He looks forward to every class and talks about what he learns at home. The instructors are amazing -- they are patient, motivating, and truly care about each child's growth.

We are so thankful to be part of this wonderful community and highly recommend Master Pattillo Martial Arts to any family looking for a positive and encouraging environment for their child.

To management: I didn't think I would need to explain this but leaving a crap taste in a potential customer's mouth before they even have a chance to try your product/service is just bad for business. Especially when you're dealing with children. We will be choosing a different Dojo that's more parent friendly, there's 4 others in the area. Pathetic

He tried…read moreanother karate school and they wouldn't allow him to continue because he wouldn't follow directions but this karate school is interactive and give a little individual help to new kids and old alike to help them focus and get back on track. He's now eager to follow the instructors commands and attend when in the beginning he was scared to get out there because he was kicked out of the other class which said it was his age group but there were way older kids who appeared to have gone before. Dojo classes truly are kids his own age and a mostly kids that have only began within a few months or two but all still young and on same developmental level. Very impressed with their ethics and interactions with the children.

My wife is halfway through her rank progression in Krav Maga, which takes a lot longer. Full disclosure: This school is NOT a black belt factory!!! Both of my daughters and I myself came up short along the way at one test or another. They do NOT compromise their standards, nor should they. One of the most important lessons my kids have learned is how to push through tough times. I totally disagree with the characterization that they ignore individuals... instructors are always available to help students with a skill at the end of class. They have testing camps. If somebody is having serious issues with a technique, they have individual lessons... they don't hold the class hostage for one student, and I am glad for that. Within the wider ATA world, Borders is well known for their commitment to excellence and producing the best real-life sparring skills.

The environment is open and welcoming. The discipline is delivered with patience along with a splash of humor that all of the kids respond too nicely. It is fair to say that when you can watch the growth of the entire class over time these guys are doing something right! See you at class The Calvert Family

I had never done anything of this sort before and was a bit nervous when starting out. However, the more I went the more comfortable and confident I felt. They have a nice family setting and are very friendly. They do the steps along with you and are there for when you get hung up on a movement. Very traditional as well. Not only do they teach you traditional karate, but they also teach the culture, the meaning behind the techniques, and how you can apply it to real-life self defense. Compassionate and full of love for their students, they are willing to listen, help, and work around any concerns or problems you may have. I fully recommend checking the dojo out.

The school has multiple instructors every class and they all love what they do. You can tell that for Mr. Monroe and his team it is more than job and most of them have been doing it for many, many years because they love it. This shows in the quality of the instruction, always positive attitude, and lots of individual attention to each student. It honestly feels more like a big family than just a school. Students learn discipline and respect and the important lesson that we are all capable of more than we may think. Students and instructors are of all ages, which honestly makes it even more special because you get the whole range of experience on the team.
