What our clients say
My seuntjie het ‘n effense lae spiertoon gehad. Vandat hy karate doen is dit baie beter. Sensei Jp weet hoe om die kinders die nodige dissipline te leer terwyl hy dit met humor doen om dit “fun” te hou.
Taahir has gained so much self-discipline, focus, and confidence since starting in Feb. He’s participated in 2 competitions and won 2 medals. Sensei is an extraordinary teacher who gives his all to his students and has so much patience (much more than I have lol)… Definitely worthy of more than the 5-star rating Facebook allows. Thank you JP and Amelia for the role you play in my son’s life.
Self-defense, traditional Shotokan karate, sports karate, and much more. Great place for your kids and awesome environment.
