My son has been coming here for 2 years now and loves it. He has learned so much and has become more self confident. The instructors are great with the kids.
My daughter started at K3 just after her 4th birthday. She’s been in the regular classes, after school program, and Summer camp program and loves all of them. We could not be happier with our K3 experience.
I've been bringing my daughter to K3 for years. She loves it and have so much fun. She's a brown belt now and have learned so much practical knowledge and self defense. The instructors are consistent and fantastic. They really care about your kids but they definitely expect the most out of them, and it is wonderful to see your children rise to meet those expectations! Highly recommend K3 and my daughter will stay here she's a black belt (or beyond)!
My daughter loves this class very much...she was very shy in the beginning, and this class boosted up that confidence in her to come out. She was even asked to join the leadership team which is really challenging her to overcome her fear of speaking in front of others , an now she is so proud to become a coach and help future K3 martial arts students.
Our son (age 7) has just started his journey at K3, and he LOVES it. I haven't seen him so excited about any other activities or sports he's tried. I truly appreciate and admire the way the Sensei and Coaches work with the kids and teach them discipline and focus along with the Martial Arts. I believe we will be a part of the K3 family for a long time. THANK YOU
I've had both of my sons in their martial arts program for several years and they love it! The coaches are patient, funny, and encourage learning through fun games. It has been amazing seeing them grow in strength and skill through this program.
Big shout out to Sensei Johnny at K3 Martial Arts Center. My kids are learning a lot about respect, self improvement, discipline and awareness; all while having fun. Keep up the good work!
K3 Martial Arts is fantastic for both kids and adults! My son trained for five years and had a great experience. Their summer camp is convenient and awesome. I’ve been an adult student for about a year now, and the instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Highly recommend!
My son loves K3! The instructors are great, and he’s learned a lot in a short amount of time. His behavior and confidence have improved in one month’s time. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a disciplined martial arts program.
It's such a blessing for my son to be apart of this Dojo. ALL of his Sensei's are amazing and incredibly respectful and great with all age groups. They are incredibly skilled and work very well with children, especially those with autism such as my son. I very much enjoy watching Sensei Johnny work with my son, as he is incredibly patient and passionate about what he does. The owner of this Dojo is absolutely wonderful, kind-hearted and I can imagine proud of what he has built. They also do adult classes and I fully recommend this Dojo.
My daughter has been training at K3MA for four years now and the impact has been incredible! She’s become more responsible, confident, and disciplined thanks to the supportive and skilled instructors. The dojo fosters respect, focus, and perseverance. I am grateful for this amazing community and highly recommend it to anyone looking to build strength, character, and confidence in their child. This dojo truly sets the standard for excellence
This is by far the best place to send your kids in Roseville! After school care and martial arts is so good for young kids to learn structure and discipline. The teachers are helpful and will take time to help your child one on one. I couldn’t recommend this place more.
My 3 kids started at K3 Martial Arts a little over two months ago but we can already see the positive effects in and outside the dojo. We wanted to find an activity that teaches them a physical skill, self-defense, confidence and discipline and this place delivered. The supportive and caring atmosphere coming from the teachers and the students makes it a safe space for the students to grow their self-esteem and confidence. The teachers are organized and pay attention to every student. The dojo is very well kept and offers a comfortable place for the students to learn and for the parents to watch the class. The kids love it and we, parents, are happy as well. We are looking forward to see our kiddos learn and grow their skills there. We highly recommend K3 Martial Arts.
K3 has been a great experience. I have a 10 year old son that is an only child and in desperate need of discipline and peer correction. We have been in the program for 2 months now and we have already seen noticeable improvements. My son has a great time twice and week and shows marked improvement.
Posted 1 year agoMy kids just started here and they love it! I have a child on the spectrum and they are so accommodating and encouraging! Great experience so far!
I love bringing my son here. The instructors are great with all the kids and my son has learned so much. He has learned self control, how to follow commands and confidence. I would highly recommend this dojo to any family.
K3 Martial Arts has been an amazing experience for our son over the past two years. This isn’t just a place where kids learn self-defense—it’s a place where they build confidence, make friends, and grow as individuals. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and supportive. The senseis are a perfect balance of youthful energy and impressive expertise. They set a great example, showing the kids that professionalism and mastery can be achieved at a relatively young age. It’s inspiring for the students and motivates them to push themselves further. We’ve seen so much growth in our son—not just in his martial arts skills but in his self-confidence and social connections. K3 has become like a second home to him, and we’re so grateful for everything this place has given him. Highly recommend!
