I've been bringing my kids to shins for almost 9 months now, and both my husband and I agree that shin's is one of the best karate studios in Valencia. After moving to the area a few years back, and being new to Valencia, we were unsure of what was out here in terms of activities and we wanted to enroll the boys in something fun that would keep them both busy and entertained. We tried endlessly to keep them committed to soccer, basketball camp, and a few other activities but nothing stuck with them. I'm not sure whether it was the coaches they had or just lack of interest, but we found shins in this area from a referral from our neighbor, and after trying it out a few times we've been here ever since. The price is a little out of our personal budget, but we agree that it is worth every penny. The facility is literally minutes from our house, so that was a plus (no driving all the way across town for practices!!!), but also my boys come home and talk non stop about shin's. They're crazy about the kicks and flips class that they have there, and unfortunately, my husband and I have been convinced to buy our kids a trampoline now. Staff is great, the classes are fun and energetic, and I will continue to have the boys attend shins.
