Their work ethics and personalities are, in my opinion, some of the best in the industry. I had a wonderful experience at this location when I enrolled my son to learn karate, and I want to share my thoughts. Firstly, I was impressed by the school's approach to new students. They let my son train on the mat with one of the senseis before signing up and committing to payment. This was a great way to ensure that my son was comfortable with the program. Sensei Berj, in particular, was kind and explained the different entry packages and pricing options to us before we made a decision. I also appreciated how the school assigns kids to groups with equal belt levels. This made it easier for my son to adjust and get comfortable with the program. The instructors not only teach karate but also instill values such as respect, kindness, and responsibility in the students. They go above and beyond to create a positive environment for everyone. In conclusion, I can honestly say that this dojo is fantastic, and I could write a 5-page essay on how great it is. If you are looking for a great karate school, I highly recommend giving Jeff Speakman's Kempo 5.0 a chance. You won't be disappointed! A special thanks to Sensei Jose and Sensei Andy, you guys are changing the world for the positive.

My girls were very timid when they first started, but over the past nine months, they have grown tremendously in both confidence and discipline. What impresses me most is how well trained the staff is in child development and engaging with children. The team includes both trained martial arts professionals and student volunteers, and it is clear that they understand how to communicate with children, motivate them, and adapt their approach to each child's individual needs. The instructors maintain authority without being harsh or overly strict. They command respect while also showing respect to their students.

He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

This is a home for me. Chuck is the owner. 72 year old vietnam marine verteran who still throws 20-year olds around like rag dolls. one of the best parts about chucks dojo is that it has a fully loaded gym with old school weight machines and all the free weights you can possibly throw around, as well as heavy punching bags and a fully paded floor for ground work. I am an army veteran and Chuck was also a father figure while i was in foster care. currently i do executive protection for prominent figures and the teachings from Chuck have helped me become very successful and have saved mine and my clients lives. Please be warned: Chuck does not sugar coat what he says and comes from a different generation. you may get offended like others who have posted here. but ultimatley if you cant handle the attitude of an old man, you have no buisness learning how to defend yourself or others against those that intend you real harm.

There is a great new kids/family class on Saturdays that starts at 10:00 in the morning and goes until 11:30. Parents can train with their kids to learn karate basics, kata, and sparring. You will also learn how to apply these things in real life situations: how to stop bullying, how women can fight off an attacker, and how to defend against weapons. The whole family can practice together and get into great shape while learning how to stop yourselves from becoming a victim. read more

We have a strong number of BJJ practitioners that are now, or on their way to double black belts in both Judo and BJJ. We're also a dojo that focuses on learning, not purely competition. You're not asked to go HAM every night, and you can practice at your own pace to really learn the art. At the same time, you'll also pick up some catch wrestling and lots of BJJ with newaza so you'll really round out your game - the occasional wrist lock from our Aikido guys may come out now and then too. If you're a working parent, older person, or just want to learn something new and cool, check out Makoto Kai Judo. This is the perfect environment for you. "Old guy Judo" is encouraged - but if you want to compete, you'll also be given the advice and training to succeed in the game. Many of us bring our kids and they just hang out while we practice. We have many shift workers (law enforcement, medical professionals) who train with us. If you want to be able to say you did judo with a 6'8 350lbs player, or even a police chief, swing by!
