Patriot Karate has been a great experience for our son. The instructors and the staff are professional and caring, I recommend them to anyone who wants quality martial arts training in a family friendly environment. Update: After the change in leadership this place went downhill fast. They told my son for months that he would be able to test for his black belt and a few days before the test told him that he was too young. It was handled very unprofessionally and in no way did they care for our son. As positive as it was for him at first, it turned out to be a painful lesson when adults he trusted lied to him and let him down. I can’t recommend them anymore.
Great place to bring your kids, especially during summer camp. The summer camp is perfect for working parents who want their children to be supervised in a fun, environment. Themes are featured during summer camp, like water days, fort building, and several games played daily. Martial arts is still being featured during summer, a great way to teach your child discipline and self defense. They will learn to have a positive attitude and grow in physical and mental health while having fun. The instructors love the kids and are very professional
My oldest daughter started attending Patriot Karate in March 2015. Since attending I have watched my once shy little girl come out of her shell and flourish. Going to Patriot Karate for her classes is the highlight of her week. Mr.Brown is so amazing with his students. He teaches them with an amazing bounty of patience, kindness, and adoration. You can tell he truly loves what he is doing as he instills the love of karate in his students. The other instructors are all absolutely wonderful. Mr. O and Ms. Kimberly are valuable leaders with the same amazing passion for karate as Mr.Brown. They are doing more than teaching karate though; they are helping us parents in raising our children with respect, compassion, and drive. For example, if a child brings in their report cards from school with good marks they praise them for all of their work. Walking in the door you are always greeted with a very warm welcome. You almost feel like you are being welcomed home in that everyone is happy to see you there. Mr.Brown especially makes everyone feel so special. I could not possibly say enough about how amazing Patriot Karate is.
Mr. Brown is truly dedicated to the teaching of the "whole" child. He cares about their life outside the studio and really desires to see future generations succeed. He works tirelessly and knows the delicate balance of being their teacher and having fun with them. The after-hours fun activities give staff time to interact with kids on a whole new level giving both sides the opportunity to get to know one another. The staff is working hard to make necessary changes, always seeking to improve the classes and studio. As a homeschool mom, I am so grateful for Mr. Brown's willingness to offer a daytime class for us. Its a great break in the day and covers a variety of PE activities as well character training. The best part is my kids are learning self-defense techniques. Keep up the good work!
Mr. Brown and his staff are a wonderful part of our family. My son had been asking us to do karate for a while and we just couldn't find anywhere that felt welcoming...until we walked into Patriot Karate. Instantly they made me feel like my son was the most important child in the room. Even in the classes, Mr. Brown and his instructors make sure that each child is important. I can't imagine being anywhere else.
