Champion Karate

My son has always shown an interest in karate. Not knowing much about marital arts, I was hesitant about where to sign him up, and what he would be learning. I saw Champion Karate had a special running on facebook, and I knew a few friends had children who attended there, so I thought we would give it a try. They have done such a wonderful job, and I am very pleased with everything that they do. If you are not familiar with Dr. Robyn Silverman, look her up. At Champion Karate, they use her Powerful Words Curriculum to help give the students a better understanding about manners, and how to treat others. Your child will not only walk away with martial arts knowledge, but also with a better foundation to succeed. HIGHLY recommend!

My grandson attended here for six months and I was so impressed with their program. The instructors are great with the kids and the kids learn so much more than karate moves. They made an impression with my grandson that bullying is never cool. My five year old grandson speaks up when someone is being bullied. I have witnessed this several times on the playground. They also taught my grandson self control and discipline. Sadly, my grandson moved and is unable to go here anymore.

This place is AMAZING! My son has been there for the last 3 months and he loves it. The instructors are great and really care about the kids. They teach Kempo Karate, but also the kids learn about the importance of making good choices and being kind, so if you’re worried about karate making your child aggressive, there’s no need to. My son is still as sweet as ever but has gained confidence from taking the classes here. Mr. Friedman is the owner and if you ever have a question or need, he’s always there to help. Mr. Luke and Mr. Brandon are my son’s main teachers and he absolutely adores them. I’ve had no problems at all here. Plus they have a great introductory deal right now where you can get 6 weeks of classes plus a free uniform for $ 69! If that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will!

Happy to report that Champion Karate is strong as ever. A couple of favorite instructors have moved on to accomplish various personal goals but the new ones who have stepped in are excellent too. My daughter is still enjoying her classes as a blue belt and just moved up to the Elite Leadership program where there is a formal plan in place for her to earn her junior black belt (if she sticks with the program) by the time she is 12-​in about 3 more years.
For comparison’s sake, you need to be a minimum of about 16 y/​o with maximum proficiency (on demand) in a documented list of about 150 skills, forms and techniques to earn an adult black belt in Kenpo Karate in this program. I have seen other programs advertised locally where you receive a black belt in 3 years. I have a hard time believing that any child would have the life-​skills to achieve such a lofty goal especially after seeing the work that everyone puts in here. The students work hard because things aren’t dumbed down for them and they like the challenge, the instructors push in a healthy way while holding everyone accountable for strong, technically proficient techniques while at the same time making things fun.

All three of my girls have been here and love it! The instructors are great with the kids.
