"My son had been asking to try out karate for several years and when we finally decided to let him have a go, we remembered Steve from a brief encounter years ago and decided that we'd get in touch about classes. Best decision we could've made! He is wonderful with the kids, a true Sensei who is focused on the journey not the competition. We've see huge changes in our 10 year old son who in just a few months is more confident, relaxed and focused. Our daughter was originally along for the ride, following big brother, but now loves Karate and is making strides as well. I've noticed more teamwork and less bickering. Both kids are excited to go to class each week! I would absolutely recommend Kaizen Shotokan to anyone looking for a Dojo. It's a small school with great instruction and the perfect environment to gain confidence and skills while having a great time!!"

The instructor really cares about his students. Money is obviously not the driving force behind this dojo.
"My son has been training with Sensei Harvey for 3 years. It has been an incredible experience. We tried some of the big karate factories in town, but lived the personal touch at Kaizen. No contracts, no long term commitments and best of all, you have to earn your belt. This is not a pay for belt class. Sensei Harvey will not give you a new color belt because you paid for another 6 months. You have to have the skills. "
