My son is ADHD and was struggling in school. We put him in Karate to help his confidence and self-esteem. We also wanted him to work on focus and positive attitude. Randy, Patricia, and Ian have been just amazing. Now, my son is getting all A's and his attitude and focus is excellent. Sylvania Family Karate is worth checking out to see if they are the right fit for your child.
As a teacher, I appreciate meaningful lessons. Everything taught at this dojo has a loftier purpose; here, the staff makes every minute count. Whether one is trying to earn his/her black belt, learn self-defense, get in shape, build his or her confidence, or become more disciplined, there is no time squandered. The owners and teachers take their craft seriously. It is evident they have "put in the time" with their own training and pedagogy, and the result is a martial arts school that is a wonderful mix of physicality, spirituality, ideology, and education. As my high school students would say, "this is legit."
Being a part of Sylvania Family Karate has been such a positive experience! I'm learning a very valuable skill and am in better shape than ever before - all while having fun! The instructors are fantastic and the other students are a blast. I've never regretted starting up classes with them and have only ever benefitted and grown from my time here.
We love Sylvania family karate! All instructors are wonderful and so patient with the kids. Our daughter loves the classes and is learning important life skills. We would recommend Sylvania family karate to everyone!!
I always wanted to learn self-defense and karate as an adult. I was always intimidated of karate and felt too old to learn as an adult. Instructors are wonderful and will push you so you can achieve a level of excellence for yourself and you will learn how to defend yourself. Sylvania Family Karate will improve your body, strength, mind, and focus. You will learn so much and the instructors are truly wonderful! If you ever thought about learning karate as an adult stop by! New people are always starting! The atmosphere is welcoming and encouraging! Thank you SFK!
Terrific, caring instructors. All 3 of my kids attend classes here. They enjoy the classes and are encouraged to work hard. They are taught karate as well as life lessons, such as respect, perseverance, and courage Fantastic place!!
We love Sylvania Family Karate! It is a community of great kids, parents, and instructors. Our daughter has been going for a year and is always excited for her classes every week. It has helped her with focus, teamwork, coordination, and self-discipline. The instructors are very in tune with the children even noticing when they seem off. They even adjust their methods to help them if extra attention is needed. I cannot say enough about this place!
We are so happy to have become a part of the SFK family. My 7-year-old has never really gotten passionate about anything but that definitely changed once we joined. The skills and lessons learned have carried over to school and home. He has a drive to always try his best and I can't thank them enough!
Sensei Randy and the rest of the staff are just awesome with the kids. I can see a big difference in my daughter, she is so much more self-confident and focused. This place is a must for all kids.
Our whole family attends classes at SFK. It has been a positive experience for all of us and the staff is great
Sensei Randy Koptke is excellent with the children! Very patient and supportive, but pushes the kids also as needed. We've been here for over five years now and love the positive values and physical/mental skill acquisition karate develops.
My kiddos love Randy and Patricia so much! The classes are like one big happy family and I admire how they work with me as a parent in supporting self-discipline!
Sensi Randy and his team have been amazing with my son. I needed some help getting my son to focus last year before he started kindergarten and, I'm so glad I went with them. My son has ADHD along with a language disorder and, they have been extremely patient with him. My son enjoys going and, it keeps him busy. He still has some ways to go but he would not be where he is today without their help.
