Kevin Sullivan's Black Belt

My son has been attending Grandmaster Sullivan’s karate school for several months now and absolutely loves it. From what I see, all of the other kids in his classes love it too.\r \r He is learning so much so quickly and is demonstrating more self-confidence and responsibility at home and at school. It has made such a difference in his ability to focus on his school assignments and homework, and he now listens very well to directions and instructions.\r \r The grandmaster runs a very structured, positive, and encouraging environment. He communicates regular with the parents about each student’s progress. He is also always willing to take the time aside to talk with me as well as the other parents about our children’s progress and to answer specific questions that we might have.\r \r When directing students he is very kind, positive, and consistent. When correcting behaviors he always refers to the specific behaviors that need to stop and redirects the students by encouraging positive behaviors and praising achievements. I always see all of his students focused and participating and learning so much!\r \r One of the many great things about this karate school is the sense of community and the variety of events offered. Grandmaster Sullivan holds regular student performances where the parents can watch what their students have learned. He also holds monthly Friday training events for the kids with games, special activities, prizes, and a movie. I stayed for one of these to check it out-they are such a fantastic, fun-filled time for the kids. For example, at the last Black Friday class event, in addition to learning several self-defense moves and working on belt training, the students also worked on their writing skills. Grandmaster read them the Dr. Suess story of the Grinch, they talked about the themes in the story, and the kids made holiday cards for their parents. It was quite an educational experience for them!\r \r I have just started the kickboxing classes. There are a range of times to choose from so that I can easily fit the classes into my schedule. I went in worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the others, however, I soon realized that everyone works towards their individual goals and encourages one another. The people that attend his kickboxing classes are so nice and I feel very at home and comfortable. The grandmaster is very enthusiastic and creates a motivating and fun environment with some serious work out routines! I leave feeling great and am already feeling stronger, more energetic, and toned.\r \r \r I can definitely see that Grandmaster Sullivan is an expert at what he does, and I feel that my son is in a great program. This karate school is a fun and exciting place to be a part of! The prices are also very reasonable and affordable compared to other schools that I have seen. This has been the best thing that I have ever done for my son, and now the kickboxing classes are a great thing that I am doing for myself. Thank you Grandmaster Sullivan! You rock!!!\r more

My husband and I are very proud parents of two children that attend Kevin Sullivan?s Black Belt School. When we first met Kevin we were so impressed with the importance he places on respect, family, country, and faith. At first we only enrolled our 5 year old son?little did we know just by watching the classes our little 2 year old would also fall in love with the program. For months our son attended class and for months we were continually impressed with Kevin?s teaching style, and the results we were getting with our son. Our son was not only learning karate moves and self defense strategies but more importantly he was learning life lessons. He was learning to respect and encourage others, he was learning to respect his elders and teachers, and the best part was that he was having a BLAST doing it. Kevin makes class a perfect blend of learning and fun. After a few months of watching my son, my 2 year old daughter who barely speaks in full sentences was found in her room reciting the full Kota that the students learned in class complete with kicks and punches. She would beg to go to Karate class with her brother and we finally enrolled her. She has also reaped all the benefits of class and has really found her strong, focused little self. We love that in order to test into a new belt category a student not only needs to be able to do Karate but must also prove that they are being a good family member, a good friend, and a good academic student. Kevin?s students will leave his instruction as well rounded, respectful, independent members of their families, schools, and ultimately society as a whole. more

I just started bringing my three children to Grandmaster Kevin Sullivans' Karate class. From the past few weeks I can already tell it was a great life enhancing decision I made for my children. I can see how it is going to help them grow into strong well rounded individuals. more

Not recommended by any means. Sullivan is great at intimidation, manipulation, and aggression. If you question anything he does, his response is anger and intimidation. My experience was negative to say the least. He should not work with children. He will criticize your parenting skills if it affects his pocket. His background should be looked into. Beware of people who try too hard to convince you how great they are. Search elsewhere and protect you children from this man. more
