Capital Karate

My son Hector attends Capital Karate, and I’ve seen such a positive change in him since joining. He’s become more focused, confident, and disciplined,both in and out of class. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about helping each student grow. It’s been amazing to watch his progress and see how much he enjoys going every week. I’m so grateful for the impact Capital Karate has had on him!

My son loves attending classes at Capital Karate. We plan to enroll our youngest when he is old enough to join!

My son started his training at 4 and it has definitely shaped his life. He's not only taught karate weekly but has learned life lessons throughout his journey of responsibility, accountability and patience. 4 years later he's still an active student and learning from the great teachers and students around him.

My son DJ(16) has been part of the Capital Karate Family for 11yrs now. We started off like many parents looking for somewhere to get out some energy for our little one. Somewhere to learn discipline and build some confidence. We also were looking for a safe space for him as he has special medical needs. He is a Type 1 Diabetic and when his blood sugar is low he needs to sit out and Capital Karate has been so supportive in his journey and getting to know what he needs. I watched over the years as he started he was like a wiggly little worm and now you can see the strength he has gained. His little wobbly kicks are now strong intentional kicks. He has had to learn patience, especially during covid and his black belt testing was pushed back. He was ready for it and had to step back and get himself back into wanting it and he did. He learned what hard work was when training for his first degree black belt and then again when he started training for his second degree black belt. He had to learn to set goals and achieve them. His next goal is his third degree black belt and also one day be an instructor himself. His confidence has grown and is something they are always helping him build. He is part of their Ally program and I have watched DJ and others stand up in front of the class and lead. It isn’t as easy as one would think and these kids are receiving amazing training and support. He is learning work ethic via the Ally program, helping with movie nights, birthdays and summer camps. He has to remember all those kids' names which he is constantly working on, all the forms, to be able to instruct and observe what students are doing and if they need help, and so much more. He has learned discipline, compassion for others, has gained friendships, found mentors and has become a mentor. Everything he has learned and continues to learn he also has applied to outside the studio. He is a great young man. He is helpful around the house, he holds doors open, would give his shirt off his back to a stranger. His teachers always have glowing reviews for him. He is an honor roll student and works really hard and has goal set. I have watched him grow on and off the mat. I am thankful to Capital Karate as they have always supported DJ in everything he does and encourage him to be his best.

Capital Karate has been absolutely phenomenal. My son has taken after school classes and then decided to go full time. His confidence has increased as has his skills. I absolutely love to watch my son improve with each class. Thank you, Capital Karate and all your leaders, for all you do and continue to do.
