Reviews of Chris Pollman Karate Academy

Chris Pollman Karate Academy is a very fun place to study martial arts. I went there a few years ago and I made it to the blue belt within a year. It's very relaxing after a long school day for me, and I really loved it there, being able to learn new skills in self-defense, being able to make new friends with the same interests that I do

Good instructors teach patience, self esteem, fitness, and respect.

Many qualities the kids can use throughout life.

Great martial arts teaching. Good pace to instruction of traditional skills as well as modern kickboxing.

My whole family for a number of years attended Chris Pollman Karate Academy. My daughters both earned their Junior Black Belt while attending. My wife and I both earned our first degree Black Belt during our time there. It is a place that is devoted to proper techniques in a wide variety of areas. Sensei Pollman and Sensei Clayton both have a tremendous back ground in Martial Arts. They are family oriented but yet hold high expectations of all students from beginners to the more experienced students. The traditional parts of the GoJu-Ryu the Katas are taught. Ground fighting, weapons, mixed martial arts sparring, putting you in real world stressful situations involving people you don't know. It would be very difficult to find a Dojo that addressed so much. All of my family feels we are better off and I especially feel better knowing my wife and daughters have had to stand toe to toe with someone and defend themselves multiple times while at Chris Pollman Karate Academy. I highly recommend it to all kids as well as their parents! It truly is a life changing experience!

The instructors at Chris Pollman Karate are excellent and provide a learner friendly environment suitable to male and female students who want to learn. If you want to experience a wide base of carefully planned instruction with qualified teachers and a strong traditional element, this is the place. The instructors are friendly, sensible, informed and take an active interest in each student.

I am a 5-2 Kickboxer and a 6-2 MMA fighter. Also I have earned my 3rd degree black belt here. This is a great facility with great options and potential to grow as a fighter and person. This is a great family establishment. If they ever came across something they didn't know or had questions about they would, within a month, be off on a trip to a seminar to learn and study and bring back to the school together. Rising tide rises all ships. The Sensei has great knowledge and experience with karate and has many connections to promoters locally and across multiple states. Multiple times we trained with UFC fighters, Gracie jujitsu black belts, Machado jujitsu black belts, and a 7 time Champion American Kickboxer who trains his own champions who also help with training. All around a great place to learn and gain a new family.

This academy pushes you beyond what you expect you can do, and it has a family environment between the students and the instructors. They are not an easy academy, but it is worth the challenge. They also have equipment that anyone can train with, such as providing body pads, bags of various types, and so on.
