The review give by Mike is completely inaccurate. This Dojo (room or hall where judo or karate is…read morepracticed) is over the top helpful with instructors that go out of their way to help when a student is having difficulty. If a student gets hurt (which is rare but it is Karate, unarmed combat by definition) the class stops and the needs of the student is immediately addressed. The instructors are patient but do insist that each form or technique is learned correctly. As it should be, this is self defense. If not learned properly the student will be at risk if they ever need to use what they have been instructed. The student is never pushed to progress faster than they can but always receive positive reinforcement. An advantage I see in this school is that it has students that have belted in other forms of martial arts. This allows the new student with little or no background in Karate to get a broader perspective of Karate. The Dojo is true to it's style which is Shorin-Ryu so even while there are students that have studied other forms the instruction is pure Shorin-Ryu. It is a family like atmosphere not a military atmosphere like some schools I have visited. I have found this approach to actually help students progress faster with better skill because they are not directed with fear of making a mistake. In my opinion if you want to learn to protect yourself and are willing to practice along with showing up for class this is a school that will allow for very satisfying success

Full disclosure we are friends with the Freeman's…read more I am writing this review not for today but the past. My children both took Karate here. I love Sensei Kelly as he is knowledgeable and loves what he does. He has a very kind demeanor, amazing amounts of patience and is able to teach even the youngest Karate. He is able to maintain respect in a fun and friendly environment. It is wonderful to watch the three year old class. Kelly teaches Japanese Okinawan traditional karate. This dojo also participates in several Karate tournaments throughout the year. This is a family owned and family run business. I could rave about this dojo all day.

It's one of the only Olympic style taekwondo schools in northern Nevada and their curriculum reflects it. Practices focus on belt level forms, kicks, sparring, and self defense. The community here is incredibly welcoming and a great place for kids to learn discipline, stay active, and make friends! First Taekwondo actively participates in northern and southern California tournaments and consistently places gold. Master Tanner has practice Taekwondo for over 30 years. He's passionate about his work and really cares for the kids and adults. He's also the coach for Nevada Taekwondo which is UNR's team. He has a team of black belts that teach as well, together they keep the classes unique and interesting so classes stay fresh. It's a fun and competitive environment and I can't recommend it more!

For authenticity of American Kenpo's sake this is a great thing. The dojo/training center is conveniently located and there's plenty of parking in a secure and well lit complex. Mr. Linzies teaching style is really good and he seems to be as thorough with the adult class as he is the little ones (never really too early as long as you can pay attention for the instruction!) But he makes sure you understand what your doing -- then you practice it / drill it to build the muscle memory. He also doesn't gloss over questions and answers them in a way you'll understand. His promotion system is fair -- you won't get promoted until you really understand the belt level BUT he doesn't seem to be one to hold you back at a low belt forever either -- offering tips on the belt as a step towards the next level. He runs specials from time to time so watch for a flyer or ask him what specials he's running. He also runs a womens self defense class that I feel is a great contribution to the community from time to time (recommended) The good guys wear black...and that's my goal a black gi (ask Sensei Linzie if you don't know) Osu!
