Instructor Mark put his hands on my child's face in a very aggressive manner not once but twice. It was brought up to higher ups attention and nothing was done about this matter. I understand the discipline behind kung fu, but there are some boundaries that just should've be crossed and that was one of them. The integrity of this facility was clear as day as this happened when neither parent was around and we were told by other parents watching the class, who also get this was overstepping boundaries as far as discipline during practice. No accountability was taken by the instructors, no apologies were given for the way I was feeling as a parent. absolute disappointment

They acknowledge her in class and during tournaments. They make her feel like a big kid which motivates her to be the best that she can be.  Not only do my children feel great while they are at Karate; I feel great as a parent knowing that my children are learning karate skills and great life lessons.  Valentin Karate offers so many activities for its families and they give so much to the community.   My children not only benefit from learning Tang Soo Do, but they have the opportunity of being part of a second family that nurtures them by giving them self-confidence, discipline and respect for themselves and others. Master Valentin owns and operates Valentin Karate and works along with his spouse, children, siblings and nieces and nephews and so many great instructors.  He stresses that every student is part of his family.  His devotion to his students, his great sense of humor, his knowledge and his extensive experience make him a great instructor and a successful business owner. He regularly visits all three of his locations to offer encouragement to his students.  His brother, Master O, is the Master of the Berlin location.  He is an extraordinary instructor and a man of integrity.  He encourages dialog and communication with parents and students.   He makes students' learning experience fun while instilling the respect and honor that the art of Tang Soo Do deserves.  He continuously goes over and beyond to make my children feel proud and feel like super stars.  He is such a valuable asset to Valentin Karate.   We are so privileged to be a part of this wonderful karate family.

Last summer we signed our two kids up for the 6-week try out. They really liked it and after watching them I was intrigued to try it myself. The best part: if you pay membership for two family members, the rest of your family can go for no extra charge. I had nothing to loose and some great fun and fitness to win. We've been members for 6 months now and each already advanced two belt levels and I am looking forward to the next one. All staff are very good teachers, very friendly and fun. Lots of other families go there, many of them with mom, dad and several children. Highly recommended!!
