I love taking classes at CS Kim! I think it's a wonderful way to learn about self defense, but it…read moreis also a great way to meet new people. I have been taking classes as CS Kim for two years, and my brother has been a student since he was four years old and he is now fourteen. Both of us have valued our time spent at CS Kim and I would highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in studying martial arts or wants to try something new. It's the perfect activity for people of all ages. The instructor, Master Kelly, has also made my experience at CS Kim very worthwhile. He is very personable, helpful and is willing to accommodate people with all different needs and I have nothing but respect for him. There are also student assistants there who are black belts that help during the classes and are also willing to work one on one with anyone who is looking for extra instruction. Once again, I would highly recommend this place and I think that self defense is something that everyone needs to be educated on no matter what age you are.

I have had the great pleasure of seeing my kids and wife mature in the martial arts discipline as their confidence levels grow. At a Program Level: The program is very well organized with each rank requirement clearly defined. The school facilities and equipment represent a significant investment and is very well done. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient (important). They clearly understand the mechanics behind the technique and have a positive encouraging way of teaching. Tiny Tigers: The Tiny Tigers program is focused on ages up to approximately 6 and provides a foundation for entry into the Family Class. It is fun and engaging. Our younger children really enjoy karate night. Family Class: This is a non-intimidating atmosphere with a wide spectrum of participant capabilities. Ages range from 65ish to 8. In addition to learning various martial arts techniques, the class provides an incentive for improving your physical aptitude. I personally can attest that my cardio and strength have significantly improved.

The mats, bags, gloves, equipment and entire locker room are all in such stunningly good condition that they look like they've never been used. All the students are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. All the coaches have the rare combination of advanced expertise, deep passion for martial arts and a constructive approach. They build up every sequence from the simplest movements to complex combinations to match each student's level of experience. More than anyone, this is true for the owner Josh Ryer who sets the culture and tone with his complete mastery of the curriculum and keen eye for perfection in every detail balanced with an easy going laugh and friendly laid back attitude. If you want fitness and fun combined with real world defense training, I hope to see you in class soon!