My son and I became members of the dojo in April 2024. The instructors and other students were welcoming, friendly, and supportive in both the youth and adult classes. I always get a great workout during class.
K3 Martial Arts is AMAZING! My 5-year-old daughter started classes here a few months ago, and I can’t say enough good things. She was a little shy at first, but the instructors were so kind and patient, helping her feel comfortable from day one. Now, she’s excited to go to every class and shows off her new moves at home. Sensei Johnny and the other instructors have a perfect mix of fun and structure. They’re great at teaching discipline and respect without ever being intimidating. My daughter loves earning stripes on her belt—it’s such a confidence booster! I’ve also noticed her focus and coordination improving, and she’s learning important life lessons like perseverance and teamwork. I also love that there are two female instructors on the staff providing her with role models. If you’re looking for a place that will help your child grow while having a blast, K3 Martial Arts is the place. Highly recommend it to any parent!
K3 has been an amazing outlet for my 2 kids. They love the classes, the after school program, and the summer camp. It has taught them confidence and discipline.
I’ve been a student here for pushing 5 years now, and I couldn’t think of a better place for a kid to be. Martial Arts isn’t only about learning to fight or defend yourself, but truly about bettering oneself. Kids I’ve seen that have felt demotivated are active and up-spirited, kids lacking confidence have grown to be strong mentally and physically, and so much more scenarios I could mention. The years here could go by in a flash and you see your child or the other students you’ve trained with here since earning that white belt with a glowing smile once they’ve finally became a black belt. Once you get that belt, it is well deserved.
This has been a great confidence booster for our son! I also appreciate their coaching style - they teach respect and hold kids accountable for their actions. We’ve been here many years now and everybody knows his name, he can really feel like he belongs!
My kid love k3 the teachers are helpful and help on things she is confused about.My kid can wait to go to k3 not only she learns new skills and does fun activities and the teachers share words of encouragement
Caters to multiple age ranges so there is a class that fits anyone. Our 6yr old is really enjoying it and looks forward to classes every week. The instructors are attentive to each student even though it seems like there is a large group. There are multiple coaches and instructors that are at each session for that reason.
My two kids having great experience with K3 martial arts, they love it !!!! I will recommend to anyone who want to learn martial arts!!!!
K3 has been amazing for my kids, their confidence has grown so much!
Our kids have been attending K3 for about 2.5 years now and they love it. They have been doing very well and my wife and I can definitely see the confidence that it has given all three of our kids. They also have learned the beginning of being able to help and teach the younger kids that are starting to attend. They respect their instructors very much and really don’t like when they have to miss any classes.
I’ve been bringing my son and daughter to K3 for years (7 & 9 years old). They both love it and have so much fun. They’re both almost blue belts now and have learned so much practical knowledge and self defense. The instructors are consistent and fantastic. They really care about your kids but they definitely expect the most out of them, and it is wonderful to see your children rise to meet those expectations! Highly recommend K3 and my kids will stay here until they are black belts (or beyond).
Excellent staff and teachers. Jonny and his instructors are extremely professional and helpful to all the students, no matter how big the class and age. My son is 12 and has been there almost 7 months and is a about to take his orange belt. Very pleased. Would highly recommend this company....👍
Very good I have did this for 11 years and they have never disappointed me very helpful and fun
Our 13 year old has been practicing at K3 for about 5months and we absolutely love it here. Sensei Johnny and Sensei Ava command respect and kindness with the perfect balance of discipline and fun for the kids. We can’t say enough about Sensei Ava, who teaches our classes. She keeps the classes rolling at the perfect pace, is so good with the kids and coaches, manages the room with ease, and is a wonderful strong role model.
This is a review of both the K3 martial arts and their after school program. My son loves them both!! We have been attending K3 2x a week since last fall. It's so good to see him practicing, being physical and progressing. The instructors are fantastic, fun, energetic and earn the respect from the kiddos. We have a blast watching the classes! He just started attending the kid's camp and I got a "you're too early" when I came to pick him up. He had a great time. I love that he has fun in such a safe and UNplugged environment!!
