Very high quality martial arts studio, I've been going here for the past 4 years. This place…read moreteaches perfection of the basics rather than in-depth sophisticated techniques that can never be applied to any fighting situation. Jerry Dula masterfully teaches traditional kata and techniques which he explains that one wouldn't use in real situations; and also teaches basic self-defense, and how to be able to defend yourself in many different situations. After having visited many other martial arts studios, I believe this deserves all five stars that it is being awarded

I…read morehave two sons training here, ages 8 and 10, my dad who is in his 70s has been training here, and last January, I even started too!! This is not something I ever would have seen myself doing, but Alejandro is so motivating, warm, and amazing at what he does, and the environment feels like such a welcoming family that I really wanted to be a part of it. My love for this place has only grown since. All the instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and supportive, and the training is perfect for both beginners and experienced martial artists. And this dojo does extremely well in competitions, producing the top fighters in the region. Lots of medals come back to the dojo after every travel event! (But also know that competing isn't required to be a part of things!) Best of all, the confidence my kids have gained from being a part of this dojo has carried over to school and other sports and activities. They are just flourishing and we attribute so much of it to Alejandro and the wonderful environment and team here. If you're an adult just looking to gain fitness, that's my story. I was always very active and have done everything from cross fit to a few ultramarathons, but the training here has developed my physical strength, balance, discipline, and overall fitness. And I've enjoyed making new friends. The facility is top-notch, with ample space for training and all the necessary equipment for whatever you are looking for. If you're looking for a fantastic place to learn karate and grow as a martial artist, this dojo is the place to be! Being a part of this family has been one of the most special things we have ever done.
