My son was a student in the Pee Wee program, All Star Program and graduated to the TKD classes where he eventually earned his first degree Black Belt. The children's program is one of the best in the area. The instructors work with you and your learning needs. They make learning TKD fun while still teaching the art and discipline of Tae Kwon Do. The facility is very clean and the environment is very friendly for all ages. Outside of the TKD classes, the school does multiple events through out the year to get kids and families involved. The owner of the studio is very skilled and knowledgeable and always willing to talk to you about trouble you may have with learning something in class. The studio and owner have been in the community for over 30 years. He definitely knows what it takes to have a successful school.
Itβs honestly the best karate studio in the area. I spent 15+ years here, not just learning the art of taekwondo, but growing as a person and as a family with my fellow students. This place has given me so much, grown me mentally and physically, and become a home. Please give them a try, you wonβt be disappointed!
My boys have been attending since they were 5 years old. Family karate has helped to shape them into respectful young men.
Our family has been involved with Family Karate for 19 years. My son started at 3.5 years old and is now 22 and a 4th degree Black belt. My 20 year old daughter is a 1st degree BB. She took some time off and has recently returned. Family Karate was and is part of my village. As we now foster we put all our kiddos in class. The confidence, focus, Respect (for self and others) helps to rebuild them and pull them away from the trauma they experienced.
Martial Arts is SO much more than a sport or activity. It is a positive environment for students and family. Core values are taught along with the physical skills.
If you are seeking an uplifting positive environment for your child and your family look no further than Family Karate
I take Family Karateβs weekly cardio kickboxing class and love it! Itβs always a solid, high-energy workout! Olivia Naum is a great instructor who puts good thought and coordination into her routines, making them intense, yet fun, and easy-to-follow. The rest of the staff at Family Karate is always very welcoming and kind. A great family-friendly studio in North Lebanon!
I recently started attending classes with my 8yr. Old son and we are having a blast! The instructors approach Taekwondo as another workout alternative while teaching practical usage of the sport. If you inform your instructor what you would like to get out of Taekwondo, they will ensure you receive with much more. It is great for all ages and fitness levels.
I take both karate and kickboxing here and love it! Every single instructor is kind and helpful and genuinely cares about helping each individual do their best. Every class is a solid workout and the instructors will work with you one-on-one before/after class of you have questions or need help with something. There's a good mix of adults, teens, and kids that attend each class and there are a lot of classes to pick from to fit into your schedule. I highly recommend checking out the studio if you're interested in martial arts and/or kickboxing!
Family Karate has been a great experience for my son, they have built his confidence over the past year and i have seen so much positive change - in no small part due to the fantastic instructors. they also have gone above and beyond to provide a combination of virtual and in person classes that fit every families needs during the pandemic.
I have been a member of Family Karate starting as a white belt since 2014. I have practiced at other studios but never felt as comfortable as I did when I began there. The instructors are incredibly professional, and willing to spend extra time between classes to help work with any student that may have questions, want to learn something new, or just have a review of things they were taught that they want the instructors to critique and assist with technique. It was easy to continue in this studio knowing that you will never be judged, just helped along the way. They make this an organization that is easy to brag about being a part of. The words "No and Can't" are not part of the vocabulary when teaching positive reinforcement. Great role models for every student and peers alike. Proud to call myself part of the family and "Family Karate".
I used to just be a spectator taking my cousin to classes, then over two years ago I decide to join in on the fun! It was one of the best decisions I could have made! I have formed a whole new karate family that pushes me to be the best version of myself! The support and love I receive from everyone has pushed me to be testing for my black belt in the upcoming months! The instructors are beyond helpful and motivating! Anyone who wants to build confidence and feel empowered should definitely join family karate! Family karate has become part of my life and my family! We are all involved in family karate!
I could not be happier with my experience at Family Karate! It is so much more than a physical activity or sport. I have seen my childrenβs confidence grow through their training. As a parent I appreciate the focus on discipline and developing good character. As a student myself it offers me a physical and mental challenge I have never experienced with any other activity. I love it! The teachers are knowledgeable and always willing to help if you have a question. The studio offers classes at various times and days to help you fit it into your schedule. And through these difficult times during Covid 19- they are being responsible with the safety and cleaning measures they have put in place. Highly recommend!!
My family has been going to classes here for a few months now and we love it!
Friendly instructors & great with kids. I go to an adult class and my daughter goes to their all star class. They have events as well and birthday parties.
Beyond normal lessons they have extra classes periodically with weapons, kick boxing etc.
All around good place for exercise and taekwondo.
I came to a kickboxing class and fell in love! I just moved to the area and being surrounded by not only kind classmates but kind staff as well is awesome. Totally recommend if you are looking to get a fun (but intense) workout in! π β¦
My girls have gone to three classes and are loving it. They are learning so much more than I thought they would. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.
My son Jesse has been going to family karate for a little over a year. I canβt say enough about the kindness of the staff, the quality of the lessons, and the general enjoyment in coming here. This place is amazing!!!!!