Great experience throughout the year. Joined in 2020 as a way to get healthy and due to my job practical self defense. Amazing environment for all ages.
K3 is by far the best martial arts place in Roseville. The instructors are amazing and great with the kids. I have two of kids here now. Great structure and discipline taught in a fun way. My kids love going to K3. I would highly recommend K3 to anyone looking for a place to train in martial arts.
This is an excellent Martial Arts Studio. The people are unbelievably well trained and friendly. A very unique combination of virtues. The classes for young kids are focused on discipline and fun. The instructors are teaching these kids how to be good people and to protect themselves. As far as the adult classes, the ages range from late teens to late sixties. And there's a wide range of skills. I highly recommend this place for all boys and girls, and men and women. This is a great place to get in shape ,have fun and learning self defense.
Our 4 year old LOVES k3 martial arts. He looks forward to classes every week! K3 has taught him focus, discipline and the importance of perseverance. We love the flexibility in class times and the amazing coaches. We love watching him learn and grow alongside so many other students.
We have had a great experience at K3. My son has gained a lot of confidence taking martial arts. He always gets great guidance from the instructors. Everyone there is super nice and helpful.
I love K3 Martial Arts! First started there over 13 years ago and still am loving the classes, experiences, and lessons being taught there! It's the best Martial Arts and Kids Camp program I know
My kid's are really doing great at K3 Martial Arts. They are always looking forward for their class
K3 is the best dojo in Placer County. My kids love it and their staff is amazing 🤩 I highly recommend them.
Amazing staff that truly work with our child. He absolutely loves the summer camp program. Sensei Johnny really has made a huge impact on our kid for the better. All the instructors are amazing with children. Very happy we found KA. HIGHLY recommend!!!
Saysung Doyle and Sensei Johnny and all of the staff are absolutely amazing. The programs are amazing, everything from the karate to the summer camp is absolutely incredible. They work with our kid and he has made leaps and bounds since starting the program. I want to thank all the staff and I highly recommend K3MA.
Extremely happy with our experience with K3. The after-school program allows my older child to be picked up from school, get homework done, and participate in Karate every M, W, F. He has learned many different things these last few weeks: discipline, focus, confidence, and courage. He has received encouragement from Johnny and Doyle on pushing through, even in difficult situations and I appreciate their support in developing my child. I have been pleasantly surprised with our time here and only wish I had found them sooner!
Very professional, my 11 year old twins loved it, and they actually got my 2 teenage daughters to smile when they are away from their phones! 😂
A shy little four year old started in this dojo. She is going on 10 and recently received her Jr. Blackbelt. This dojo and the staff have not only taught her courage, determination, responsibility and accountability, it has taught her family the same. Being an only child with a single mom, we as grandparents wanted to make sure she could face the challenges that life would bring her. K3 has instilled many great qualities in our granddaughter. She is not afraid to stand up in front of people and express herself. She is not afraid to speak up if she sees something wrong. She has turned into a compassionate young lady with excellent study habits. She is excelling in school and loves to read. The encouragement this staff provides is amazing. The look on her face when she completed her mile in the time needed for her blackbelt and sparkle in her eyes when she received her certificate, well that is enough to show this dojo is there for our kids. Thank you K3 for your support and encouragement and time you dedicate to these kids and to us as parents.
Our son recently started at K3. His first 2 classes were with Johnny and my son LOVED it. He can't wait to go back. We struggle with getting out son to listen to instructions and Johnny was incredibly thorough. He was the perfect level of friendly while also holding the authority level my son needs in order to listen and respond. I was hesitant that my son wouldn't follow the commands in class but have been really happy to see that he has. I appreciate that K3 encourages the kids to follow the requirements in order for reward. This is incredibly valuable in a child's learnings of putting in hard work in order for the pay off. I really enjoy seeing the level of respect the students have in K3. The leaders care so much about the progress of the students and their achievements, that is very clear. We can't wait to continue with our classes!
I highly recommend K3 Martial Arts for fitness, self-defense, and self-confidence. Classes are well organized, intense, and cover real world scenarios. Sensei Johnny fosters an environment of hard work and supporting one another. Classes (at the time of this review) are all-belt and are structured so that students at all levels are supported and challenged. New students gain valuable skills right away.
