Aaron is a great instructor who incorporates not only stretching, forms, and basics within this form of martial arts; he also incorporates a killer ab workout in the end! I recommend this to anyone who wants a good workout, martial arts instruction, or a group of people who like to have fun!

The last place one would expect to find such immense knowledge and practical application of the art…read morebecause it is in the outskirts of the Twin Cities. Most people think that martial arts are for kids but this is an all ages environment. Adult classes are about learning the art, how is can be used effectively and learning from one another. It's not 50x this move, 50x that repetition and dry activity. No two classes are the same and you always come away feeling that you learned something and gained a skill. If you are over 40 and wanting to regain mobility, flexibility and self confidence with people who "get it", this is your place. If you have kids or teenagers or just young at heart and want to start learning without having to buy a ton of gear or sign a contract, this is your place.

My daughter has been going to Task Karate for about two years now. It's a bit of a drive from…read morewhere I live, but after looking at four different martial arts schools in the area, I'm glad I made the decision to go with Task. Mr. Thompson is a really great teacher and after watching him teach a class, it's easy to understand why this is the best school in the area, especially for children. I don't remember if it was the least expensive (they all seemed right about the same), but there is nothing second-rate about this school. The emphasis isn't just on fighting, which is probably better for kids in most cases, but more on focus, persistence, consistency and doing the best you can regardless of the skill level. I would definitely recommend Task to anyone, especially if you're looking to get a child into martial arts training for the first time.

This school is great for all ages and affordable! From karate, weapons, and sparring to Kickboxing…read moreand fitness, this is a well-rounded school. Mr. T is a great teacher who listens and makes learning fun for all skill levels. Also, you can stop in and review (watch) a class to see if you like it before you try it.

Mr. Cornell takes a holistic approach of teaching the kids to respect themselves and others, while learning tough and challenging moves.

He gives his students little lessons on homework and discipline. I do like it. The facility is not real big, just the right size. Sometimes it is little crowded with all the students and parents. My kid loves his karate class. He loves to get rewarded for doing his chores at home ( they earn stripes). I think the recognition is the best motivator. Great idea. I think the only thing that is steep is the cost. But at the end keeping my kid focused and interested can't be measured by money. He likes it a lot and he likes his teacher. He is earning his black belt tomorrow and he is excited. So if you are looking for a great karate school, you should put this place on top of your list. They are sincere and great for kids. By the way, if you sign up 2 kids, mom and dad is in for free.
