We are really happy with our experience at Manchester Karate Studio, our daughter has been attending classes for about a month now and what a difference in her behavior at home and her self confidence to do things on her own. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a good physical and behavioral change in there children to take them here.
The instructors here at the studio are AWESOME. Everyone is so knowledgeable in their craft. They can handle both of my children bouncing around in class and get them to participate and work in a team setting as well as on their own. I also take an adult class here and that is also great! Great work outs, good instruction all around. Great job guys!
My daughter has been going here for karate for 4 years. The instructors are great with kids, and they don't just let them advance without proving they know the material. The instructors are dedicated to teaching both karate and life skills.
I signed my 12-year-old son up for Manchester Karate Studio‘s trial offer a few months ago. We were not sure what to expect, but after the first meeting and one-on-one lesson, we were both hooked. I have already seen a difference in my sons confidence and attitude. Everyone has been extremely kind and helpful. I really feel like they care about my son as an individual. It’s wonderful to have that support as a parent. I highly recommend Manchester Karate Studio!
Manchester Karate Studio is amazing!!! We have friends who have been going for years who always spoke so highly of their experience and the team at MKS. We were finally able to complete a trial class and sign our two children up at the beginning of this year and the experience has been top-notch. The entire staff is wonderful, friendly, welcoming, supportive, and kind. Mr. Lyford, our children's current instructor, is absolutely amazing. His energy, encouragement, manner of teaching and explaining not only the movements and techniques but also the larger life lessons is incredible. I can't recommend this place enough. They are fantastic.
We have been looking for a great place in the Manchester area for our 4 year old son and we stumbled on Manchester karate studio. This studio has an unbelievable atmosphere. They have no shortage of amazing instructors. They have an ability to balance safety, fun, and self awareness that is uncanny.
Classes have been great for my daughter and I. The instructors are knowlegdeable and make classes fun.
Love the way the instructors make each child feel everytime they enter the studio! They are consistent and the perfect mesh of strict, fun/silly and nurturing. Way to go on building a successful environment for kids who, these days,tend to struggle with self-esteem, acceptance and respect! 👍
Ross and Colton are awesome. They have made learning Jiu Jitsu unintimidating and fun. So get out of your comfort zone and learn Jiu Jitsu from a great group of knowledgeable instructors. You won't regret it.
My husband I and signed up earlier this year and have been taking classes ever since. The instructors are absolutely phenomenal and are so welcoming. The amount of knowledge the instructors have is just mind blowing. I had never once thought I’d be learning Jiu Jitsu and actually be grasping it & enjoying it so much. Do yourself a favor and dip your toes into their offered start up classes and you’ll see what I mean.
Wow, what an amazing place to learn Gracie Jiu-jitsu. Fun, safe and friendly environment with sensational instruction.
Fun atmosphere, great place to learn valuable life skills
My son, daughter and I all train here. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive and professional.
Honestly before taking my two now 5 yr old twins here it was hard to control them without them yelling or running around like well crazy kids usually do. Now they are calmer kids who still act like kids but when given a task they can do that task with little guidance. They are doing well in school because they are used to listening and showing respect to their katate teacher and that carries over into school. We decided to sign them up for the black belt program because we knew that they liked it and showed the dedication needed to go to that program. Again 5 stars for a karate studio. They dont just teach karate like other places, they teach kids and even adults life lessons and making them better people.
I have been training kenpo for 10 years now at MKS. The staff is great and friendly and the training environment is 5/5. Highly recommend coming to train here.
Amazing karate studio. Loved it so much that my three kids, my wife, and I all take karate lessons now. The instructors are amazing and fully vested in the students’ development. Feels like a second home for my family.
