Family Karate Academy USA

I have driven past this dojo for several years and always thought about signing my daughters up for classes. Ten months ago I finally signed up for an introductory class. They offer parents to sign up for a minimal monthly fee so I joined as well. I never anticipated that I would enjoy these classes as much as I do! I wanted my daughters to build confidence, learn self defense and for us to learn something new together. We all enjoy attending and are building new skills with every class. Every instructor is passionate about teaching and make the classes enjoyable. I can't speak highly enough about the owner, the instructors and student leaders. This is a wonderful community to be a part of and I am so glad we joined. I just wish we would have started years ago!

I have been a part of the Family Karate Academy for 2 years now. It has been an amazing time meeting new people and learning new skills. I have had the greatest pleasure training under some of the BEST instructors (Kyoshi Piper, Kyoshi Tuggle, amd Renshi Galan). From day one I have always felt welcomed and included. As an adult it has been great for my mental and physical health to start training in the martial arts. There is nowhere else I would want to train. Every opportunity I get to tell people about my karate journey I take it, and every time I always recommend Family Karate Academy whether it's kids or adults! Thanks to everyone who makes it an awesome time!

We have been going to Karate for about 7 months now, at first it was self defense only for my two teen girls. They enjoy so much we have continued to go and are thrilled for our younger son to go! We highly recommend any and all ages to go! We enjoy watching and they enjoy attending.

My daughter has been attending classes here for almost two months now. She absolutely loves it! The Sensai’s are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and skilled. They hold the students to a certain standard which definitely furthers their sense of pride and responsibility. The dojo is clean and the perfect size for classes, not too big, not too small. There is a front area to sit if you have other children not attending classes with TVs so you can still view what’s going on in class. They offer flexible schedules, allowing us to choose how many times she attends classes and on what days. Very affordable too! I looked at several different dojos and am very happy I picked this one! By far the best, in my opinion.

This was our 3 year old’s first experience with organized sports. He loves it! The classes are disciplined but fun. The kids, regardless of age, are held to high expectations and, as a result, my son takes karate very seriously. The opportunities to earn stripes and prize tickets incentives him and after each class he is proud of the skills he has accomplished. We appreciate the flexible class offerings as well as the way that the class leaders interact with the kids: it is so apparent how much they love working with the young ones and making karate a great all around experience. Only good things to say! Thank you Ken Piper & co (especially Israel, a big favorite!).

When our son asked about karate a year and a half ago, we visited about half a dozen dojos in the area. We chose Family Karate because of the flexible scheduling that allows us to choose which days we attend each week, including a Saturday morning option. Since we have three active kids, those schedule options have been critical for our family and allowed us to keep up our son's interest even on busy weeks. Now that we've been at the dojo for almost two years, however, there's so much more we appreciate! Our son (8 years old) is in the youth program and is learning self defense, sparring, katas, and weapons. This is not just a show up and progress program, but the senseis provide individual attention to make sure everyone in the class is mastering each requirement and moving forward. Classes foster an environment of respect, but the senseis are also kind and make sure the students are having fun. Classes are mixed age, but students are matched with similar size and skill level opponents for sprawling. Our son is learning respect, discipline, as well as the basics of karate. He has even attended one tournament where he won 2nd and 3rd place for his kata mastery in his age group against students from different dojos in the region. We couldn't be happier!

We love it here Do it! Invest in yourself and it does amazing things for kids My daughter lost her mother and therapy works okay but this this is like therapy on steroids she is so much happier now and it’s more confident and energetic Do it Don’t hesitate They are amazing instructors
