Student Testimonials

"I can’t say enough how much I love this place! My son is learning so much and he LOVES to go to class. There’s something so rewarding in watching your child learn and grow so quickly. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for my son."
Nicole Dunn
"My girls joined Promar Karate as Kinderkicks about 4 months ago. They absolutely love it! My kids love going to class. They have learned so much and love earning stripes on their belts. This is a great atmosphere for kids and families."
Lynzie Weber
Our family has been coming to Promar Karate for two years. Our oldest has a lot of energy and was having some big feelings; it's amazing how much calmer he is now. Last year we began sending our youngest to Little Dragons classes and an unexpected benefit is that they get along better at home! I’m glad we decided to try out a class.
