UpLevel Ballantyne is an exceptional martial arts school that truly focuses on developing both…read moreskills and character. Instructor Mr Henry McGee does a fantastic job creating an environment where students not only learn martial arts techniques but also build discipline, confidence, and strong personal habits. Also the support instructors are very encouraging and patient. What stands out most is the emphasis on values like respect, focus, perseverance, and self-control. Mr McGee is patient, motivating, and clearly passionate about helping each student grow. He encourages kids to push themselves, set goals, and stay consistent while making the classes enjoyable and engaging. The institute has a very positive and supportive atmosphere where students feel encouraged and proud of their progress. It's clear that the goal is not just to train good martial artists, but to help shape responsible, confident young individuals. I highly recommend UpLevel Ballantyne and Instructor Mr McGee to any family looking for a martial arts program that builds both physical strength and lifelong character.

They even provide feedback when they get a chance during class changes. It's a community type of atmosphere if you allow yourself to engage and participate. My kids where not very motivated in the beginning but after awhile they really started digging it. Pricing might be an obstacle for lower income families. I made the financial sacrifice because my son needed something like this after being beat up in school. Coming here really boosted his self-esteem and confidence. Again, such awesome instructors and helpers. A great investment on your child/children for sure.

My son has continued and expanded his "whole body learning" both in direct TKD skills and cardiovascular health, but also character development. My daughter participated in private lessons and received timely support by way of the Granieri's encouraging message of self-worth, self-identity, and self-defense. When other activities (baseball!!) take us from our normal participation levels, there is never judgement, only welcoming arms when we settle back into routine. My children are 14 and 11. There are many students in that age cluster. The location is easily accessible off Route 51 near the Arboretum, and the class schedules allows for flexibility to your week. We are completely satisfied and look forward to continued growth with URMA!

Please please visit the BBB website before signing a contract here. I've known several people that…read morehave had issues with Super Kicks Karate over contract and cancellation policy. They typically PRESSURE you into signing a contract immediately. They want you to sign a basic contract at the very minimum to get you in the door. Then, once you have been pressured into signing a long term contract(6 month minimum), they badger your child every single class afterwards to get the parent to upgrade to the more expensive leadership contract(9 month minimum). Difference in price is about $50-$100. The classes are crowded and the child might learn how to do the same one punch for several 30 minute classes twice a week. You don't learn how to truly defend yourself. Essentially you are purchasing a black belt. Your child will learn how to say "yes sensii, no sensii", and will not be able to defend themselves from a bully. It's sad how they tell the children in the basic program($150/per month) that if they want to spar, or if they want to learn kicks, or if they want to be with the cool leadership program($200/per month) kids that they needed to ask mom and dad to upgrade. There isn't isn't a class where the basic program kids aren't badgered and reminded how the program that their parent chose...sucks! Before signing check out the BBB website. Most people like my friends opted to simply not resign, and others took legal action. Read the responses from the owner. He has his people be aggressive in their selling of contract tactics. I was with my friend when she was considering this school. It's very crowded, and you child will become bored quickly. Beware. The female saleswoman is the worse. Like a politician. The goal here isn't fighting. It's scamming you into signing a long term contract. If your kid learning how to say yes Ma'am, and yes sir is your goal, take them to this school. If your goal is self defense, your kid will get their butts kicked. The owner is flexible and can do the splits....that's about it. His instructors are out of shape and pudgy. Go see for yourself.

I am greatful for the work and time my Grand Master ( Dr. White ) and Sensei's have put into making me not only a good Martial Artist ,but a better person all the way around. You won't be able to walk onto any dojo floor and train with your grand master. It's been tough. Limits have pushed, but I am so greatful for every moment of it. This was suppose to be a challenge and it has been. I plan on always pushing and striving to reach that next level . With people like Shihan White behind me I know that will always be a possibility. I recommend Kenaki to anyone looking to try Martial Arts. The staff is wonderful and they work with children ages 3 and up. My own children take karate lessons at Kenaki, and I am very impressed with their growing self control and confidence they have obtained so far. Everyone get to try a class for free! Check them out!
