“[update 6 years after original review] Our family has been going to Level 3 for 6 years and counting.. We absolutely love the vibe. Sensei Eric is fantastic, creating an inclusive, welcoming culture where anyone can learn, be challenged, work hard and have fun! [Update 18 months after original review] Our two sons and I (their mom) have been taking classes with Level 3 now for a year and a half and we are so happy! The senseis are wonderful and so supportive, but they challenge us in the best ways. We have been out of the dojo and doing our workouts outside safely since the summer and it's truly the best part of my week. As a mom working from home now and juggling two kids in online school at work. I encourage any adult to give it a try! it's mentally challenging as well as physically. For our boys, karate with Level 3 has been incredible. They love the senseis and enjoy the challenges that karate brings, and they are especially loving being outside now due to the pandemic. It's a safe sport right now when there are so few to choose from. [Original Review] My sons and I all started at Level 3 a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. My sons (5 & 7) had been in a different martial arts program for about a year and stopped 9 months ago due to scheduling conflicts. When they insisted are starting again, I shopped around to different programs in town to make sure we found the right fit for our family. I had a great impression of Sensei Eric and the other staff at Level 3; my experience since joining has reinforced my initial gut instinct. This is a group of people who love what they do, sincerely care about the students, are upfront and have integrity. They beautifully balance the challenge of martial arts with fun and support and foster a very positive environment. As an adult in the program, and a person who has never done martial arts in my life, I am really enjoying the quality instruction, the community feel among the group, and the great workout for my body and brain. Oh and I am enjoying kicking and punching stuff - great stress relief!”
