Amazing staff with decades of experience teaching fun and engaging lessons. My son can't wait for his next class. Could not ask for a better experience. Update 6/2022: I've started taking classes myself recently, and my daughter started late last year. Still the same excellent instruction for talented and passionate staff, and in just a couple months I find myself with more strength and stamina than I thought possible for someone at my age and level of fitness. I fully expect to be with Gabriele's for the foreseeable future.
Gabriels Karate has allowed my daughter to grow in discipline and confidence. The instructors are very supportive and positive. There is a family environment which my wife and I like. I myself joined kickboxing which help me get more conditioned. I enjoy kickboxing in the same manner my daughter enjoys it. It helps me push myself with positive staff encouraging me to keep moving. Kickboxing gives me a variety of work out and it is not monotonous gym routines. I highly recommend Gabriel’s Karate for young and old.
Wonderful facility. Talented and skilled instructors. My 10 year old has been enrolled for almost 7 years and loves it. I highly recommend especially for kids because in addition to technical skills, the instructors also encourage good behavior and character by focusing on teamwork and respect. We look forward to a long relationship with the Gabriel Martial Arts family.
The instructors are awesome. They really help the kids learn everything they need to know. My granddaughter absolutely loves attending the classes and learning new things. The classes also teach kids respect. She enjoys making new friends . Terrific job to all the instructors.!!!@
Been a proud member of the Gabriele's Martial Arts family (and it really is a family) for several years now and it's helped me so much! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and positive and are great at working with all skill levels and ages. When I started I legit barely knew how to throw a punch (let alone a roundhouse or tornado kick) and thanks to the expert teaching of Renshi Tim, Kyoshi Olinda, Kyoshi Sal and Renshi Jason I've gained a confidence and self-belief I wouldn't have thought possible before. Not to mention getting in the best shape of my life! And not only the teachers but also the students are such positive, inspiring people whose influence and comradery have helped me grow a lot as a person the last few years. The Gabrieles are a wonderful family I feel really lucky to have met, definitely check out this awesome dojo!