My daughter has been attending K3 since she was 5 years old, she is now 10. I think the fact that we have been here for 5 years says a lot about K3. Not only are the sensei’s helpful they make the classes fun for the kids too. The atmosphere of K3 is one that is supportive, encouraging, and fun. All the kids there are respectful not only of the instructors but the other kids as well. My daughter has made some great friends while at K3, and she always looks forward to going to class. Long story short I would highly recommend K3.
I've been a Krav Maga student here for 5 years (...and counting...). I have to say it's been an incredible experience. The instructors are top notch and the dojo is a very encouraging and welcoming environment. On top of learning a practical and effective self defense system, you will also get a great workout! Sensei Johnny is a great instructor who brings out the best in all his students. It's been a pleasure to train with him and my fellow students. If you're looking to learn self defense that really works and get in great shape , this is your new dojo!
I am taking the adult krav maga class, and really enjoy it. Sensei Johnny does a really good job getting everyone of all abilities up to speed quickly. More advanced students also help everyone of all belts. It really is a fun and welcoming environment, and I highly recommend anyone to try it out!
My 4 year old and myself go there. I love that some of the older students help with the little dragons that my son is in. The way these older students interact with the younger ones is awesome to see and gives me hope for the younger generation. K3 is a great place for the family to grow and train together.
Our girls have been attending K3 for nearly a year. We have seen a tremendous change in their attitudes and self discipline. The entire staff are very friendly and welcoming. All the instructors are amazing! The girls were in the after school program and we absolutely appreciated how responsible the staff was with getting the kids on time from school.Highly recommend K3 martial arts for everyone in the family!
My 8 year old son has ADHD, and has a hard time focusing and paying attention in school and other aspects of life. With the help of Karate instruction, given by the excellent instructors @ K3 Martial Arts, his focus, attention, and overall lifestyle has been greatly improved. He is more confident in things he does; walks with a "swagger," and has become more successful in school. We owe it all to the K3 lifestyle and would highly recommend this for any and all children, regardless of physical or mental state (ADHD, etc.)
The instructors are very good and understanding with all the kids. They take time to make sure all students are listening to instructions and following them. My son has improved his attention span and loves going to class.
K3 is a great program for kids! It helps with their confidence, the after school programs and camps are amazing, our son has so much fun going to them. They learn karate, meet friends, get help with homework ( in the afterschool program) and have many fun activities. The staff are helpful and kind it’s an amazing environment to be in.
We have been going to K3 for almost a year now and my daughter really enjoys it. The instructors do a great job and Doyle is always a pleasure to talk to about anything. While we like the continuous classes, we really love the summer camp option they have.
K3 has been a game changer for our daughter. We started about a year ago and I can’t say enough good things about the lil dragons program. She’s stronger, more independent and more confident than when we started. We started K3 prior to her beginning pre-k. I firmly believe the experience in her classes and interactions with all the instructors made the pre-k transition much easier on her. Thankful the instructors care like they do!
We love going to K3 Martial Arts Center. My son and daughter have both increased their confidence! My daughter is now able to perform in front of an audience and use her voice. She even signed up for the talent show this year at school and read in front of her class. We also use the afterschool program and it has been wonderful and easy! They are always doing something, going somewhere, learning something new and hanging out with friends. I highly recommend K3. You become part of the family.
Both my son and daughter started in the K3 Summer Camp after searching for the right program. K3 has been a wonderful and fulfilling place for both kids and they live every minute of their time. They have continued in the after school program and with Karate. Both are set to test for purple belt soon and they could not be more excited. k 3 has given them strength and confidence that I never dreamed they could have at such a young age! I highly recommend this dojo and karate program
K3 has helped the Creekview Ranch School PTA raise money with organizing Kids' Nights. Their programs help kids gain confidence, discipline, and learn skills all in a fun environment. We received so much positive feedback from our parents and kids! We look forward to working with them again!!
I took my son there today who just turned 4 for a private lesson to see if hes ready, I was very impressed with his instructor and the ground rules he laid up front that he expected which was following his rules and respect. My son had a difficult time after his dad and younger brother left the room so the instructor said to give him a month or two. We are very eager to try again when hes a little older and start martial arts for him here.
