We've had our daughter in AS tae kwon do for a couple years now and it's awesome seeing not just her but all the kids learning not just karate but how to be better humans.
Don't hesitate if you have a kid that's acting up or even being picked on and sign them up.

We have had such a great experience with ActivStars Athletics and so grateful to have found them. My daughter started last year at age 7, we have done 3 consecutive semesters and plan on continuing for many more to come. This program has helped build her confidence, as well as keeping her healthy not just physically but mentally. The life lessons that the instructors work on with the kids are such important skills that I wish every child could hear. The classes involve the parents so we also get to learn and participate! Overall we always look forward to our weekly karate lessons. :)

This organization is great! Awesome Sensei that genuinely cares, gets the parents involved. Essential skills like self-defence and what to do if you're kidnapped. Plus very affordable!! Every kid should be doing this!!!!

Sensei Steve not only teaches the body he teaches the mind. Sure kicking and punching sounds cool to any kid. But when you incorporate life principles and habits it makes for a much better experience. I would recommend his teachings, class and ActivStars to any parent looking for an affordable and well worth activity for their child. He is also big on parents being involved which is amazing as it also gives your child the motivation as you support them on this journey. Thank you sensei Steve for not only teaching my son but inadvertently teaching this old dog a few new tricks to use on a daily basis when dealing with the outside world

Canβt say enough good things about this program. Itβs affordable, teaches you not only self defense but life skills to grow as a person. I enjoy being my 6 year old son every week and learning myself.

After two years of taking my daughter there I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT. Kids who don't follow instructions or distract other kids are ranked the same or higher than those who pay attention and are respectful.
The level is so low that any advanced student from this place would be a white belt anywhere else. Do yourself and your kid a favor and do some research before signing in here, paying a little more can make a huge difference.

ActivStars is an amazing program that our family enjoys very much!!! The classes are the perfect blend of informational, fun, and challenging. Sensei Steve is one of the best communicators we have ever come across. He explains karate, self-defense, and character qualities in a clear, age-appropriate manner without coming across as condescending.
Our green belt looks forward to class each week and is motivated to do her best on a daily basis. Thanks to ActivStars, her confidence has grown tremendously in a short period of time. All of this comes at a wonderful price!!! We will definitely recommend to everyone!

My daughter has learned how to defend herself which i think is important for anyone to know how to do. The sensei kept things fun but also corrected them when they needed to be. Overall my daughter had fun and the price of the classes was very affordable.

Such an amazing class for our little one, she is 6. She is and has learned so much! I love that they also teach self defense! It makes me feel a lot better about when I can't have my eyes on her. This class is also teaching her discipline and we can see that at home and playing with others. All around this class has been amazing for her teaching wise, self defense wise, and of course learning some awesome moves! Also for all these things they make it so affordable for parents. And the staff is so amazing, nice, and always helps with any questions or issues until t is fixed. For all these reasons I'm giving 5 stars and would give more if I could. Thank you everyone at ActivStars!!

My son has Sensei Steve as his instructor for school so he asked me if he could do this for summer. I agreed and donβt regret it one bit. Not only is he learning self defense, heβs also learning discipline and self accountability all while having a good time doing it. The class is well run and very helpful. The students are also awesome. Check it out you wonβt be disappointed.

The Activstars Athletics Karate program has been such a blessing to our family. Three of our children, ages 7 to 11, are in their third semester of attending classes with Sensei Steve. After the first semester, they got their 8-year-old cousin on board as well.
The program combines martial art skills, personal defense, situational awareness, growth mindset, and character development. Sensei Steve has created an inviting and safe space to learn and train. He is very encouraging and positive while still holding his students to high levels in their training and their character development. He involves parents in activities and in giving input as to whether the child is meeting the weekly expectations in their daily lives.
He also teaches his students very practical ways of protecting themselves such as creating a stranger safety plan and how to escape if they were trapped in a car.
We highly recommend Sensei Steve and Activstars Athletics.

I seriously cannot say enough about sensei Steve! This guy just goes out of his way for these kids. He has amazing patients and he teaches amazing life skills that kids these days really should know and understand itβs not just about karate. Itβs about survival and this program is honestly one of the best programs I have ever seen! if you have debated placing your child in a karate program, this is the program to do every single class has been amazing. My son Kyler graduated today to yellow belt and we are all very happy for him! This program is hands-down one of the best programs I have ever been a part of and I am extremely happy that my son is here! Sensei Steve is great with these kids and itβs an amazing thing to see! 5 stars across the board!

We love ActivStars Athletics Florida! My 8 year old boy and 11 year old girl live for Karate classes. They have learned amazing daily habits at home such as making their beds every single day, saying yes ma'am and yes sir, cleaning their rooms and this week they are learning to seek to understand others before needing to be understood. These are all side benefits. They are also learning valuable self-defense methods, body conditioning and a good work ethic. I could go on and on! I highly recommend this program for any kid at any level.
