I am writing this review as a parent who has signed my daughter up for their karate program. Adult…read moreclasses are available, but this review is specifically from my experience for the youth program. My daughter has been going to Guido's Martial Arts Academy for almost 6 months now. I can confidently say signing her up was one of the best decisions we made for her. She has grown immensely in her confidence. Her school life has improved. Her focus has improved. Guido's has helped shape and build her to become a strong, confident young lady. I'm excited to see her continue to grow. The program is very hands on and I love the set up of the structure. The program allows you to attend as many scheduled classes as you'd like in the week. We always strive to attend at least two classes a week, but try to take her more often is possible. All of the instructors are excellent and have very unique characteristics they bring to each session. Shihan is always around and available to offer any assistance needed for the children or the parents. We had a school situation with our daughter that popped up. I spoke with Shihan about the situation and asked if he could speak with my daughter and he did. It was the perfect conversation she needed to hear from an amazing role model to help guide her back to the right behavior. We are so thankful for Guido's and I'm literally counting down the days until my youngest turns 3 and we can sign her up as well. Thank you Guido's team!

With years of experience and competition he knows what he's doing. Everyone welcomed me with open arms (maybe they were just trying to choke me lol) but everyone was super friendly!

Great place to train!

I have been a long time student with the American Academy of Martial Arts and would recommend the…read moredojo to anyone; the friendly, supportive instructors will make attending class fun while still giving you a workout and the lessons learned are invaluable. As a student I have experienced a massive boost in confidence, coordination, focus and general attitude; and the time spent in class has helped me through very rough patches in my life. I feel that anyone, in any phase of life, will find value in the instruction that transcend simple physical benefits. I believe in this school so much that both of my children now attend classes with me, and I would encourage other parents to enroll their children as well. Martial arts can give a child balance and focus, much needed traits in school and in life.

I am so happy that I chose this academy for my daughter to be apart of, it is the best choice I could have made! From the start, my daughter was welcomed by everyone and thrown right into class like she had been attending the academy for years. I am amazed by how much she has learned, the one on one attention she receives and the the listening skills she has gained. I am so happy I did my research and found such an amazing place..... I recommend 10/10!!! Don't look any further.
