Recently attended a class with my daughter, and I was blown away by the experience! The instructor's teaching style earned the respect of all the children, and it was fascinating to see kids with different personalities and energy levels completely absorbed in the activity. I'm thrilled with my daughter's progress and enthusiasm with her first class, and I'm already seeing the positive impact at home. The north side location is definitely worth checking out!
Warhorse Karate •Jiu Jitsu provides an exceptional foundation for youth training and development. Their emphasis on character, discipline, and accountability has helped shape our children into thoughtful & respectful young boys, while their physical and technical training has provided the confidence for them to grow and excel in many of their athletic pursuits. Mr. Salsby is a genuine and inspirational leader that brings maximum energy to every class and has kept our kids going strong every single week for years. We highly recommend Warhorse Karate for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental strength while receiving top tier black belt lead karate and jujitsu instruction.
Both of my boys really enjoy their karate class. This is the longest commitment we have had them in so far and we have not had a single class day that they have not looked forward to going. Both of them wanted to participate in the summer day camps for both weeks and are excited about additional opportunities to practice their skills. They are always talking about continuing to learn to be black belts one day. Mr. Grile does a great job at keeping the students focused on their trainings.
Both my kids attend Warhorse and love it. We started at Warhorse 8 years ago. The instructors are great and promote respect and discipline. Warhorse teaches a mix of karate, jiu jitsu and self defense. A well rounded education overall.
My young granddaughter is in the middle of her second year attending Warhorse Karate-Jiu jitsu classes and loves this program. She always has a great time and is excited to get to go to class there each week. All of the kids both show up and leave with big smiles on their faces. The instructor is friendly. I highly recommend this business.