K3 Martial Arts is #1. Our community is blessed to have them. They reached out to us, Junction Elementary Parent Teacher Club (PTC), and let us know that they are here to help us with our fundraising efforts this school year (2017-2018). Can you believe it? A business reaching out to a school to help raise funds?! The PTC did not have to go to them. This year, they have offered 6-week classes with all proceeds going back to the school. And, it did not stop there. They have offered two “Parents Night Out” with 100% going back to Junction Elementary. And, Junction will have a movie night before the end of the school year. Not only has Junction profited, but parents have also “won” – easy date night and awesome environment for their children! Junction students are having fun! They are learning discipline & confidence, and building character & leadership qualities! K3 Martial Arts is teaching kids self-discipline, hard work, and respect. The PTC urges everyone to check them out. We are proud to have them as part of our community!
K3 has enabled and encouraged my daughter to be a confident and respectful young lady. Sensei Johnny works extremely well with young kids and engages with them effectively. The classes are well orchestrated and tailored to each age bracket appropriately. The community that K3 has created is outstanding. Parents and kids are able to actively engage with each other even when not in class or training. Amazing Dojo. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for dedicated individuals to empower and encourage their children or themselves by ways of mixed martial arts.
I have been taking my son here for about 3 yrs now. He started when he was 4.5. And what a transformation? I am so proud of him. He looks forward to attending sessions. Learning and growing with every class he takes. When I asked him once..what he wanted to do with Karate, he told me this, "I want to be like Sensai Johnny". I said with a grin, " Why is that?" He replied, "Sensai Johnny is a Master like Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." He was 5 when he said that. My Son will be turning 8 this year, and you know what? He still wants to be a Master..The instructors here are amazing and inspire these children to believe in themselves. Why wouldn't you want your kids to thrive for something more? To be involved in something greater than themselves. To maybe, one day, teach others to believe in themselves like their predecessors did before them. To be better human beings! Give K3 a chance! I'm sure glad my son did!
I am a helicopter parent for sure. I have spent a lot of time at K3 with an after school program as well as martial arts and witness their programs from start to finish. Their martial arts programs are top notch and the sensei's are all very good with the kids. After school activities include an excellent mindful meditation class with a very talented leader and many supervised activities including karaoke and a bouncy house for the kids. I would definitely recommend to any parent or child to get involved!
We were struggling to find an after school activity for my six year old daughter since she was not interested in sports at all, and then she told me she would like to try karate. So she just started taking karate classes at K3 about 6 weeks ago and absolutely loves it! I am very impressed with the way the instructors teach the kids essential values and relate them to every day life. The school is very clean and well-managed.
OUTSTANDING PROGRAM!! After one lesson we were convinced this was the right program for our children. K3 Martial Arts provides constant motivation and encouragement. We love how Sensei Johnny and the other instructors incorporate humour in their lesson which makes for a stress free environment. We are constantly amazed with the progress both our children are making. They love the program as much as we do!
My son started at K3 in Feb of '16 and in this short period we have witnessed his confidence, focus, discipline, and motivation improve dramatically. Everyone involved (both instructors and students) is encouraging and the program is challenging... We see tremendous growth each time he tests for a new stripe and pride in his accomplishments as he earns each new belt. We are so pleased with our decision to go with K3.
For our family 5 stars is simply the lowest we could give K3 - from day one each and every instructor has been a pleasure to work with and they are incredible with the kids - the growth we have seen in our children since being a part of K3 is beyond what we could have hoped for - both of our boys have gained so many great skills from the K3 program and for that THANK YOU! I know this a great program and environment when one of my sons told me "I never want to stop going to karate, I think I want to be a teacher there someday" - thank you to all of you at K3, looks like your stuck with us for years to come, smile!
My son started at K3 when he was 4.5 years old. Now he is 5 and a purple belt. This has show him respect, confident and disciplined. I recommend anyone to bring their son/daughter to K3 and watch them evolve into young kids/adults. This was the best decision I ever made.
My son started karate at Team Dragon Star in May 2015, at the age of 12. He wasn't into sports and I wanted to find an activity he would enjoy, besides playing video games. He loves it, and is excited to go to practice - I don't even have to nag him to get off his video game to go. He likes the instructors and feels comfortable with them. He responds well to their badge-earning system (lots of positive reinforcement), and loves using the weapons. He's earned his second level red belt and is looking forward to going all the way to his black belt. We really love K3 Martial Arts/Team Dragon Star. I highly recommend it.
