Simkin's Martial Arts has taught classical Okinawa Goju Ryu in the area since 1998. They offer karate for ages 4-14 and adults, plus fitness kickboxing. The school is recommended for all ages, with a great schedule and a new location. Sensei Simkin is a great teacher with a big heart, and the staff and students are very welcoming. They are awesome with kids and work with students of all abilities. The team of highly experienced instructors ensures everyone is welcome and enjoys learning self-defense. They provide lots of options for different styles and methods. Highly recommended.
I was so hesitate to put my daughter in karate but she has been asking me for a while.. so glad I did. She loves it so much, I can tell she really is trying her best. The entire staff is so nice and welcoming. We never felt out of place. We will be growing with Simkins.I encourage anyone at any age to try it.

Michael is a good sensei and the adult classes here are focused on practical applications of martial arts, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm enjoying my time here as I approach the end of my 4th month going 2 days a week.
