My son has felt welcomed, accepted, challenged and nurtured every step of the way, from the very first class four and a half years ago when he was so nervous he almost threw up! Now he is a purple belt and sempai and the dojo is a home away from home. Sensei Chris and his staff have a magical mixture of humor, patience, experience and talent which just naturally inspires kids. My son plans to study karate for the rest of his life, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
