We can’t say enough about OSKA! We have 3 children who all practice at Old School. We have seen such positive outcomes since our kids started attending. It has built their confidence, self esteem, discipline, physical strength and endurance and so much more. Sensei Bill and Sensei Dave are wonderful with the kids. We are so happy we found them!

I have two kids (7 and 9) who attend karate here and they both love it! Both boys can be very nervous especially when starting something new, but both Sensei Bill and Sensei Dave have been amazing and made them feel comfortable since day one. They get a good workout, discipline, learn how to train and defend themselves in the proper way, and to be kind to one another. Both instructors always tell them when they do a good job and how they’re progressing, which is a huge boost for their confidence and self esteem too! They both love it!
