Two of our children have earned Black Belts at Life Dojo. It has been the most valuable and impactful experience of their lives. It has built their confidence and their characters. We are so very thankful. David & Katie Hersey

Our 17 year old has been learning here for 11 years. We cannot recommend the Life Dojo team more highly. Yes, our child has grown in his Karate skills. But much more than that, he has been supported and strengthened through some major life challenges. Gretchen & Drew Davis

Live classes, online classes, and on-demand classes, support for families who are struggling, charity fundraising, community involvement, allowing parents to train together with their children to strengthen that family bond... who does these things? Only the greatest, most invested, and most loving communities do these things! These are the hallmarks of a great school, and I am proud to have my daughters, along with their cousins, and previously their father and their uncle, train here. Family Karate's Life Dojo not only nurtures their students but the entire family unit, and THAT is what sets it apart from anybody else. Lisa McCague

The team at Family Karate’s Life Dojo has been amazing. I am learning to better my parenting skills simply by observing their incredible levels of patience and commitment to excellence with each student. Chuck Cason

We were introduced to Family Karate's Life Dojo when Ethan was in First Grade. He was very hesitant because at that age he was afraid to try new things, but Ethan loved class and has never looked back! Now Life Dojo is truly a part of our family every day. Whether it's practicing a new routine, being kind to others, or working hard in school, Life Dojo has helped to shape our son into the kind, courteous, and hard-working high schooler that he is today.
