My kids absolutely love going to karate! They’re learning so much—not just the physical skills, but also focus, self-discipline, and self-control. The instructors are amazing. Kyoshi and Sensei Z make everything fun, engaging, and positive for the kids while still teaching them valuable lessons. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my children to train and grow!

We joined Crescent Moon Karate 6 months ago when my son just turned 4. Our son is very active and like any 4 year old, we struggled a bit with focus and discipline. We were debating between swimming or martial arts - we shopped around for a while and we came across Crescent Moon Karate on google.
We were mainly looking for a fun environment where our son could develop new skills and make new friends.
From the initial call to onboarding and up until now, CMK has been amazing and it has been one of the best investment we have made for our son. Pricing wise, it was not in the middle, not overly expensive, nor cheap. Based on the value it creates, we feel like the membership is priced well.
Head instructor Kyoshi has a natural gift in teaching little humans and in instilling strong foundation for the mind, body and spirit in the most fun way. The curriculum is built upon 3 pillars - focus, discipline and respect, which we love. There is a strong focus on community and continual development that spans over years and we are very glad that we happen to be nearby the dojo.
If you have an active child with special needs and you are just not sure on what activity to choose, book a free introductory class with the dojo and you will not regret. :)
