Great with kids! Took my son here two years. Only reason we stopped was moving out of town.

My son has had a great experience here! The staff is very friendly and genuinely care about the kids they teach. I cannot thank them enough for helping my son gain confidence in himself in an athletic environment. He’s tried several different sports (soccer, baseball, lacrosse, etc) and he seems to have found something he finally enjoys. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to get their kids off the couch and moving!

Both my child and I train here. Sensei Josh has a fun attitude and is great with the kids. A good mix of fun and discipline, and the kids like him.
In my experience, the level of training is catered to age, ability, and level of interest of each individual (both adults and children).
I agree with what the first reviewer Jennylou said about the pricing. Talk to Josh about what you are looking for and do your research to find the right martial arts style for you. Of course it’s a business and has a «brand», but it’s not the brand or «style» who will be training you or your child. Go in and meet the people.
I would have given 5 stars if they had a second training room with bags, etc available for use when other classes are going on. I definitely would like more dojo time.

We absolutely love this dojo and Sensei Josh Churchill.
Our boys began training when they were 4 and 6, both a little shy and experiencing their first organized sport. Josh could not have been better with them. He was funny, yet firm and confident in their ability to learn. This was especially important for our 6 year old. He had just started first grade and we’d been told by his teacher that he had trouble focusing in class.
Josh, his system and his commitment to the kids have proven to be the right answer for our boys. Our oldest has a much easier time in class and his focus is better. Our youngest has gained confidence in himself and his ability to hold his own with older kids (and his brother). We couldn’t have asked for better results. The boys have been training now for two years.
We plan on continuing with Shaolin Kempo and this dojo for years. Our boys are now joining other team sports. But they are doing it in conjunction with karate. The lessons learned and confidence gained through karate is priceless.

This review is for Josh and Z Ultimate.
My daughter said that she wanted to try martial arts and we net them at the street fair. On our first day of class (one on one session), we could not get her off daddy’s leg. This is a child that is not shy and tries anything and everything, but Josh was soooo accommodating and he made an awkward situation still memorable and fun for her. We later realized that this was an ongoing thing for my daughter (very shy with males other than her father) so we tried a female instructor for her second one on one session. This time, everything went brilliant and my daughter can’t wait to go back.
About pricing, it’s not that they are being secretive or sneaky. It makes for smart business. 1) It deters the type of people there for the buck or saving of a buck. In general observation and according to business books, customers that are price driven are the least loyal to a particular business anyway. They are not the one to be pleased or chased after for business. Raise the cost $ 5 and they are out of there in no time! 2) The price quoting is nothing when one does not realize the value behind the costs. One should be able to present the value and why of the business model before stating its «price.» People who value things will gladly pay the price because money goes to businesses where the values are in line with their own. In other words, people put their money where they find value. I will not disclose $ here but it is a great value and the people are worth it.
I do not know how much other self-​defense studios are because i have not called around… because there is no need to. I value the patience and rapport they have built with us and my 4 year old daughter. They do run monthly specials and group classes by age group are unlimited. Our summer will be packed and may have to take a break but when time allows, we will be back.

We started my son at this dojo right after he turned 4 years old. My little guy is a rowdy boy and the staff has been so patient and encouraging. I cant get him to sit still for a second and somehow Sensei Josh Churchill has channeled the energy. Not only does my son love this Kempo Karate studio, I was so impressed at the transformation in my son and their attention to technique and safety that I started training there too!
Kids class wonderful, Adult Class wonderful, The FREE women’s self defense class wonderful!
