We really love it here. Below are the reasons we ultimately chose to take lessons here as opposed to somewhere else:
-they give you a week of free classes, not just one, so you can get a better idea of what classes are like
-when I signed up for the free trial, they asked me about my 4yo son and why I wanted to enroll him in karate. They asked what my goals were for him. They asked if I had any concerns they should work on (confidence, focus, listening, etc.). Other places we visited never asked me any questions about him or tried to get to know him.
-they give you a free uniform
-they don't charge hundreds of dollars up front (one place we visited wanted $300 after only one trial lesson)
-they don't pressure you to sign up; they even encouraged me to try other places before making a decision
Finally, here's a story that further confirms we chose the right place: I messed up the time of class one evening and showed up as class ended. Sensei Chris (the owner and lead instructor) asked an assistant instructor to give my 4yo a private lesson so he wouldn't go home disappointed.