My young son was very shy and had a difficult time in team sports. We tried Martial Arts and it has been great. The instructors are wonderful and patient with the kids and yet set a high expectation and help them achieve it. I highly recommend K3 especially Sensei Johnny and Joey.
My daughter has been attending martial art classes here for over two years now. The instructors are very thorough and encouraging, while instilling character, discipline and fun into their classes. My daughter’s self esteem has improved greatly and her natural leadership skills are being developed in a healthy way. Way to go K3!
My 4 year old son absolutely loves taking karate classes at K3 Martial Arts! Such a great dojo with fabulous instructors. He is learning so much and his confidence has been growing tremendously since starting classes. From self defense to important life lessons they really make there lessons come full circle for kids of all ages. Would definitely recommend!
Want to provide your children with an opportunity to build their self-confidence? Think your child might benefit from an environment where they get to have fun but are still expected to remain respectful and courteous? Team Dragonstar is the place to start. My son was anxious when entering the dojo just over two years ago, but Johnny had him ready to learn within minutes. His concerns about moving up to middle-school never manifested because he now has the self-confidence to know he can handle pretty much anything thrown at him. Our daughter begged to join after watching her brother attending class a few times. Despite a heavy dance schedule she still gets to the dojo as often as she can and trains her forms and defenses at home. Her brother even works with her on weekends using the praise-correction-praise method we learned in class. Give it try - you’ll love the results.
I signed my son up at Dragon Star last March. Since then I have seen a huge change in him. He used to be shy and afraid to get up in front of people. Now he has a lot of confidence. He really enjoys his classes, and his instructors are amazing. They are so patient and they make it fun for the kids.
My son started with TDS in 2013 as a white belt in the little dragons and now he's a brown belt in the Master Quest program. Team Dragon Star is focused on helping kids improve their focus, attitude, skills, and to always strive to be their best. My son is a leader in school and other team sports and I give TDS the credit. The instructors Johnny and Doyle and the other student teachers are wonderful with the kids and make it a fun environment for them
When I signed my 9 year old up for TDS he was still very withdrawn and emotional from the divorce his dad and I were going through. Within just a few days of the program, he was smiling again, he was excited to go to class, and he would practice all the time. He loves the instructors there, especially Sensei Johnny, who has inspired him to want to teach at the dojo when he's older. Before I signed up my 7 year old, my oldest would teach him all the forms he was learning. So when I finally signed up the 7 year old, he was ready! He wasn't really into athletics like my oldest but he has excelled in ways I never thought possible. They finally have something they are both good at and enjoy. Thank you TDS for all you do, I am forever grateful!
Huge fan of TDS...my son has been going for 1 1/2 years now and it amazes me how much confidence and self-esteem he has now. We were told by a friend that Martial Arts could help with this, but the team at TDS really makes this a priority. The changes he has made at home and school are amazing and I know they wouldn't have happened without this program. On top of this most important life skill...he is also learning Karate, earning his belts, and how to protect himself. This couldn't be more of a "Win, Win" situation. If you are looking for a great Karate School and one that will help your child become more confident...this is the place for you!
I have been here with my kids for almost two years. It has been amazing! We started out needing discipline and training and the staff at Dragon Star has been continually helpful. They went above and beyond to help us with our training and home schooling. They treat me and my children with up most respect and positivity. My kids can't wait to go and my youngest can't wait to get started. The Krav Maga class is challenging and fun as well.
Thank You Dragon Star Karate! You have made a huge impact in our son's life. We have noticed he has become more focused, confident, and disciplined. He absolutely loves participating and learning all the new moves. As his mother, I enjoy watching his enthusiasm and desire to continue to learn. He has joined other sports and activities; however, after a couple months he has gotten bored. He is going on over a year with Dragon Star Karate and he loves it. The instructors are kid friendly and driven to help the kids succeed.
We love the feel of Team Dragon Star Karate. It is a great family environment. They have classes for the whole family. The instructors are awesome and the kids respond well to the way they teach. Our son has been going there for about a year and he loves it! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Dragon Star Karate is a great place for the whole family. My daughter has been participating for just over a year now and you can see the difference in her with coordination, over all attitude, and they have helped her with using her voice and not being so shy to say hello to someone. The kickboxing classes were great for my wife and I as well.
