Valentin Karate is an OUTSTANDING Martial Arts, Tang Soo Do, School. We are longtime customers who have had the joy and privilege to participate in such a dynamic family program for 7 or 8 years now. Valentin Karate provides a well organized and structured yet FUN atmosphere for children (and adult students) to learn concentration, goal setting, physical fitness, self-defense, and strong positive character. My children are tremendously blessed by the outstanding role models and mentors they have found in their instructors as well as the wonderful friendships they've developed with the other students.
It's a great school for our son to learn how to protect and discipline himself. The staff is awesome! He is learning valuable skills while having fun and he's getting a great work out all at the same time. We've only been here for 5 months and we already feel like family. Best decision we've made!
VK is a great experience for the whole family. The instructors are awesome and take time get to know each student. My son has been training there since he was 6. He enjoyed it so much that he convinced us to begin training too. It is truly a family.
