My son started JKI Karate a year ago when he was 9. It has been a great outlet for him physically and mentally. My son had not had any martial arts experience before this class and the instructors have been very patient with him. A year later he is still very engaged and eager to learn. They do take Karate seriously but not to the point of making anyone feel like an outsider. They have been inclusive and welcoming to my son. I appreciate that.

This review is by Kirk Buckner: I have been training at JKI for 2 years. Senseis Mark, Ben, and Chris have a vast amount of experience and knowledge. They are outstanding teachers and martial artists who place on a premium on both skill growth and strong character. They are patient and encouraging and conduct their classes in ways that are both challenging and fun. JKI is a fantastic place for students of all ages. I highly recommend it!!!

The instructors here are very talented and committed to karate as a craft. As a new student with no martial arts experience, I felt welcome and challenged to discover Wado Ryu and have continued to practice for more than two years. I plan to do so for many more. A great group of teachers and students.

My daughters started in the Little Ninjas class around 3 years ago, when they were 3 and 5. Since then they have graduated to the big kid's class and have grown in their abilities and confidence. This dojo is very low pressure and the children have a lot of fun in their classes while learning karate. We attend one class a week, but they offer 3 different time options and students are welcome to attend as many classes as fits their schedules. My husband has since started taking the adult classes and also loves it. I would recommend this dojo to anyone who is looking for a fun way for their children to learn a martial art.
