“My kid is crazy about Karate Works (thanks to teachers & staff). The way they work with kids is totally different. My kid used to be in Lil Dragons . He loves it. He had so much fun as well as he learned. Now he moved to Junior. Karate Works helps him in every way.”
- Gupta Family
“The Karate Works staff is amazing! From the admins that are so friendly and helpful to the instructors that pour their hearts into every student. Karate Works makes a real effort to connect with our families and provide each student with words of encouragement to help them be their very best. “

“Going to the Adult classes are the highlight of my week. I get exercise and it totally beats any gym. It’s a positive environment with a lot of good friendships and very fun.
I’m in my 30’s and I’m doing things I never realized I could do. These classes help me feel more confident and stay in shape.”

“We've had 3 of our boys go through the Lil' Dragons course and we completely love it (2 that have moved up, and 1 still in). Mr. Greg and Mr. Holcomb are both so excellent and patient with the kids. They make the class fun and educational. I love the focus on the tenets (modesty, courtesy, self-control, perseverance, etc.) and helping our kids develop into well rounded and wonderful people. We have greatly benefited from the exercise, as well as gaining better self-awareness and control. I absolutely recommend it!”
- Cheryl Jensen
“Lil Dragons has helped my kids gain confidence and courage. They have learned the value of hard work and not giving up! The instructors are kind and relatable but firm. We couldn't be happier!”
- Pam Cole
“Karate Works has impacted our family in such a way that I don’t know if there will ever be a way to say thank you enough. Our children have gained so much from the instructors and the art of martial arts. They have gained confidence, learned humility and perseverance when challenged, been able to tap into that sense of accomplishment that only discipline can acquire, and so much more. Karate Works invests in the lives of each student and you can clearly see the sense of responsibility they take on for each child. Mr. Holcomb and Mr. Greg are not only teaching our children how to protect themselves but how to build their character in a way we, as parents, are very grateful for.
I realize there are so many studios to choose from, and we did our due diligence visiting and checking them out. But Karate Works is unique, as it has an established record of honorable instructors who grace their teaching with building great moral character. It was evident from our first intro class and here we are, 3 years in, and we are so glad we chose this studio.
- They say “you don’t GET a black belt, you BECOME a black belt” and we are thankful we’re making that journey with Karate Works.”

“Myself, son and daughter have attended Karate Works as a family since 2013. Since then, the staff and the other students we've trained with over the years have become our family. This is a studio, that not only produces high quality martial artists, but first and foremost, puts a priority on what it means to be a person of unwavering integrity inside and more importantly, outside of the Dojo in everyday life. Our journey started as white belts, looking for an alternative to physical therapy for our special needs son. After trying out several studios prior, it was immediately clear, we had landed in a place that would embrace our challenge with open arms. Mr. Holcomb and Mr. Pfitzner, both went above and beyond, breaking down and creating unconventional training methods to assure our son could understand and learn the material. Because of that dedication, a boy that wasn't supposed to be able to walk, jump or play, was quickly gaining physical strength, coordination, advancing through belt ranks and breaking boards. (yes, breaking boards!!!). Over the years, we've advanced in belt levels and gained valuable physical skills, but above all, we will always be grateful for what we've learned and gained off the mat.”

“The discipline that is taught in the Junior class at Karate Works is honestly so rewarding when you see your kids in other activities outside of Karate. How they react to winning and losing and treat others makes me proud to say my kids were taught that at Karate Works!”
- Maida Glasgow
“We had a hard time finding a martial arts studio that would teach discipline without being demeaning, but now we have. The teachers here are engaging and fun, but still teach self defense with discipline. They are understanding and actually know how to deal with kids. In my son's words 'We love it here'!"
