From summer camp to virtual learning to martial arts classes, Sensei Marie and her crew will not disappoint. We are moving and this is THE ONE thing we will miss the most as a family.

We've…read morebeen coming here for over two years w/ my step-son (8 yrs old) and now my daughter (5 years old) has enrolled! She teaches them not only self defense, but also discipline, Japanese, and real helps build their leadership skills! It's a great school, and some day, my 9 month old daughter will be headed here!! I have also taken the cardio kick boxing class for adults, and it's a work out! You sweat, but you shred the pounds and get toned! Sensei Marie makes it fun! All in all, it's been a great family investment! Lastly, I did notice a negative post about cleanliness here, I have never seen it messy or dirty at the gym. I have no clue why anyway would say that, but it's absolutely false! The place is well kept! We fully support you Sensei Marie! Thanks for running such a great and inviting school!

I can't say enough good things about Del Martial Arts and Master Del himself. My son, who is on the…read morespectrum, has been attending classes there for almost 4 years. He not only enjoys it, which is a victory in itself, but has made noticeable physical and developmental gains over the years. The studio is an excellent environment for special needs children. My only wish is that I would have signed him when he was younger.

I trained in martial arts as a youth as the mental training is as important as the physical side. He is accredited with Moo Duk Hwan program and the art is Soo Bahk Do which comes from the original ancient martial arts from Korea. The program is really about training in the art as opposed to "dozens" of multi-colored belts and a constant barrage of tests to get more money from students. I've seen too many studios go down this path these days. A race to get black belt as "fast as you can".

Shihan Sakataka is an amazing and patient instructor. He's not the most talkative person, but he teaches very methodically and has a great understated sense of humor. In particular, he is amazing with kids (my little sister trained with him for many years and eventually got her black belt). Shihan really lives and breathes Karate. I've trained in several different martial art schools since then and I now think this is one of the best in terms of instructor, fellow members and general morale.

Honma Dojo is a great, traditional karate dojo, with full knockdown sparring. I have trained here…read moresince 2009, and I have always been impressed with Sensei Honma's teaching skills. He pushes his students (adult and child alike) just enough so that they grow as karatekas and people. He is great with children, and makes sure to teach them focus and discipline while also making classes fun. The dojo also has regular community events for children and adults, and all types of people are welcome at the dojo. I have made some of my closest friends at Honma Dojo. I recently attained my black belt, and I couldn't have accomplished that without the support of Sensei Honma and all my friends at the dojo.

I've even went to their dojo after work and I waited until their entire training session was over. There was no instructor or anything to talk to regarding to sign up or even learn more about the class. It was quite appalling with the lack of professionalism, I had hope that I would be able to talk with someone regarding classes, fees, and schedules but nothing. Their website info is also outdated too.
