This is a great place to practice Karate. The instructors are wonderful and very professional. My daughter has been attending for over a year now and she has really been able to improve her self esteem and realize her self worth. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone interested in learning this art.

Our boys have been part of the Holt Dojo Family for the past 9 1/2 years! The confidence, determination, discipline, skill set and support that our boys have learned, have helped them in ways we could have never imagined. Being part of the dojo has led our boys to opportunities of growth and success, as well as earning life long mentorship from Sensei Mark and Sempai Danny. We are very proud, Holt Dojo parents!

The Dojo's billing and enrollment system is straightforward and easy to use. The written materials, and online videos, that are available for study are very helpful. It gives parents/grandparents a great insight into what the kids are working on. I like the video camera of the classroom so you can monitor your students progress if you choose to. Sensei and Senpai are very accessible outside of class if you have questions. The weekly Dojo updates are very easy to follow. Ordering optional apparel was very easy to do as well.My Grandson is 7 but very small for his age. He loves his classes and practices without coaxing. His instructors take the time to make sure he understands the material. He never seems intimidated by the practices. He's always excited to go to karate. The staff are very supportive of his efforts. Senpai Danny is awesome with the kids!I especially appreciate that the instructors work on the respect and responsibility aspects of the discipline as well. When my Grandson was first starting he tried some karate moves on his brother. We tried to get him to stop but it wasn't 100% effective. We required my Grandson to tell Sensei what he had been doing. He was mortified so it was apparent he respected Sensei. Sensei Mark took the time to firmly explain to him why he shouldn't do that and that karate is for defense only. He told my Grandson that if he couldn't refrain from using karate, other than for defense, that he could not be in the classes. He asked my Grandson if he understood. My Grandson hasn't used his karate inappropriately since then.

Our son has been going to the Dojo since October of 2022 and we couldn't be happier. Great communication from the administration and I can only speak volumes of how wonderfully they work with and treat the children. It's been fun watching my son grow and earn new belts and above all to see his confidence grow too!

The Dojo does an amazing job creating a family like environment. Mark and all other staff are very inviting, caring, and show a true heart for what they do. Also their flexibility with scheduling adjustments makes it easy to work around my son's other activities. Our experience over the last few years has been nothing but 5 STAR!!

My son has only been attending classes for a few weeks but so far I give this place a 10 out of 10. Their customer service is great, they really care about their classes, students, and community. They have been going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and healthy during the pandemic. I can't speak to the specifics of the trade - as my only experience with Karate is from the Movies, but I'm extremely satisfied with what my son is learning!

I have been doing karate for 5 years and I have never regretted even a second of it. Unfortunately I had to leave due to college but everyone is very nice. Kids classes are set up right after school ends and the adult classes are set up at noon and at night so that virtually anyone can participate. The summer camps and holiday camps are absolute blasts to participate in. The instructors are amazing and understanding and some of the best people I have ever met. The dojo is a family that I am glad to have been part of and I would love to come back in the future. If I could, I would give this place even more stars but 5 will have to suffice.

This is a wonderful learning environment for my kids! Everything is positive and well run. The instructors want to see everyone succeed and are great with their students. My children have loved coming here for the past year and a half, and I hope to keep them enrolled for many more years. They have learned so much already. The Camps and Kids' Nights are a lot of fun as well!
