The Dojo is an awesome place for your family. Young or old will enjoy Sensi Pete's instruction and the family atmosphere he instills in his Dojo team. Start your kids as little Dragons and help them gain confidence, structure, and focus.

We are about 5 weeks into our karate experience here at the dojo and it has been such a positive experience. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many females attend. The entire staff is very sweet and helpful. Our sensei is excellent with balancing being a kind and understanding teacher, while also teaching the students respect and diligence. Extremely happy we found this place!

Great family oriented dojo. They take the time to introduce themselves to students and families and do a great job at keeping the younger children engaged. They are a busy school and have wait lists for some of their classes but it is worth the wait. Prices for classes are comparable to most martial arts schools. They are very clean and follow state and county guidelines for COVID-19.
