Not only are they teaching our kids karate, but teaching them to become better individuals. We've seen improvements at home and at school since attending classes. The studio was more prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic than most businesses it seems. The remote learning kept our family engaged and very much wanting to continue training each week. The more recent outdoor/indoor smaller classes work well too. The staff is great and really cares about their students, the community and people in general. Very highly recommend this studio!

I've taken him to a variety of other classes in the area (Kindermusik, story hours at the library, that sort of thing) and the staff here is top notch.

I also appreciate that they've very flexible on rescheduling classes or issuing a credit if you have a sick kid or vacation keeping you away from class.

However, Renshi Andrew at Alpha is a rare and special talent as an educator. He has boundless focus, patience and perseverance with all of the students. He is a big bear of a guy who captivates the kids, draws them out of their shells and keeps them in motion. At the same time, he never lets up on the message of control, discipline and respect. He has made all the difference for our son. Andrew and Michelle have built a warm community around the studio, which gives all of the students and families a familiar place to come, gather, watch and learn. If I was more selfish, I'd tell you to stay away so we could keep them to ourselves, but somehow I know there is enough to go around.

Also, the schedule is clear from the beginning, so I don't know how you can complain about that. For me the schedule works out pretty good, and being able to choose which nights you go each week gives me just enough flexibility.

As for the cost... again.. it's all set out from the beginning, so I don't know how you can complain about that afterwards....

My child attended there for few years, but we are unhappy with their service. Parent needs to…read morethink twice before joining. The reasons are following: (1) Class schedule is inconvenience for working parent (2) The tuition fee is way higher than others. (3) Need parent to pay their time off for holidays - Yes - Parent mandatory pay it - at least 3 weeks / a year including 4th of July (1 week), thanksgivings (3 days?), X'Mas to New Year (about 2 weeks), Memorial Days (2-3 days) & more..... (4) Close Sat class for testing at all times. (5) Uniform is expensive. Kid easily outgrow - new pant charges $30+ up (exaggerating mark up price) We went there for few years but I don't see the kids progress. My feeling is going to play group instead of learning martial art. I am so regret that I join there for few years and waste our money. On the other hand, I am glad that I find a better one and left here. My kids love martial art, we find the other place and the new one is excellent. First, the monthly fee is including the uniform (free charge), if the kids outgrow, the pant is only $10/each at new place - very reasonable - the mark up cost is not exaggerating. Second, The new one will not close for a weeks to celebrate any holiday. They only close on July 4 (1 day), Thanksgiving day (1 day), X'Mas Day (1) & New year only. Otherwise, they always open. The master deserves that we pay the holiday or you have choice to making up the class other time - importantly we will not feel like forcing to pay for their 3-4 weeks time offs each year. Ironically, my company pays me 2 weeks vacation only, but they have 3-4 weeks ??? Why parent need to pay it ??? feel like cheating the parent ??? A week is making sense, 3-4 weeks are non-sense. Third - The new one will not close the door for testing, instead the class keeps running in AM, the testing will start in the afternoon. Forth - The new master is outstanding and caring for each kid. Lastly, this is the most important - the new place tuition is lower and the quality is speechless. We save $50/ per month but still attending 2-3 times classes each week. Schedule (Timing) is excellent. I am glad that looking for another place. They have plenty rooms to improve because there are many excellent martial arts in NH. They will lose many customers if they are not improving the issues.
