Reviews
Best place ever!! I can not express how thankful I am with all the staff at Hurricane Martial Arts Center. My son loves to go there and likes to attend his classes early just to practice. Very friendly environment, loved to be part of this family! If you are looking for a place that will show respect, discipline and a fun environment this is the place!
An outstanding karate school for adults and kids! The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the classes are well-structured for all skill levels. It’s a welcoming environment that pushes you to improve while still being fun. My son & I started training there 30 years ago and I recently started back. I can honestly say that the values and discipline he learned there is something that has carried through in adulthood. If you want to learn from the best, Kevin “Hurricane” Hudson is definitely the instructor to teach you or your child.
Really warm and welcoming dojo for people of all types! Very patient and knowledgeable staff. They are dedicated to educating each and every student regardless of age and skill level. Students are praised for their accomplishments in and out of the dojo. Kyoshi and the senseis are all patient, encouraging, and motivational. Highly recommend for karate or kickboxing!
I have been a part of this dojo since March 2024. I absolutely love it. From the classes, to the people that run the place and beyond. Not only do you get to learn from people who are great instructors, including Kevin "The Hurricane" Hudson, (current 8th dan and 2 time kickboxing champ), you can tell that the folks he has running the dojo with him, are really good people as well. The atmosphere is great all around.
My son LOVES going to karate. He really enjoys it. Very family friendly and always there to answer any and all questions. 10/10 🙂
