My son has had such a great time at Brave. I was so hesitant to sign him up because he is only 4 and has a difficult time holding still for a short period of time but Ms Sheri was amazing and very patient with him

My kids have attended Brave Martial Arts (formally PKSA) for 4 1/2 years now. They are about to test for Blackbelt at 10 and 12 yrs old! The instructors definitely encourage these kids (and adults) to do their best, even in the hard days. The confidence, life skills, and strength building is fantastic!!
Top recommendation π₯π₯
My kids love it here. Great people everywhere!! Builds confidence and strength. You can choose to participate in tournaments and show your skills. Everyone is just so supportive and kind!

My son, who is now 7, has been attending class at Brave since he was 4. He has learned so much over the last 3 years and has built up his confidence. The instructors at the school are incredible. It is obvious that they love teaching karate. They teach the kids discipline and respect in a caring and kid friendly manner. If youβre considering karate, I highly recommend Brave!

Cannot recommend Brave enough! We started our son back in January 2025 with the trial and he loved it so much we went all in! He has learned so much in the past 7 months and Iβm not just talking about Tang Soo Do! The instructors are all so kind, patient, engaging, fun, and just great people always there to greet you with a smile. Iβm excited to watch him continue on with his journey with the Brave Family!

Update: I can't say enough good things about Brave and the amazing instructors. Our whole family continues to attend multiple days each week, and we all love our classes and the lessons. We currently have 1 kid in the Ninja program and the rest of us are in the Core program. Looking forward to getting our black belts as a family one day!
Our family goes to Brave for martial arts and kickboxing classes, and we absolutely love it. I would highly recommend going there if you're interested in any classes they offer. All the instructors are phenomenal, classes are great for both kids and adults, and you'll get in a good workout every time!
We enjoy Brave so much that we started doing the adult kickboxing class twice a week as well. Also highly recommend that class for an awesome workout.

My daughter just started at Brave for the summer karate camp. She loves her instructors; as they are kind and helpful, while keeping in mind the 4 powers of martial arts: focus, discipline, respect, and confidence. Brave martial arts is also very accommodating to busy schedules. (Ex: if you need to take 2 months off for a school sport they will put your membership on hold and you wonβt lose your money.)
My daughter loves how they make learning martial arts fun for her age level. We could go to 5 other closer karate studios, but we drive further because we love being BRAVE!

We absolutely love Brave Martial Arts! We started in January 2025 with a trial class. Our son loved it so much, he jumped right into the little ninja program and has stuck with it! The instructors are beyond dedicated to fostering a fun, safe, positive learning environment which means the world to me. He looks forward to going to class twice a week- everything from the instructors to the lessons themselves keep him motivated. The price is extremely fair, they offer full payment options along with a payment plan that makes it affordable to all. I cannot express how much the life skills taught in the gym transfer to everyday life. So many things that he has learned (ex: saying yes maβam and yes sir as signs of respect) in class has carried over to home, church, and even play dates. Iβm excited to see the progress as he sticks with this amazing team at Brave!

We have really enjoyed being a part of Brave Martial Arts. The teachers are all great, and the flexibility of classes works well for our busy schedule. Our boys love learning the Korean words on top of the actual karate, and we like the focus on discipline and respect being applied on and off the mat.

They offer a program that allows students to train several days per week in regular in-person classes, have online instruction and videos, as well as offering private lessons if 1 on 1 instruction is needed. I have really enjoyed training with my children at PKSA and recommend it to other families who are looking to spend more time together, get in better shape, or learn martial arts / self-defense.
