Our son has learned a lot at Champion Eyes that goes beyond the dojo. Sensei Fidel has had an incredibly positive impact on our son. We've been attending this dojo for years, and all of the hard work, focus, dedication, and care has shown great results as our son is growing up with more focus, confidence and discipline. It goes hand in hand with what we teach at home and the dojo draws a strong correlation to good school habits as well. Our son is also learning self defense, standing up for himself and when it's appropriate to use his hands. Our daughter also attended the dojo for seven years and that time has had a big impact on building her confidence that she still draws on to this day.

Champion eyes is great! Instructors are great with the kids and teach them very well. Brought my kids from another local school and there is no comparison to champion eyes. Not a belt factory the kids learn what they are supposed to in a great environment.

Sensei Armando has set up a positive environment that focuses on developing his students as martial artists. This is not the regular after school Karate program. Sensei's passion for his martial art is evident in the way he teaches, trains and maintains his school. Our son has been attending for 6 months and has developed a passion for Karate that was completely unexpected. Many parents who you will meet while supporting your child will tell you how much their child's character has improved during their time at Champion Eyes. If you have young kids, Sensei Fidel is amazing! His passion and skill for his art is evident in the way he passes the practice to the next generation. He also has amazing weapons skills!
Champion Eyes is not a belt factory. This is a school that focuses on long term development of the next generation of our society.

From the facility to the instructors perfessional. Me being a wimp at 14, ChampionEyes showed me Key Elements I apply to every day life -Foucus,Discipline,Dedication,Honor,Respect, Commitment,Loyalty.something very few people know very little about, now that I'm 23 young and humble I walk and Talk with confidence I now have the solid foundation for my road to success"Finacial Independence", championeyes Kids Program and Adult Fitness Are excellent You'll definately notice results.

The short little owner of this place is no master at all in my opinion. Just an angry little man who bought a karate school. Don't take your children here, it's a joke!

We were here for two years. I was on the fence between 4 and 5 stars. It's a 5 star martial arts education. But on the business/customer experience side of things where my down sides were, it's not a 5 star experience.
The Up Sides :
1) When I evaluated martial arts schools, I paid a lot of attention to the brown and black belts - the product of the school. Here, they were all mutually respectful and genuine as opposed to the very angry, gruff black belts that we saw at other places.
2) The facilities are nice. As a parent, I didn't mind taking the time to read a book there while my son was in class.
3) There was a variety of classes and times available so I could make it work with an otherwise busy schedule.
4) The teachers are all patient, knowledgeable, open to questions and took their time teaching each thing they worked on.
5) The curriculum was not just physical. Very often in class the instructor talked about things like confidence, respect or having a work/school/life balance.
6) They had a few special needs students at any given time and they were always very patient and inclusive of these students. They did not single them out or let them slack but still managed to help them keep up.
7) We had a contract - but the school was really amenable to working with us around odd scheduling issues we had where my son was not available to take classes for a couple of months out of the year.
8) The school had lots of activities for the younger kids to keep them engaged. I was always impressed with how crisp and fierce the younger kids were.
9) Belts aren't handed out like attendance badges here.
Our down sides :
1) It's pricey. Very pricey. Like borderline painful pricey, on a middle to high income. Our compromise (between my son and I) was that my son had to commit to going 3 times a week to bring the cost of a class down under $20. To make it a good value, this really had to be a high priority.
2) I was always being sold something. In addition to the high contract prices, there are testing fees for every belt (5 belt tests ran us almost $300) and equipment for every 'type' of class (sparring, weapons, etc). More than once, while I was watching mys on's class, I was "offered" the "opportunity" to sign up for classes myself - or once, an entire portion of my son's class was dedicated to this third party who came in to sell everyone on their nutrition shakes.
3) I was not always impressed with the outward behavior of the owner. He very often chose explosive yelling at students rather than a more constructive approach and the few classes he taught that we participated in often went over on time (sometimes as much as a half hour), demonstrating a poor lack of respect for everyone else's time. He really has a "If you don't like it you can leave" perspective (he said it repeatedly while teaching), which I'm sure he feels comfortable with, given that you are tied into a contract - but it really leaves a poor taste in the mouth over all. His behavior did not demonstrate the mutual respect that he talked so much about of that I came to expect from the teachers he trained.

Sensei Armando is an incredibly gifted martial artist who he has passed down his talents to the other instructors; Sensei Nick, Sensei Fidel, Sensei Neil and Sensei Chris and Sensei George. They have classes for all ages and experience levels including weapons classes and cardio classes. I have never been to a dojo with a greater sense of comradery and support. Champion Eyes is a fantastic place to train whether your goal is to gain self-confidence, practice self-discipline or to lose weight, I cannot say enough good things about Champion Eyes Martial Arts.
