My son who recently turned 5 years old, attended his first ever school birthday party here, in which he was yelled at with such mean demeanor and grabbed by the shirt and arm by Mr. Herman, owner and teacher of this establishment, during the party. My son has a lot of energy and is learning how to follow directions but that was no excuse for what he experienced at this party. He was told to sit in time out TWICE, and that if he didn’t listen he would be “thrashed” and when he grabbed my son by the arm to put him in time out again my son yelled, “ow” in which Mr. Herman replied “that’s not ow you will know when it’s ow.” That was the last straw and we left the party early causing my son to cry. Blame my child and even blame me as a new father for his behavior, I don’t care but I wouldn’t send your child here if they are not into this type of activity.

We were so incredibly fortunate to have a friend recommend New Generation Karate! Starting karate here has been a game changer for our 8 year old son! Kyoshi Herman is a passionate instructor who takes the time to know every student individually and inspires them with his genuine care and love of teaching. We tried other karate studios where there was a stark contrast in the quality of attending to each students strengths and weaknesses, both physically and emotionally. Couldn't be more grateful to have become a member of this family!

My 6 year old son LOVES Kyoshi Herman, the Herman family and all the instructors. He would totally move into the Dojo if allowed. He is not only learning how to protect himself, he is learning so many different life lessons. Learning to respect himself and others,

We love New Generation Karate! Kyoshi Herman is so great with the kids. My kids (ages 6 and 4) are not only learning techniques and coordination, they are learning important qualities that are essential in life such never giving up, respect and patience. We 100% recommend this dojo to anyone who is considering joining.

My son Michael will be beginning his 4th year at NGK this fall. The best decision I made was to walk in and ask for information. Kyoshi Herman took time to speak with both he and I, explain the program and its expectations. Since , I have watched as his skills have developed, and his focus and confidence has improved. In a society that is very used to seeing instant results, NGK teaches it's students to train hard for their belt promotions and not just promote students based on age and attendance, but skill level first and foremost. Kyoshi Herman is fun, energetic, but still very much commands discipline and respect from his students and his staff and excellent as well.

Greatest dojo hands down. Instructors are top notch, first class. Great training for kids and adults. You may come in feeling unsure, but after one class, you leave feeling like family with brothers and sisters.

I cannot say enough good things about Kyoshi Herman and everyone at New Generation Karate. My little one has some struggles, but every single person there made my child feel comfortable, welcome and tried to help overcome the obstacles. There should be more safe spaces in the world like this one. Thank you for all that you do!

This dojo, Kyoshi Herman and all of the staff are incredible. At first my son started at age 5, after his dad died suddenly. It was naturally very upsetting and he had a lot of emotions to deal with, especially at that young age, which is difficult. Kyoshi Herman was so kind to him and still is. He helps him get through those humps with his emotion and teaches him to channel them in a positive, productive way. Now my 5 year old twin daughters attend as well. They love it. They come home proud of their belts and about all of the moves they learn. They also learn great lessons like help mom around the house and don't wait until you're asked. Invaluable! They also have camps for days off and fun events like Nerf Wars and movie nights. Don't skip this place!

I never write reviews but this dojo is truly the best karate school and I can't recommend it highly enough! My son has been attending classes here for the last 1.5 years, his confidence and skill level has improved tremendously.Koyshi is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, patient, and he takes the time to personalize his instruction to each student's individual needs and goals. All the instructors really go above and beyond to engage all levels of students in classes.Overall, if you are looking to learn karate, improve your physical fitness, or develop your self-defense skills, I highly recommend this karate school. It is a fantastic place to learn, grow, and I consider this dojo the best of the best!

My son is autistic and has special needs. He is used to being treated “differently” at school with a one to one aide and in other areas of his life. But at the DOJO, he is treated the same as every other child. Every child who practices at the dojo are taught acceptance and understanding. Every child at the dojo helps teach my son not just karate, but basic human interactions. Kyoshi Herman is so patient that he shows my son combinations and skills over and over again until he finally understands, without getting frustrated or annoyed. Kyoshi has such a fun way of learning skills that the children respond positively. He not only teaches the skill necessary to promote levels of belts, but every day skills needed in this world today such as active shooter drills. The dojo has nerf wars days and movie nights where the children are not just associates in the dojo, but friends, even brothers and sisters. If you are looking for a place to train and learn karate for you or your children, this is the place!!
