Really great place for top notch classes and fantastic after school care! They come get your kid after school in a bus, bring them to camp, help them complete their homework (!!!!), and give them all kinds of fun activities to do after (including at least 2 karate classes each week!). Everyone there is super caring and understanding. They know each kid personally and communicate really well. The place as a whole is super accommodating and organized. We highly recommend them to everyone. Last year, my kids did their summer camp and thought it was the most fun of any camp they had every been to. Every day they came home raving about whatever they did that day: arts and crafts, games, karate classes, water park, etc. We are excited for summer camp this year! read more

My daughter has been attending evening class, after school, and summer camp for about 2 years now. Her growth as a young girl and martial artist is unbelievable. She loves all the coaches and that the classes stay fun and challenging. We always recommend National Karate MMA to everyone! read more

My daughter loves going here. The staff is extremely friendly and always smiling. I feel safe with my daughter here, there is clearly a safe system in place and there is more than enough staff to manage the children. My daughter's homework is always completed. Not to mention it always smells amazing despite the bare feet on the mats and considering kids feet usually smell (lol). I am very happy with National Karate. She has so much fun going here. I am a loyal parent to National Karate. read more

Got a call my kid was sick, tried to coordinate it. Later received a text from Coach McDojo accusing me of multiple things that simply did not happen in the most condescending, unprofessional and juvenile manner I've ever experienced. Kid also wasn't sick, was coughing a decent bit but they said he was projectile vomiting. Kid also told me they were saying "very mean" things about me right in front of him. Nice. I don't even know how to wrap this up. Just, how dare you. How outrageously immature and unprofessional. Absolutely no chance I'll ever bring my kid back there, so you can save your text threats to ban me from the building. And again, texts? Seriously? read more

This place is great if you want to be accused of an outright lie and spoken to condescendingly over text message by a coach.

Our son has been attending class here for about 8 months now. Can't say enough good things about Coach Brian. Not only is he clearly a great martial artist, he has an excellent way with kids and really knows how to keep their attention. My son isn't Chuck Norris yet, but it's nice to see him enjoying himself while doing something that doesn't involve holding a controller. read more
