This is the best karate school by far. We tried a couple others before landing this gem. Brandon and Dom are great with the kids. My kids absolutely love it. They have grown so much since becoming karate kids here. Thank you Universal Kempo Karate!

I had my doubts because I visited other karate places but this place was very welcoming, family oriented, and best of all fun for the kiddos. This is a family -owned veteran business, my daughter has been doing this since June and she has five of her friends class recruited, you will be very impressed by all the instructors and everyone who goes here it is very family-oriented

We absolutely love this karate school! We’ve been coming for almost three years and in that time have really seen our introverted daughter’s confidence soar. The Johnson family is wonderful and truly cares about each and every kid and adult that comes in these doors.
