My daughter has been practicing at this Dojo for over 3 years and we love it! I can not say enough good things about Sensei Carlson, his staff, and facility. Sensei Carlson in addition to teaching Karate, instills respect, honor, confidence, and discipline into his classes and students. If you are looking for a Dojo where everyone gets a trophy and a warm fuzzy hug, then this place is not for you. If you want a Dojo that reinforces your belief that hard-work, honesty, commitment, and motivation will lead you to success, then you have found the best Dojo in North Carolina! Sensei Carlson is a leader with over 20 years of martial arts experience; as well he brings a wealth of knowledge, tradition, and respect to the practice of martial arts Karate.
