I always thought that the best way to measure a business is how they act when things are not going well and I feel good about how they reacted. I've currently made a commitment to try ice hockey and a soccer league for my son. Once those are done this spring, I plan to reach back out to them to see how my son would do with them.

One of the things I really appreciate about Kyoushi Don's approach is the clear focus on learning the art of karate as a family experience. We are encouraged to and supported on how to best practice different techniques at home. Ancient Arts Karate is not just some activity or sport kids do after school: it offers a comprehensive journey for young men and women to become their best selves and become role models for their families and communities.

My son is already learning a lot about martial arts, as well as the associated discipline/sportsmanship, and he absolutely loves going. Sensei Juan is fantastic, really excellent with the kids, and the class size is great at around 8 kids. Very convenient location in North Hills too. Also this dojo is much more reasonable with the costs compared to the two popular taekwondo dojos we tried before coming to Bushido, and you can attend any class you want as opposed to a set day or even number of classes per week. There are many more reviews of Bushido outside of y elp.

It's $149.00 a month, but worth the money. Everyone including the students (ages 10+ for the adult+teen classes) are very nice and treat you like your part of the family. They even give rewards for attendance and good grades or achievements in school! If you are going to sign up yourself or a child/friend or something for karate, this is the place to go!

Shisei Karate DoJo is a great place to train! My son has been training at Shisei Karate DoJo for…read more3+ years now and he loves every minute of it. Sensei Carlson is tough but fair and I do believe the students appreciate the discipline. In addition to karate, he teaches honor, confidence and respect.

If you are always looking for a pat on the back, this is not the place for you.

Master Beddow, Mrs. Beddow and their team are incredible. They care about your child both in the class and out of it. Each cycle of classes centers around a key character area. As an example, this cycle's topic is Respect. Master Beddow and the team talk with the class about what it means to demonstrate respect. As a parent I can talk about respect till I'm blue in the face, but having another adult, or black belt instructor, teach them about respect can truly make a difference. Listening while the class is occurring provides me with the ability to reinforce what the instructors have shared so we're all teaching and saying the same things. I wholeheartedly recommend Vision Martial Arts of Cary!
