Great Karate school! Sensei Wyane and all the teachers do amazing work to keep the kids engaged and learn self defense skills in a very friendly environment! My both kids love their Senei Wyane and especially his obstacle course every session!

Got a kid that is a little challenging or is hesitant to get involved in sports activities? This is the best program you can get them in. The Senseis are amazingly patient and engage these kids. True experts! After 18 months, I can safely say this has been a great help for my son.

Our Son has been part of the Karate for All (KFA) Family (yes Family) since he was 4 (2016). KFA ensures to make our kids (as our daughter does it as well now), feel like they belong from the first second on the mat. This place teaches the fundamentals of Karate, but also the fundamental life skills that may not be so obvious to all children. This place teaches kids using various methods, all encouraging and engaging for kids of all ages and all abilities. If you want a place that covers the fundamentals of Karate (with integrated Occupational Therapy), social skills, ohhhhh and most importantly a staff and Sensei that think the world of the kids, then this is it.

Sensei Wayne and his team do an amazing job with the Karate program that extends beyond the sport. My son learns and builds life skills in a positive and fun environment. I couldnt recommend enough.

Our son is neuro atypical and has been coming to KFA for almost 3 years. This has been a remarkable experience, and he has thrived in this program.KFA runs martial arts programs with a focus on Occupational Therapy and specifically designed for special needs kids.The lead Sensei, Wayne, is an OT and 3rd Degree Black Belt. Two other Sensei are Brandon and Jerry, both of whom were trained through the KFA program. They are all AMAZING, as are the large group of staff. The student:staff ratio is usually 1:1. The programs are highly individualized, and work intensively on martial arts at all skill levels, confidence building, interpersonal skills, and life skills.Their response to COVID was fantastic, and they continue to maintain the highest standards for cleaning and participant safety.We have been constantly impressed with this Dojo and their programs.Truely an exceptional group, devoted to the kids, community, and art.

As their website says, Karate For All is a unique martial arts program that combines the Art of Karate-Do with the knowledge of occupational therapy, developed for all children and teenagers.I have attended and studied at many different martial arts studios over the years, and never have I found one to be so caring, open, and committed to the values at the core of the martial arts.Shotokan karate is the style taught which emphasizes focus, self-esteem, self-discipline, calmness, and a more positive attitude toward life. The senseis at this studio embody these values.Run-of-the-mill karate studios are often not a good fit for children who may be different or have special needs. Karate for All is the perfect place for them to begin a life-long journey to self discovery.Our grandson has grown up at this studio, and just tested for his black belt. During the pandemic, the studio made every accommodation for him to continue his training remotely.Our entire family is thankful for Karate For All!

We are so grateful for Sensei Wayne to have started Karate for all. And want to give thanks to Sensei Brandon and his team for making a difference in my now 4 yr old son who is developing at a different pace. We have seen an improvement in his behavior, attention, social skills, digestion and in physical strength.

Our both sons have been at KFA for several years now. The elder one earned his 2nd Dan Karate Black Belt earlier this year while the younger one just obtained his 1st Dan Karate Black Belt this past weekend!! This has been a long journey for all of us, but it has been especially rewarding because of the expert guidance from Sensei Wayne and his awesome team of young volunteers! KFA is not just another karate academy. This is a special place that inspires & nurtures social, emotional & physical skills in kids who may have special needs or who may lack self-confidence. Our younger son has always been a bit of a distracted kid, and needed some help with general focus and concentration, which is what prompted us to enroll him at KFA 5 years ago. He is a very different kid now, and much of that transformation occurred on Sensei Waynes watch. Sensei Wayne is a kind, patient, understanding, but a firm professional who knows what it takes to help kids like our son. Even if your child does not have special needs, KFA is still the recommended #1 place to learn Karate and everything else that comes with this traditional Japanese martial art. Trust me...i know...I now take immense pride in telling others we have 2 Black Belts in the house, both from Karate For All!

Love it here. Sensei Wayne makes it fun for the kids. Our daughter is 5 now and she loves it. She started when she was 4 and he helped her stay engaged but most of all made things fun.

My daughter has been practicing karate at Karate For All for about a year and in that time I’ve seen tremendous improvement in her self-confidence, poise, and self-regulation! Before practicing karate with Sensei Wayne and Sensei Jerry, my daughter viewed herself as small and unathletic. In the past year, her view of her athletic abilities has changed drastically and she feel empowered to stand up for herself with improved social skills, communication, and yes, self-defense. She is eager to show off her karate skills to her friends and now perceives herself as strong and capable. We are grateful every day that we joined Karate For All!