Before my first Krav Maga class, I watched students walk into the room with no belts and students with yellow or orange belts. They belts looked pretty I wanted to have one made just specially for me. As I observed the students warming up and stretching, I noticed that everyone is a different ethnicity and most importantly the class was full of different ages. You’ve got a teenager taking the class with her 40 something year old father. Retired individuals. You’ve got a few young kids from their teens all the way to students that all in their late 50s and early 60s. Sounds scary but they had to have started somewhere just like everyone to matter what socioeconomic background you came from this Dojo does not discriminate anyone because of their size, gender, color and age. we are all treated the same from our instructors. The class itself was amazing. Now I was a runner a few years ago. I ate healthy, worked out 5-6 times a week, trained for half marathons that I did every few months. That was when I was certified as a personal trainer with the American Council on Exercise. I had all the advantages I could think out of. That was 1.5 years ago. I felt a little confident. It was quite a challenge for me since it's been months since the last time I ran around the block. My breathing was hard, sweat was coming down my face into my eyes but these was pains of awesomeness. We were pushed and I thought if these students can do it I can too. Johnny our head instructor introduced himself to me before class and reminded me that I know my own body and if I should stop (not quit) I could. During the class the students were encouraging and gave a lot of pep talk during moves we had to do. Great group of people.The first Krav Maga class you will ever take and it will last you a lifetime. When you walk in you will first see Ms. Rey. She will go through everything with you before you start class. She’s a young pretty lady with a resume of experience in Krav Maga. Our Master Doyle, the head of the Dojo. His experience dates back to 4 decades. He’s funny and generous. Then There is Sir. Johnny, the head instructor. He’s been doing this a long time also but not as old as Master Doyle. He’s a great head instructor. When I joined, he thought Level 1 class and he was our instructor for a few months. He will jump in to teach the class occasionally so be ready, in a good way and leads to our current instructor for the last few months. Sir George. George is a kind man that is also patient and wonderful with his students. He’s been a student of the Dojo for many years now and has the experience to assist us in our continued success. All these amazing instructors yell out encouragements that make Personal Trainers look like they are playing in Junior Varsity.Since I have been taken the Krav Maga and Krav Fit (similar to cardio kickboxing) classes, life has turned not for the better but given me back what I had lost when my volcano erupted. I was so happy again that my aura looked like dancing lights at a night nightclub being one with the music. Okay that was maybe a little too much. I am now a happy person filled with determination, motivation, commitment, respect, confidence (which is on cloud 9). It has been for a good while now), and all the great words I can't think of right now. Everytime I walk into the Dojo I get filled with what it has to offer. I smile genuinely in public now, I interact with more people than ever. I’ve met great new friends that only have kind and pure words coming from their heart. My sense of humor has completely made a permanent residence in my brain. Keep Calm, live, laugh, play, defend and protect HARD!
| started my daughter in the Dragon Kidz class about 6 months ago. From the onset the staff has been brilliant. The atmosphere is attentive and family oriented. Everyone is supportive and encouraging . I have personally seen the creed and motto carry over into other aspects of my daughters extracurricular and academic activities with increased focus and "Try my Best" attitude applied overall. After attending classes twice a week for 4 months, I decided to sign up myself for KUT..... Again, everyone is encouraging and motivating We couldn't be happier and I would not hesitate to recommend this Dojo to anyone and everyone
Started my 4 year old son here about 4 months ago and have seen some pretty great changes in him. Dragonstar has given him the opportunity to tap his potential as well as give his confidence a good bump! Its been a great experience and i expect that we'll be in it for the long run! Thanks to the staff at Dragonstar for all that you do!
The Team Dragon Star Martial Arts School is an Excellent school. Seh Sung Doyle and Sensei Johnny are excellent instructors and they ensure that everyone meets their goals. The staff is awesome. They have helped me meet my goals. I have not felt as fit as I do today in over 20 years. I’m more energetic, stronger, lost 10 lbs within10 weeks and overall I feel great. If you want to burn fat and lose inches and learn self defense, this is the place to be. It’s fun and the people are great to workout with. You can't go wrong. I’m motivated and addicted. Thank you Dragon Star Karate.
