Our girls have loved it and have grown so much under the tutelage of Sensei , Senpai, and the other instructors. It has truly been a blessing. A few months ago we enrolled the rest of the family. My youngest son, my wife and I. It is a great way to start getting back into shape and me and my wife count it as a date night. It is so wonderful being able to work out with my wife and be reminded of important life skills. I can not recommend this place enough.

Having worked through the ranks myself over the last 6 years I can attest that the staff at the College of Martial Arts go well above and beyond in their teaching of Karate. Not just the physical side of it. But also, the mental side of it. Making sure that every child and adult student becomes the best version of themselves. Sensei and Sempai Burtney have created an atmosphere that is warm, friendly and welcoming to all that walk through the Dojo doors. I am thrilled to be a part of this Karate family.

We arrive 15 minutes early and the doors were locked. We called 3 times while we waited. Waited till 7:15 (15 minutes after the session was suppose to start) until we decided to leave and left me to leave this rating. My son was very excited to try this out and was left crushed. If something came up you could have called, texted, or emailed as you did to confirm this session but we received nothing. Left to find somewhere else to take our kid, we were going to try here because of the good things we heard. This was very unprofessional to say the least! If you are going to try here you might want to call and confirm with a human being. Don't trust their confirmation system, texts or emails.

What I loved the most about their program is that it's not just about learning karate moves - it's about being a better person and teaching them life lessons. I sincerely was saddened when my son told me he wanted to quit so he could do soccer over the summer, and there's a big piece of me hoping come fall he wants to get back in with Traditional Karate Dojo!

There is no contact with anyone. Staff are wearing masks while training. There are a couple students and staff that cannot wear due to asthma or other medical. Parents that do stay for the smaller classes of no more than 10 or 12 all wear masks. Master Tong and all of his assistants are fully following safety issues with sanitizing equipment and asking students to sanitize. I feel totally comfortable bringing my grandson here. It's an honor to be taught by such caring and professional staff.

She made it through their mixed-technique levels steadily, and began krav maga when that part started up... must have been 7 years. It was tremendously helpful for her physical and mental health, and her continuing personal success is attributable in large part to the role this training and group played in her late youth and early adulthood. We have nothing but the highest regard, both personal and professional, for Masters Pontillo and Petrocy and it is clear other students and families feel the same.

My oldest son has been coming since he was 6 and he is about to turn 14. What they teach them in class is phenomenal but it is also that they tell them to apply the same dedication and discipline to their every day lives outside the dojo. When I hear my boys repeat something that either Mr Donahue or Mr Kratz has said to another person I know they are in the right place.
