She withheld my kids from me and yelled at me for trying to take them home. (When I tried to explain they're not enrolled in her class, she cut me off, didn't listen, yelled at me, and created a scene which was akin to a kid's tantrum.) Oh then, even though I hadn't said a word, she accused me of interrupting her class and making a scene. Everyone there says, "sorry, that's how Alicia is but try another class..." In my opinion, she's nuts! That said, everyone else there seems pretty cool. Our family, however, will not be taught by the unstable karate lady.

Its on the pricey side but to witness our hyper boys focused and aiming to achieve in all other areas at home and school is so worth the penny!

I've had parties for both my children at Ryouko and the staff here go above and beyond to keep the kids engaged and make the birthday boy or girl feel very special. They start the kids off with a basic Martial Arts class and they move into some really fun activities, which you can choose and tailor to your age group and preferences. Some of these games have included, Parkour tag, tug of war, dodgeball, etc. The studio is very clean and safe. Parents and adults can sit and relax while the kids get all their energy out with these structured activities. The staff help with everything to make for a very smooth party. HIGHLIGHTS: 1. My favourite part of the celebration is when we sing Happy Birthday and staff help the birthday boy, my son, cut his cake with a Samurai sword. 2. The birthday child gets to break a wooden board with a single punch in front of all their friends. Quite the confidence builder. 3. Birthday child gets a special gift from the studio. Ie. A cool t-shirt or hat. 4. The price is super reasonable. The best value I have seen for a party like this. 5. Plenty of plaza parking and right off the highway. Great place and amazing staff!

It is nice to hear that my kids are respectful to others and are great role models. I recommend Ryouko to everyone.
