Parents and students share their thoughts on ARIKATA Martial Arts

“This has been a really great experience — both mentally and physically. I find the focus I use here is applied more at work, and I feel generally healthier which was my main objective in taking Karate. I highly recommend this program and school to those looking for a challenge.”

—Matt H.

“This school does a wonderful job of tailoring the classes to the level of the children. They do a great job of balancing the aggressive part of Karate with the fun part of Karate. My son’s Karate classes help him to focus on goals and develop self-confidence.”

“Since Morgan has been taking Karate, I’ve seen an increase in her self-esteem and good behavior. She can be a challenging kid sometimes and I have always found you and your staff to be patient with her and yet know when to give her appropriate discipline. I also feel like your dojo has much more of a family atmosphere that others do – parents are offered a trial of free lessons and I have never felt like kids equal dollar signs as they do in other places. Keep up the good work!”

—Kelly

—Mark & Nicol

“Arikata is a very family-oriented karate school. There are special classes for whole families and we often participate in them. The Keisers are very loving, kind and patient people. They are able to meet their students at whatever level they are at, they challenge those who are very skilled and offer a lot of encouragement to other students who might be learning at a slower pace.”

—Sharon

“The instruction at ARIKATA Martial Arts is fun and exciting. The school provides a varied program and my kids are never bored. They mix discipline, aerobic activity and kata skills to keep the kids interested in coming. My kids have been enrolled for 1-½ years and it has helped with following directions at home and school and also has improved their strength and agility. I would highly recommend ARIKATA instructors for karate.”
