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.

From the owner: We offer expert instruction for children, teens, and adults in Shorin Ryu Karate, a martial art…read morethat comes straight from the birthplace of karate - Okinawa. Shorin Ryu emphasizes in-close fighting methods and natural movements for self defense. Various upper body techniques, kicks, clinching, grappling, and throws are all apart of the practice. In addition to the more modern methods of self defense, we also practice traditional training methods using futari geiko (two-person drills), kihon (basics), kata (forms), and kumite (sparring). Our dojo is affiliated with Shorin Ryu Karate Do International (SRKDI) and our instructor has trained extensively under the founder, Sensei Jerry Figgiani (8th Dan). In addition to receiving his 1st and 2nd Dans under Figgiani Sensei, our instructor has also received training under Tamaki Takeshi Sensei and Tokashiki Masahiko Sensei during a trip to Okinawa.

Yes, they are not exactly cheap, but I have noticed their focus and determination on motivating these children. We missed a week due to an death in the family and the Master Leach called to make sure everything was okay, very sweet! I cant say I know much about karate but considering the awards Master Kim has up and how happy my daughter seems to be at the end of her classes, I am very happy with this place.

You will not learn legitimate self-defense here. The "self-defense" techniques are against opponents that offer little to no resistance. Sparring is light to no contact. I'd say most of the people there have never taken a real punch or kick and have never been in a real fight. ZERO emphasis on ground fighting. Promotions are not based on merit. As long as you pay the fee you'll pass the test. In 5+ years I NEVER heard of anyone failing. Stick around for 4 years and you'll be a "black belt", whether you are skilled or not. I've seen kids under 10 years old get a black belt. 10 YEARS OLD!!!! What a joke. When you get higher in rank they'll pull you from your training in class to teach little brats that don't know their forms and don't want to be there, and for free no less, while you are paying expensive $$$ to train there. It's not cheap. If you are looking for legitimate self-defense look elsewhere.

As soon as we walked in the door the staff was so welcoming and quick to offer a helping hand. They even helped entertain my 3-year-old while I finished setting things up.

They made sure my son was the center of attention and they truly made him feel so important. The facility is also extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing. Literally the perfect place to have a birthday party. Thank you KMK for the BEST party we could have ever imagined!
