Our family absolutely loves Desert Mountain Kenpo. Mr. K is an incredible instructor who truly cares about the kids and what he teaches them. It’s not just about karate, he focuses on discipline, confidence, respect, and consistency. The class schedule is also very manageable for families, which makes it easy to stay committed. You can tell Mr. K is passionate about what he does and about helping students grow both on and off the mat. We’re so grateful to have found this dojo and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive, structured environment for their kids.

This is an excellent dojo, and perfect for both children and adults. Both my son and I spent nine years training at this school with Mr K., gaining the benefits of fitness, strength, courage and discipline. Additionally, the dojo is community-minded, raising funds and showcasing their talents in local and school events. Happy to be part of the DMK family!

My daughter says, “I like karate because it makes me stronger and braver, and teaches me how to defend myself.”

My daughter loves Mr. K. Initially she was nervous about starting. After one class she couldn’t wait to return. He keeps it fun without compromising on discipline or structure.

My seven year old son is on his second week and loves this class. I appreciate the way Mr. Keschinger communicates in a caring manner with the younger students and teaches them honesty , courtesy, respect and discipline while maintaining a fun learning environment. Great for children and families of all ages.

My little girl (4) has been a student for 3 months in the Little Dragons classes and I (34) have been a student in the adult classes for a month. The intructor at the dojo (Mr. K) is a great teacher for all ages, and we plan on being a part of the dojo family for a long time.
