Caitlyn D02/09/20224Before finding sensei April, we visited a number of dojos in Sarasota, and this one is by far the best. The other teachers are also outstanding. For karate, we won't go anywhere else!
Ava J03/26/20224Four months ago, my two oldest kids—ages 5 and 7.5—started karate, and I couldn't be happier with the curriculum! Sensi April and her teaching assistants are patient, practical, engaging, and detail-oriented. My kids are learning so much, including how to regulate their bodies, how to move deliberately, the gradual benefits of consistent practice, and more. They enjoy practicing, especially my oldest who is dedicated to doing so every day in order to pass his next test and get a black belt instead of a white one.
Alice F05/28/20224Enrolling my son in Sarasota Karate Club is one of the best things I've ever done for him! At first, he was hesitant and extremely shy. The instructors were very understanding and upbeat while still being strict and emphasizing respect. He is positively prospering, and I have observed this in other aspects of his life. It's only been a few months, but already he's shown a considerable improvement in his self-assurance and concentration. I'm eager to follow his future development!
Bella M11/10/20224My two children eagerly anticipate karate nights. The teachings they pick up in class apply to various facets of their lives and include things like respect, patience, and what it means to conduct honorably. I couldn't have asked for a better experience because Sensei April is a fantastic teacher.
