My children and I have been students of CD Young's Karate for 4 years now. Our 3 kids started when they were 4 years old in the Mini-Ninja classes, and we have been there ever since. As both a student and a parent of kids at the school, I have a unique perspective. The instructors are excellent with the little ones, even mine - who at 4 years old were not keen on the idea of leaving Mommy's side. They are always encouraging and positive. As the kids have gotten older, they have been held to an increasingly higher standard of expectation and accountability. I have seen my daughters become stronger, and more confident in themselves, and they have developed a greater level of discipline and focus that has benefited them beyond the martial arts as well. The owners have gone out of their way to establish a "family" atmosphere. There are multiple fun events and outings throughout the year that really make you feel part of a community. The free Wi-Fi in the lobby also makes waiting nicer for the parents.
As a student, I can attest to the benefits of the physical workout you get from every class. It is a robust curriculum, which includes self-defense techniques, sparring, ground-fighting (jujitsu), kata, one steps, drills, cardio and conditioning, basic techniques, and weapons. There are also regular tournaments where students can compete in sparring and kata divisions. This is a true school; all students earn their promotions through hard work, and they learn a great deal along the way. I trust them with my children, and could give no higher recommendation. They are the best martial arts school in Henderson, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a martial arts school.
