My kids have always been very active, but I struggled to find a sport where they would listen to…read morethe coach and learn discipline. We first tried jiu-jitsu, but the one-hour classes were too long for their attention span, and they quickly lost interest. I was looking for a place where they could feel centered and truly enjoy learning. When I called Yamashita Karate, I explained everything to Sensei Eric, and he was incredibly polite and understanding. He suggested that my kids come for their first class just to see if they liked it. The classes are only 30 minutes, twice a week ,the perfect amount of time for them. I can't express how thankful I am for Sensei Eric's kind and professional approach. He has earned my kids' respect, and now they listen, focus, and can't wait for the next class! He also talked to them about stranger danger, which was so helpful , they really understood how important it is to be aware of their surroundings. Now they're having classes with Sensei Emily, and they absolutely love her! She shows them so much love, patience, and encouragement every step of the way. I can honestly say that this is the best place you can choose for your kids. It teaches not only karate but also respect, focus, and confidence. P. and N. love you all and truly enjoy every class!

He is in soccer and dance and I thought adding this to his life would round him out. He absolutely loves it! It is his favorite thing to do! And I think part of it is Sensei Kelly, Sensei Tim, Sensei Eric, and Sensei Karen. You hope at least one of your kids teachers will be great but we lucked out with all 4! They love the kids! They are great with them! We just wish we found them sooner.

I highly recommend this place

While my child has been training at Artemis for a little over a month now, we were basically sold by the end of the first trial day. Artemis is well-run, clean, offers a multitude of class offerings and times and is well connected to our local homeschool charter programs and community. We love that students receive hands-on guidance and training of a boutique gym while being much more accessible. Coach Dexter is absolutely wonderful with the students, offering valuable and constructive feedback, encouragement and positive motivation. Students are taught the importance of principles such as self-discipline, respect, teamwork, tenacity and so much more. It is very evident that the students collectively exhibit amazing skills through practice and training but perhaps more importantly, they all seem to truly love and enjoy their time in class and cannot wait to return. We feel so blessed to have found Artemis as it is truly such a gem and valuable asset to our community.

It is a small gym, but that gives it more of a family vibe. As for my husband I wish I could get him to go all the time lol. When he was going daily he was in the best shape of his life. The classes range from beginner to advanced and are great for anyone looking to get in shape. The classes don't just incorporate Muay Thai but calisthenics and other fitness techniques. Kenny the owner and head trainer is very knowledgeable.
