The best thing I did for my son was enrolled him in Shotokan Karate. I was having a problem with…read morehim in their school last year, more on his behavior, complaints from his teachers here and there. I said to myself I will do my best to change this and will not give up on him, I even went to a neurologist, and was even enrolled in the Behavioral Detectives offered in the school. So my friends from work advised me to enroll him in karate to develop discipline, respect, focus and at the same time gain new friends as he is an only child, and so I did. Sensei Nerik is so good and his patience is above and beyond. A year passed, last week we did a parent teacher conference and the teacher said that Andrew is very respectful and follows everything they ask him to do, I was so happy hearing these words for a change. I can say that karate really helped him a lot, thank you so much Shotokan Karate!**** Mr and Mrs Paulino.

My daughter has been attending this dojo for a while now, and I honestly couldn't be happier with…read morethe experience. From day one, the instructors have been incredibly patient, professional, and genuinely invested in each student's growth--not just in karate, but in confidence and discipline as well. What really stands out is how they balance structure with encouragement. They push the kids to do their best while still making classes fun and engaging. My daughter looks forward to every session, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in her focus, respect, and overall confidence both inside and outside I highly recommend this dojo to any parent looking for a positive, structured activity that teaches real life skills along with martial arts. It's been a great investment in my daughter's development.

We supported each other during the drills and shared a lot of laughs along the way, with a touch of ol' skool music.

It was also a good reminder of the importance of staying active and setting a positive example for our children. Overall, it was a fun night that brought everyone closer together.

The instructors are attentive and they have many seminars and special days that make him enjoy his overall experience even more .

I will say this place is on the more expensive side but it's a good investment in your child's confidence and learning to defend themselves .

Initially, I wrote an average/neutral review but after running into dozens of other local parents…read morewho have had negative experiences with Spirit and having a lackluster experience with them myself, I am going to leave a more transparent review including PRICING below. I am in sales AND a small business owner, so I generally give a lot of understanding to other small business owners but they have a bad rep locally and I'm just starting to see it's for a reason now. They have a lot of 5 star reviews because they used to push and pressure parents (during their kids' lessons) to leave a 5 star review to build up their ranking, but I highly encourage you to look into the 1-3 star reviews and more recent reviews. They require you to sign a year long contract that is $1,900 (perhaps more now) or you can pay in one lump sum and save a few hundred (and pay just under $1600). The free classes/passes and "specials" are literally to get you in and get you into a sales room and pressure you into the contract. Can't knock them as they're a business but just know, they run on high pressure sales tactics. I've been to other studios where the owners just give prices and allow you organically decide what package you want to sign up for and that's what myself and most people prefer. They are also getting kids in the door so they can push the birthday party packages as that's where the real money is made for them. I've attended parties there for my kids' friends and had a parent friend tell me they overcharged them, didn't deliver on multiple (expensive) upgrades as promised and were smug about offering any resolution. I hate that this seems to be a pattern for them. I believe the uniform was $140, boards at $3 each for days they do board breaking and belt tests are $70. Seems belt tests are given every 3-4 weeks so long as the child is on track. I've recently bumped into other parents at my kids' school who've said they got locked into 3 year contracts where they paid upfront or even $6,000-$10,000 contracts (with multiple kids) and I didn't even know that was legal to do. The craziest thing is I've even bumped into parents who had issues with them 5+ years ago.. same thing. The reason businesses like these are still around is because not enough parents speak up. Unfortunately, we were only able to use 35 of our 95 lessons and they were unwilling to work with us. I've attempted to give many chances for them to provide a resolution as a company but at this point I have to be honest, they are completely inflexible and pretty smug about it. I'm a small business owner. We CAN always work with our customers. They are 100% able to work with parents without losing any overhead/time, they just refuse to. OUTRIGHT. They'll keep the money & give you a nice "sir" or "ma'am" and basically "no can do" and expect you to spend thousands more. Now I'm seeing why so many reviews say they're money hungry. If you've had a poor experience, I encourage you to post about it, too, because these other parents are unknowingly being taken advantage of because they see an inflated business rating that has been masked by the other on-the-spot reviews.
