As someone who has studied Karate for over 20 years, along with various other martial arts, I can…read moresay its a real pleasure to find this school. It is a gem in the rough - classes taught by an instructor who truly loves to teach, and is actually a good teacher (rather than only just a great martial artist). This school teaches Koryu Uchinadi which is old style Okinawan Karate. This is a functional style first, and includes martial arts training that covers self defense from empty hand standing, ground work (grappling) to traditional Okinawan weapons (like the staff). The instructor is a prior successful National competitor who has been training longer than I have - and successfully ran a commercial school back east for over 6 years (one of the head instructors). He moved out to Colorado for graduate work, and stayed. The cost of the class is the same price I paid for classes when I started studying Isshinryu Karate in 1985 on a military base in Virginia. The cost simply covers the very low cost of the space, and gas for the instructor - who really just teaches because he loves to teach and train. I have trained in Virginia, at University of Maryland, in upstate NY, Japan (Yokohama) and Denver before finding this school in Boulder. By far, this instructor has been the best teacher I have studied under. Other instructors have possibly had more knowledge, but often did not actually teach the classes, and you were taught by other senior students. If you have any interest in Martial Arts and your in Boulder or Denver, you owe it to yourself to check out this school first. I don't think you will be disappointed. Classes are Monday, Wednesday (6-7pm) and Saturday (9-10am)

They have all competed at very high levels and know their techniques inside and out and are as open and generous with them as possible. Train with them for a while and you become family. Unpretentious, no egotism, no macho, just excellent martial art with a sterling lineage. If you want to learn real Karate go here, you will not regret the descision. They also teach great yoga there, and have an interesting variety of conditioning classes, great for the whole family.

When we enrolled staff went over everything with us including cost, schedules, expectations, payment and answered any questions I had before we enrolled. Any questions that I have had, any of the staff has always been able to answer my questions or find someone that can.

Highly recommend!

Alex was visibly not supportive of me listening to my crying child. I emailed the biz immediately to state this change. Alex then, after my email, charged us for month 1 and declined to accept our withdrawal. Very poor ethics and business IMO, especially when kids are involved. Don't fall for the high pressure sales tactic. I would NOT advocate for this lack of empathy of a local company.

It is a top notch, very well organized, and affordable school. In my years of learning martial arts, I studied Karate for 6 years and Kempo for 2 months.

After only a little more than a month working with my fellow students and Sifu Ely, I feel healthier, stronger, and younger -- mentally and physically. Sifu and all of the students are incredibly dedicated, patient, and helpful, yet the classes are appropriately challenging. If you don't leave exhausted -- and smiling -- I'd be surprised.

I love the class structure. Each class are broken into smaller groups based on their belt level and will have small sessions with each masters. These smaller groups gives the opportunities for your child to get seen. It's a very family oriented center. They hold different events throughout the year and even have parties to bring the TKD community closer. My boys loves the challenge to achieve their black belt. Don't expect to become a black belt over night, it take motivation and perseverance to get there.

I had my son enrolled in the black belt program, which required a big lump sum upfront ($4500)…read more After a few months into the program, my son started losing interest, and it was a struggle to make him go. Master Shawn convinced me that he would address such issues and help the students overcome it, however, nothing changed after I brought it up in meetings with Master Shawn. After attending for another few months, we decided to leave the program and had a meeting with Master Shawn, who promised that he would work out a partial refund. Half a year later, we're still waiting to hear from him, trying to reach him to receive any kind of refund to no avail. We haven't completed even half the program, we returned all the equipment, and had an impression that Master Shawn was the man of his word, who promised to partially refund the payment. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but when the business isn't following up on their promises, isn't responding to phone calls and isn't trying to help its customers, that business isn't deserving of a good review.

My son went to this school a couple years ago. He was too young, and could not commit to it fully…read more I was able to talk him through considering re-enrolling, and he finally decided to do so. All I had to do at that point was to give the school a call, and see if they are even open (due to COVID), and if they are, how they are operating and what not. Easy, right? Wrong. I tried the contact number that was listed on the internet first. No answer. I believe their website had the same number, so no luck there either. After about an hour of search, I was able to find a number, I guess on their facebook page. It went straight to voice mail (I think it was a google voice number), and the greeting gave another number and suggested that I "text" that number. I left a voice mail, and then sent text to the other number, as suggested. No answer. I kept calling and leaving voice mails, and texting both numbers for the following two days. No answer. I ended up enrolling him to another school. The End.
