What Our Clients Are Saying

5 Stars.....
"The Popes have so much patience with the children.  They keep them focused and on task.  The kids seem to walk out with more confidence after each lesson.  - DeLorice Bonnie

5 Stars.....
"When we first joined, my husband and I were not sure if karate was what we wanted our child to learn.  After attending lessons for almost 6 months now, we have discovered that our 6 year old daughter has become more aware and confident of what she is doing.  Her improved interaction with other children is like between night and day.  - Barbara
