My daughter has been going to Task Karate for about two years now. It's a bit of a drive from where I live, but after looking at four different martial arts schools in the area, I'm glad I made the decision to go with Task. Mr. Thompson is a really great teacher and after watching him teach a class, it's easy to understand why this is the best school in the area, especially for children. I don't remember if it was the least expensive (they all seemed right about the same), but there is nothing second-rate about this school. The emphasis isn't just on fighting, which is probably better for kids in most cases, but more on focus, persistence, consistency and doing the best you can regardless of the skill level. I would definitely recommend Task to anyone, especially if you're looking to get a child into martial arts training for the first time. read more

This school is great for all ages and affordable! From karate, weapons, and sparring to Kickboxing and fitness, this is a well-rounded school. Mr. T is a great teacher who listens and makes learning fun for all skill levels. Also, you can stop in and review (watch) a class to see if you like it before you try it. read more

I have been an adult student at TASK Karate for the past 6 years. Mr. Thomson's vast knowledge of various martial arts affords him the ability to continuously take his students to their next level of challenge. In addition to karate, Mr. Thomson offers ground work via a matt class, traditional Japanese weapons, and the Filipino martial art of eskrima. Further, Mr. Thomson has excellent rapport with both his adult students and children and teen students. I encourage you to check out TASK karate and learn how to defend yourself, improve your overall fitness and flexibility, learn about various cultures through your study of martial arts, and join a wonderful community of people! read more
