We've also seen a big boost in his confidence and resilience, and he's developing empathy, kindness, and stronger friendship skills. Doug (the Youth Program Director and Lead Instructor) is the most thoughtful and exceptional coach/leader we've ever experienced. He sees each child, knows how to encourage them in a way that sticks, and creates an environment where kids want to work hard and feel proud of their progress. We're so grateful we found Life Ki-do and would recommend it to any family looking for something that builds both character and confidence.

There aren't enough words to say how special of a place we think Life-Kido is! We have had the…read morehonor to get to know Sensei Deven over the past year and we feel so lucky! He has a magical way of connecting with kids - instilling positive core values and teaching mind/ body connection in a way that really resonates with them. My 4, now 5 year old son LOVES his classes and now has a dream of becoming a black belt just like him one day. I have noticed my son's self confidence, self awareness, respect for himself and others grow since starting his class...All while having fun and learning valuable physical skills that will benefit him throughout is life. Being my son's favorite activity, we just had his 5th birthday party there today (sparking the action to leave this review). It was awesome! Everyone had the best time ever!! Sensei Deven made them an epic obstacle course and taught them how to use nunchucks and ninja star throwing .. they had the BEST time. We 100% recommend having a Life-Kido ninja training birthday party! The boys and girls couldn't get enough!! And.. Austin's Pizza is in the same parking lot, with a huge patio and great enclosed playscape... it was the perfect day I cannot think of a single negative thing to say. Great experience every single time! If you're hesitating giving it a try...GO, you won't regret it!

After signing up my kids for a day camp which was 165$ - they unfortunately woke up not feeling well so since i had to call last minute and cancel i of course did not expect a refund but a makeup token to be able to rebook a camp day in the future!! They gave me a credit for only one of my kids which was 82$,despite repeated attempts to get credit back for the entire amount .. my concerns were largely ignored, leaving me feeling frustrated and completely disregarded as a customer.

I know I've said it multiple times, but I wanted to express it again - I only wish we had come to your dojo when we moved to the area years ago. You have something very special. From each of the very dedicated staff & student volunteers, to the way you emphasize technique, encourage the development of strength & power in fun, competitive (but not-harsh) ways & games, expect & follow-through with respect of all, focus on the positive, have high expectations, challenge everyone to work for the "clubs," & explain the "why" behind the directions (like, "break outward with your hand bc it will block your opponent's possible punch" etc). Thank you for making your program financially affordable. Thank you for explaining things in simple, understandable ways as well as demonstrating them yourselves. Thank you for giving students a voice. Thank you for allowing student volunteers to help - it gives the kids someone to look up to & envision themselves one day being able to do that. Thank you for repetition so that new skills/information are learned & old skills/information retained. Thank you for allowing my son, who has found a positive "passion," to come to your dojo so many days a week & multiple classes a day. We appreciate all of you & value your hard work, commitment, & time. Gratefully, Jenny D.

He loves his teachers, Mr Herman, Ms Sarah and of course Sensei. Their way with the children is so amazing, helping the overactive ones focus, bringing the shy ones out of their shell, and doing it all while having fun. I love how they respectfully interact with the kids and at the same time teach them manners, discipline and focus. If I could give them 100 stars I would. They earn it every time, we've never had a less than stellar experience here

We understand the importance of being a team player and have proven to be great team players but feel this is ridiculous.
