Mr. Clayton is the premier instructor of Keno Karate in New England (if not in the United States)…read more I've known Mr. Clayton for a number of years. I've watched his teaching and training style with his students. He stresses defensive techniques and teaches his students to only use their karate only to defend themselves against aggressors. He celebrates the academic accomplishments of his elementary and high school students. His emphasis on strong family ties and values and tying them to the values of the karate school is one of the reasons I would highly recommend sending anyone who wants to learn a martial art to Mr. Clayton.

We highly recommend the American Karate Center in Ellington. Our son has been in the "Tigers" class…read morefor about seven months. In that relatively short time we have noticed significant improvements in his self-confidence, self-advocacy, self-control, and body awareness. We largely attribute this to the AKC instructors and their teaching methods. They hold the kids to a high standard, expect them to work together as a team, and expect excellence. They do this all while remaining positive in their instruction, even when a kid isn't meeting one of those expectations. Our son looks up to the instructors as role models, and they've proven to us that they deserve such respect. We are very grateful to AKC for the positive impact that their center has had on our son and family. Lastly, we recently attended a regional karate tournament and were impressed to see AKC take home many top trophies, proving the efficacy of their teaching methods.
