If you have a little one looking to start on their karate journey, the Little Dragons class is the place to be. I cannot speak more highly of the lead instructor, Karen Early. She is nothing short of amazing with the kids. With wit, humor and extreme patience she can take a room full of three-year-olds and have them listening and looking like pros. I was shocked to see the one star review, why it's not 5 and why more families haven't rated is beyond me. This place is awesome! Highly recommended.

I was promised a refund and it took over two months of phone calls and visits to the business to get it. Her medical bills were very expensive and she suffered for weeks in pain. The Owner / instructor was rude, and unprofessional. I'd recommend you go anywhere else but this place, especially if its a child your taking for instruction. If I could give it less than one star I absolutely would.

Also he insisted that due to late timing for my cancelation I will be charged any how, so I should have to take the class. I went and lasted for about 25 min. The instructor had no clue of my back problem although Bryan said the instructor will work based on the knowledge I had provided to him over the phone when he insisted me to attend the class.I ask her if she was aware of my back injury and she could not respond anything, she seem confused and did not any thing about my condition. I asked her if she knew how to work with the pain in my lower back and she said there was nothing to prevent the pain. So I left. Seems to me as it is was more important to take my money from clients than to act more responsible and ethical way. Business is not just about money but integrity.
