The instructor is amazing and truly cares about the kids and their success. Karate has taught him so much more than self-defense. It has given him discipline, confidence, respect, leadership skills, and a strong work ethic. We've seen such positive growth in him since he started. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get their child started in karate. The support, encouragement, and life lessons they provide are truly priceless.

Our girls have loved it and have grown so much under the tutelage of Sensei , Senpai, and the other instructors. It has truly been a blessing. A few months ago we enrolled the rest of the family. My youngest son, my wife and I. It is a great way to start getting back into shape and me and my wife count it as a date night. It is so wonderful being able to work out with my wife and be reminded of important life skills. I can not recommend this place enough.

A few years ago, I was interested in getting my child some self defense classes due to bullying in…read morethe school system. Not really thinking this was a long term commitment I could not be happier. I stumbled upon this studio years ago through Google. I took a chance and called to make an appointment with an instructor to see what was offered and what my options were. As there are several options for you and/or your child I thought best to start personal one on one classes and I could not be happier with my choice. Not only has my child stuck with the lessons (personal) for years she has a great bond with her instructor; Aaron. He has been absolutely amazing with her! Not only does she have a higher self esteem she now stands up for herself and no longer takes "garbage" from class mates! The building it's - self is not your typical karate studio, it's very "rugged". Remember you are not there to enter a fashion show! It's exactly what I had wanted for her! Focus on what your lesson is vs. what belt or uniform you will be wearing. As you do have the option though, comfy clothes are best. As for the price you will not be able to beat the offers here. Not only is my daughter attending classes my husband also started attending ( you probably spend more in fast food a week than you will here ).. On a side note, let me say that my husband works out at a regular gym 5-6 days a week few hours a day and never comes homes as hyped up and sweaty as he does going to Tracy's for a half hour once a week. He will be the first to say WARNING: Aaron will kick your butt!! No mercy for the weak (haha). You learn a lot in a short period of time and the instructor will not continue on until he feels you are secure with what was taught and you are doing the moves correctly with no hesitation. We hope to continue lessons for years to come; Thank you Tracy's Kenpo Studio for all your hard work in changing my child for the better!! I could not have done it without you; Aaron especially.

Mark & Aaron do a wonderful job leading & teaching & the other instructors are great as well. Our kids (ages 5. 7, & 9) go to the group classes & have learned so much. It has made them more confident and they get a workout every time. My husband and I also take lessons & have learned so much. It never ceases to amaze me how knowledgable the staff is & how willing they are to teach anyone who asks. They train MMA fighters, cops, & regular people off the street like you and me. The icing on the cake is they have really great rates and plans to fit different budgets. I highly recommend this place.

It's amazing the way Master Kaz is able to control an entire class, while teaching different groups at their level. Master Kaz is stern, but is stern with kindness, and as a result, my child has confidence and demonstrates self-control. Family Karate Academy is a serious training academy, with Tae Kwon Do instruction, and you can expect your child to learn quickly and grow in technique, confidence and discipline. Master Kaz trains the students to be healthy, focused, and respectful. His instruction includes warm-up. Master Kaz also teaches stranger-danger, bully prevention, and has family events. There is plenty of room at the academy, including changing rooms and observation space. Lots of parking as well, and located conveniently at the SW corner of 15 Mile & Mound, in Sterling Heights. Master Kaz is a Master, google him! This is a great place for your child to learn karate. Training is recommends 2/week, and payment is easy, whether you choose to pay monthly or longer. CC accepted. Master Kaz will treat you and your child like family!

In all honesty, when we first signed up neither the kids, nor I, knew what to expect. It has turned out to be one of the most amazing experiences of their childhood and my life! Master Norton's skill as a martial artist and his very cool way with the kids is more than we could have ever expected. I'm not a social media guy, or one to write reviews, but this review I write with pleasure as a way to thank him for what he does for my kids, for me, and for all his students. Thank you Master Norton! And a note of thanks to the other instructors as well. Job very well done! Robert Hibbert
