Clayton's Kenpo Karate

From facility’s Web site: “An appreciation for goal setting and plenty of positive reinforcement to develop a non-quitting spirit” Yelling at kids, telling them they make you want to drink alcohol, singling out kids and humiliating them in front of parents and peers, wearing controversial gear, having little to no staff (high turnover) . . .  is that the positive reinforcement being instilled at this facility that makes kids not want to quit?  No other adult instructors here for the kids (did I say high turnover?); teaching skills that academic teachers would be reported for and would lose their license- lack of patience and understanding of developmentally- appropriate teaching methods for children. Recommend visiting several times before deciding on this one. more

This martial arts dojo is where my brother studied as a younger child for nearly 4 years before earning his junior black belt. He absolutely loved this dojo, which is geared more towards the instruction of martial arts to children of all ages - but not so much adults. Mr Clayton, the man who runs most of the classes is very good with the children, combining both self discipline and fun into a great Karate learning experience. This dojo has all types of classes for all types of skill levels, but tends to run a little bit on the pricey side of the tracks. However, it is truly a good place to study. more
