KDA Karate Academy

KDA Karate is the absolute best Martial Arts school in Columbia. They offer Wing Chun, Dangsoodo,…read moreJapanese Sword, Taijutsu as well as a Ladies Martial Arts class. The instructors: Sifu Mosher, Dan Bernardo, Tina Lewis and Ryan Wineland are the most knowledgeable martial arts and self defense teachers in the area. The price is beyond fair and much lower then you would expect for the expert level of instruction. Also, there is no long term contracts, which is great. There are other schools in the area that offer these arts but don't waste your time. Especially if you're interested in Wing Chun. I can say without a doubt this is the only school offering quality Wing Chun instruction in the Columbia and Lexington area. Sifu Mosher is astounding. Dan Bernardo teaching Dangsoodo and Japanese Sword is a true old school martial artist who is beyond knowledgeable on the history and application of his art. Ryan Winleand's Taijutsu is beyond impressive in it's fluidity and effectiveness. I think he may actually be a ninja. Tina Lewis's will have any lady prepared for the fight and ready to go. Try it out. You won't be disappointed.

From the owner: We currently offer: Classical Dangsoodo "唐手道" - the Korean…read moreexpression of old school Okinawan Karate. It translates literally to "The Way of the Chinese Hand". Our head instructor is the Vice President of the Korea Dangsoodo Association, an international organization with schools all over the world. Wing Chun "詠春" - a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilising both striking and grappling while specialising in close-range combat. Most will recognize this art as the only art Bruce Lee formally studied. Iaido "居合道" - a Japanese sword art centering on the applications of drawing and cutting with the sword. We practice "koryu" or old school Iai rather than a modern style.

The water park is a fantastic way to beat the heat and relax away from the roller coasters, and…read morethis was my first time checking out Paul Metto's Dockside Bar in the adult pool area. The space itself is really nice and even features live music, which adds a great touch. Seating is pretty limited, though, so I'd highly recommend renting a cabana if you visit on a busy day. Unfortunately, the bar service left a lot to be desired. The area was packed, and they only had two bartenders who were a bit slow, especially considering the crowd size. Even though a manager eventually jumped in to help, the line was still taking up to 30 minutes. We actually wanted to buy more drinks, but the wait just wasn't worth it. The frozen drinks are incredibly refreshing on a hot day, but the slow service definitely made them harder to enjoy. I am hoping this improves as this was one of the reasons to get a season pass.

Came to the Waterpark on a Friday around 12:30 pm and visited their adult pool Bar "Paul Metto's…read moreBoathouse Bar" I loved it! Great music and ambiance. Plenty of lounge chairs to choose from and plenty of swimming places in the pool. They have about 4 tabletops in the pool which once it gets busy, it will be hard to snag a spot there. They do have plenty of bar seating and benches inside and around the pool to sit down as well. They do not offer food so you will need to go outside the pool Bar area to purchase some food. They have everything from beers, seltzers, frozen cocktails, and canned wine. Definitely something fun to do on a summer weekend. After, you can always walk the theme park and enjoy some rides afterwards. Love it! They do offer cabanas as well and they offer food if you rent a cabana. This is located immediately to your right when you enter through the Waterpark entrance.

For over thirteen years, my family and I have had several boats at Wateree Marina. Before then, we…read morewere transitioning between Lake Wylie Marina, Long Cove Marina, and Terry's Marina for about 20 years. With all of our experience in boating, my family and I can confirm that Wateree Marina has been the best move thus far. Their owner, his wife, and everyone else who works there knows our names. And they all go out of their way to make sure all of our needs are met. (within reason) When our boat needs repair work, which all boats do, their mechanic Randy ensures it is done correctly. For example, I'll never forget one 4th of July several years ago when Jamie, who is the sales person at Wateree, came to pick something up from work. Jamie was already aware that we were camping at the camp ground across the river that week on our vacation. He quickly found us sitting at the dock with our boat that refused to start. Even on his day off, Jamie stopped to help us. He put a new starter in our boat right then and there, just so that we could enjoy our family vacation. The Wateree Marina has consistently been a positive influence in our boating experience, and I can assure that they will provide the same for anyone who comes across the beauty of Lake Wateree. Sincerely, The Kendrick Family.
