What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Sarah Flanagan

"I absolutely ADORE this place! The family who runs it is so special! They’re warm and inviting, incredibly knowledgeable and they make the whole space so much fun! We have loved coming here this last year, they feel like family to us! My daughters and I enjoy sitting and watching my little boy have a blast improving his skills. When the class is over I literally have to drag them all out of there because they always want to stay longer to practice on the mats and hangout with the owner’s kids, who are truly amazing individuals. You won’t find a closer knit group than this. They’re second to none and it’s a really special thing they’ve got going on. If you want a good community feel at your karate studio, instead of just a place to learn techniques, then this is definitely the place for you!"

Thomas B

"I have been coming here for almost a year now and can say I have learned a lot so far everything from Kenpo Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, weapons training, even how the human body works in relation to martial arts and I have seen an overall improvement in my own skills. A great value for the amount of knowledge being taught."

Jeremy Duncan

"I just started about 2 months ago and I'm already obsessed! The Instructors Make It Easy To Follow And Fun To Learn. Your Never Too Young Or To Old To Learn To Defend Yourself, Exercise Your Mind, and Get in Shape, If You Want To Lead A Happier, Healthier, and Stronger Life Or Just Learn To Completely Annihilate A Threatening Assailant You Need To Call Chris @ Tinsley Kenpo Karate and Fitness! 🐅🙏🐉💪"

Miranda Gravley

"My son has just gotten into this and has done absolutely amazing thanks to the hard working instructors including all the other helpful kids. It’s been such an amazing experience so far and can’t wait to see what’s ahead. I highly recommend Tinsley Kenpo Karate and Fitness to anyone."
