Valentin Karate is an OUTSTANDING Martial Arts, Tang Soo Do, School. We are longtime customers who have had the joy and privilege to participate in such a dynamic family program for 7 or 8 years now. Valentin Karate provides a well organized and structured yet FUN atmosphere for children (and adult students) to learn concentration, goal setting, physical fitness, self-defense, and strong positive character. My children are tremendously blessed by the outstanding role models and mentors they have found in their instructors as well as the wonderful friendships they've developed with the other students. These days my oldest two boys who are now black belts are even being molded into leaders themselves. I expect the same will happen for our two daughters as they move up in the program as well. We have made it a family activity. After many years of sitting on the sidelines watching, my husband and I decided to get out there and give the classes a try ourselves. The experience has been nothing but positive. The atmosphere is so encouraging and family like that even my clumsy self can get up the courage to give it all a try. Now I'm addicted. I really can't recommend Valentin enough. read more

I have been a member of Valentin Karate for over 6 years. I transferred to this school as a black belt and was welcomed with open arms. Now I help with teaching and work very hard to instill the proper respect, discipline, integrity, confidence, honesty, perseverance and the importance of family as some of Valentin Karate's principals. These principals are taught through demonstration, talks, games and by the way each instructor treats his/her students and their parents. We welcome every student into our dojang, our family. It is a safe place where there are no worries about competition, sitting on the bench or bullying. Yes, the student must put in some hard work to succeed, but each can work at their own pace. Everyone can become a black belt - a black belt is a white belt that never quit!! Mr. H is just one of the awesome instructors at VK- Plantsville/Southington. He works a full time job outside of the dojang and then works amost every night teaching tang soo do. His dedication is unsurpassed. read more

Started our two kids in first grade and kinder; now both are black belts in 9th and 7th; always knew this would be beneficial for them but realized they can help benefit others by participating in volunteer projects organized by the school and mentoring younger kids. Well-structured curriculum and well-organized projects and activities. The lessons in respect, courtesy, camaraderie and mental toughness, among others, students will carry throughout their lives. Truly one of the best investments in kids' futures parents can make! - Johann J read more

We began bringing my son to Valentin in September of 2015 and it was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. He is blossoming into a wonderful and stand up boy thanks to Valentin Karate. The school values personal growth all around. They hold children accountable, they communicate expectations, they encourage friendships and support, they commend triumphs, they care deeply for the community, and they do it all while managing to throw in some fun. We are so happy to be a part of this school and cannot sing their praises enough! read more