My kid was very nervous and angry .The school called us many times his teacher was telling us every time the same thing over and over again , that we need to do something so he can manage his anger . I was talking with many experts most of them said that best thing is to send him in marital arts school . So I was asking my friends where in our area can we find the best school. They recommend it Team Dragon Star as the best . After training for 3 months my son now is very calm he doesn’t make any problems at school . Now I also thing to take up krav mana class for me .. BEST MARITIAL ARTS SCHOOL IN ROSEVILLE
My kids and I have been a part of Dragon Star Karate for 6 years. It has been a great place for the kids to learn about self discipline, respect and always trying to do their best! They have also both gained more confidence in themselves and that has transferred over into how they do in school. I also take classes at Dragon Star and due to the goals that I set for myself I lost 25 twenty five pounds and have kept it off for over 1 1/2 years now. I would recommend Dragon Star Karate for both kids and adults. Summer is a great time to try something new and learn some self defense and to stay active.
My daughter loves it here! The other kids in the class help her out and encourage each other. I love the fact that she has a place to go where the kids don't judge her on her performance like soccer and softball. In result her confidence is thru the roof! I owe it to Dragon Star.
The environment is high energy, positive, structured and lots of fun. Students receive the discipline and attention they need to reach their goals. It is a great place to get in shape and learn self defense. I have been there for about a month now and can already see the changes in my body and mind. I leave each class with more confidence than the last. i would recommend Dragon Star to all ages. Two Thumbs Way Way Up!
My daughter has been going for almost two years and still loves going to classes.She has never been a part of any other sport where she used the term "I Love going to classes" This has been such a great experience for her. The classes are very engaging and help with focus and self discipline. All levels are welcomed. The staff and students are so supportive and generous with their time. This has been the best experience for her on all levels. Thank you!
Started out taking Krav Maga here and was very nervous. The Instructors, staff and other students are amazing! They all made me feel right at home. The main Instructor, Doyle, told my every day that "I can do this!" I lost 6 lbs my first month, only 2 lbs my 2nd. But after 5 months my clothes are really lose now and I feel great! 3 months ago I started my 5 year old Daughter in the Little Dragons classes and she wouldn't even get on the mat. Sensei Johnny never gave up on her and after 3 classes she finally went on the floor with him. Now she never wants to leave! We love this place!
My 4 year old has a blast going here. She teaches us things she learned and is excited to practice with us at home. It has taught her discipline, self-confidence, and she has fun doing it. The instructors are all friendly.
Probably one of the best martial arts kids programs that can be found. Outstanding staff, excellent facility, Did I mention that the staff is outstanding. Sadly, the staff is often occupied in teaching and running the business, they don't have an email address, nor a voice mail, so if you have to try and take care of something, so not good.
Dragon Star (now K3) is a very interesting Karate place. During my time there I enjoyed a lot of the structure and exercise I got from there. However, the karate itself is clouded by many of the people who attended there. Many kids were disrespectful and clique. Also many of the instructors were biased and unprofessional. It was evident many of them were there for money at times. There are many great things there, but unfrotunately people and money constantly get in the way.
Pretty disappointed getting to my sons first class, we had arrived 5 minutes early like the packet stated. To be told that we had to arrive 10 minutes early and to rescheduled for a different day. Left with a sad toddler who didn’t understand why he couldn’t try karate for the first time, and a wasted 30 min drive. Very inconsiderate by not explaining instructions properly.
This Place Sux as a Business they do not take care of their Clients. they are Dishonest and the Lie about teaching the Kids real values in Life. I will not recommend this Place to anyone. Do not get your Child in this Karate School the are not Honest about their Membership Dues and they will Take your Hard working Money and they will run away with your money. Believe me You ask around this place is not what they are. if you want to loose your money this a place to do it. Sensei are Liars and will avoid any Issues Members have regarding their Membership.
"Sensei" Johny shows a complete lack of respect to parents and students alike. He made my son cry in our third week of our trial period! There are no obvious lesson plans or progression of skills. Promotions are given to all students without being earned. Lessons are inconsistent. If this were a cheap Parks and Rec program I'd be happy enough, but it's not. We went to KOVAR'S and we're so thrilled!!!
