sure.

This is our family's first martial arts experience, and my 6yr old and 8yr old are loving it!…read moreMaster West and Master Vincent really meet each kid at their level, which is extra impressive because they manage kids at different belt levels within one class. My kids also clearly find the belt and stripe system very motivating, and are excited to take on new challenges to keep making progress. Before starting, I was admittedly nervous about the time commitment (2 classes/wk) and whether my kids would fit in. But we're a month in to classes, and they are more and more enthusiastic each time they go!

It has done wonders for his development, both physically and mentally. Master Kim's programs create disciplined, respectful children. I wish I did this when I was a kid! Master Kim is an amazing teacher and so great with kids. He has become a positive presence for both of our kids and is such a great person to have in our community.

I wasn't sure about getting my almost 4 year old into an activity since he was very attached to me…read morebut this experience was amazing. Master Kim is so good with the kids. He has a way of being calm and patient while also getting them to listen and engage with him and the other kids. We saw my son go through a complete transformation. He became more confident, learned some values, learned to take direction, and also learned martial arts. My husband and I call Master Kim Mister Miyagi. He is very calm and truly connects with the kids and parents. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a boy from his dad who is a Supreme Grand Master.

My daughter has been attending Samurai Karate Academy for the last few months and I am nothing but…read morepleased. The instructors are all engaging and work well with the younger kids. Young students get lots of personal attention. Shihan Ian Harris is amazing and obviously truly cares for his students. I am extremely glad a friend of mine talked me in to trying it out! Finances are very tight but this is money well spent at $75/month (for kids). They do not do contracts but you will want to stay.

My son, 15 years old went to try it out at this dojo for the first time. He came back with bleeding…read morein the mouth/lip/nose, and also claimed that he was hit at his cheek and both sides of his head by two black belt instructors. I understand they teach a form of contact karate, however I do not understand that why they allow the black belt instructors to hit ( or even have a close contact) on a teenage boy's face/head on the first visit to the dojo. They train each other without helmet or hand-pads, which is not a safe practice who try a contact karate for the first time as a young boy. I was shocked and very disappointed about how rough they are to my son. They should know how to control/teach to someone new. Hitting the head/face should NOT be ok without a proper protection. I would not recommend this dojo to any young children.

What started as a promising, well-structured program turned into a deeply disappointing experience…read more My son, who had progressed steadily, began receiving inconsistent evaluations after a management change. Despite attending summer camp daily, his evaluation showed a regression--with no clear explanation. When I raised concerns, I was met with defensiveness and vague responses also surprisingly rude attitude. Communication with instructors was discouraged. While the instructors seem capable, the system feels rigid, opaque, and dismissive of parent feedback. We gave this program six months of patience and good faith. Sadly, transparency and accountability were never part of the equation.
