My son has attended classes here for 2 years. I remain impressed by the curriculum, the cleanliness of the studio, the quality of the instruction, and the family atmosphere they offer. My son has moved up the ranks gradually (very slowly!), but it has helped him develop character and patience and continues to help him define and polish his commitment to the sport. One thing I appreciate the most is the level of integrity that is displayed and modeled for the students (not just in martial arts, but in life situations). It has been a positive experience for us, and we will continue to be a part of this dojo.
Authentic Japanese way of leading youngsters to the productive part of the community. Even though this style of jujitsu is developed by Japanese judo experts in Hawaii I would consider the style authentic Japanese.
This review is long overdue. If I could give 10 stars I would. My daughter started here in January. She has never been very athletic or even really motivated to do anything physical. She is a girly girl to the fullest. Since attending KSK she's so much more confident and disciplined. She gives everything she does 110% effort now. She just wants to be the best at everything and works on her Jujitsu techniques at home because she loves it so much. Sensei does an amazing job at teaching the kids everything they need to know while ensuring all of the students are safe and no one feels uncomfortable or out of place. If your contemplating coming to KSK you won't be disappointed!
I can't say enough about Sensei Greg and the staff at KSK. Jujitsu has been such a great experience for my boys. It gives them a controlled environment to release that "boy energy", they learn discipline and respect, it builds self confidence, they learn self defense/anti bullying tricks and best of all they have fun. Sensei demands respect without being a heavy handed task master. He makes working out fun. And most importantly I think he really likes the kids in his program. As a parent you really can't ask for more. Seeing the successes my kids have had through jujitsu has really been rewarding. There are a lot of McDojos out there. KSK is not that, it is an "old school" dojo teaching the finest aspects of martial arts. I would not take my boys anywhere else.
Great school. Good instruction, has a good feel to it. Only have been going for a short time but very happy with this dojo so far.
I'm 44 yrs old and I've been taking classes at KSK. I wanted to wait a year before I wrote this review. I've done martial arts off and on for many years now, Wing Chun and Escrima, and I can honestly say this dojo is a great place to learn. Sensei Greg and the staff teach not only a traditional martial art but also its practical usage. Promotions are based on actual student knowledge and performance and every effort is made to make sure you are ready. The emphasis here is respect, technique, confidence, and camaraderie. I'm glad I found this place, this style of martial art and this team. Now I have my son going here and enjoy watching him flourish.
Great place to grow within a caring environment and friendship.
The dojo has been a major part of my life for almost 10 years. Every class brings new things and renews my passion for martial arts. I look forward to training every day.
My sons are 11 and 14 and they look forward to each jujitsu class at KSK dojo so much. It is one of the best things I have done for my kids. For their health, confidence and happiness.
