Most classes are devoted to practical situations such as being attacked with a knife and traditional martial arts that combine Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and joint contortion. Mr. Moore (Instructor) charges extremely fair pricing and offers classes that fit into most schedules. Chayon Ryu means "the natural way" and provides an excellent form of exercise for adults of all ages. I recommend that all adults should have some understanding of self defense and there is no better teacher than Mr. Moore. Highly recommend taking classes here!

He is respectful and serious, and also has fun with all his classes and students. Mr. Antak is old school in how he handles admin stuff and that's fine.

I've seen him between class times doing his best to talk to students' parents and answer questions, order gear for the kids, and call people back when messages come in. My husband and son have been students at Mr. Antak's academy for a full year now. I'd recommend this academy to anyone who wants to practice karate.

I would recommend you take your kids somewhere else. You can take your kids there just to get them out of the routine at home, but if you want them to learn martial arts this is not the place.
