Great Karate Studio! My 5 year old loves it, and the instructors reinforce good values and a positive mental outlook. Very Happy with the instruction my child is receiving!
Kurt and the team are amazing! Definitely check them out!
Scandalous ThievesI paid in full not weekly and my son broke his arm and missed 11 weeks of his classes. Im a single parent and I directly afterwards had to have major surgery which is 8 months of recovery time. They wont refund over $300 due to this unfortunate unforeseen events and told me I should be happy to know that he can come back and complete these classes at anytime because our money will be on his account forever and there is no way to refund it. They stole from us. Its not like after a year his uniform will fit which would be more money they would take from us, Or that he may even still be interested. Its not like I paid weekly and he just missed classes. This was all out of our control and the complete heartless treatment we received is completely discouraging to even put my children into anything like this again because life happens and you just wouldnt expect to be out of almost $400 on top of all the trauma our family has already endured. They are scandalous Thieves keeping our money on an account that will never be used again. Unprofessional. Ive never been cheated out of so much money before. Dont send your child here. If you by chance have circumstances happen like my family did they will just keep your money and not give a damn about your family at all.
Not a ton to say specifically, theyre a really great karate studio and a great group of people. If you have any inkling of wanting to do martial arts then I strongly recommend going here. Enthusiastic, supportive, and a lot more practical for the average person learning martial arts then most of these places tend to be. Something I really valued.Only Con in my mind is know ahead of time its like most martial arts places, their business model can be a bit pricey Id say, but theyre at worst industry standard in that regards. Id say they come in quite a bit on the cheaper side, but at worst theyre standard. Youll get that anywhere though in the martial arts world.
My son enrolled in the program less than a year ago. He has made great progress in the areas that we wanted to focus on: respect, taking direction, and focus. In addition to being a great outlet for physical fitness, he is learning lessons that he will carry with him the rest of his life. The instructors work with the parents on the goals that we set, and then work the plan to achieve these goals. Our family is very happy with our decision to enroll in the program.Kristine Heveran
Both of my children have been enrolled here for almost one year. The staff is amazing with all of the students. They really care about the whole child, not only their skills in karate, but also their emotional development. We love watching our kids grow in skill and self confidence. I recommend Black Belt Karate Studio 100% for any child, any age.
My grandson has been going to Black Belt Karate Studio since February and I have seen a change in him. He has more confidence in himself and that I like to see. He wants to go to classes everyday if he could. As a grandmother all I want to say is keep up the good work to all his teachers .
My son has been enrolled for almost a year and he loves it. Even his teachers have made comments that his self confidence has gone up. He also had his birthday party there and every child that came had a blast and they were so helpful with everything. The instructors are amazing as well!!!!
Great instructors, great atmosphere to encourage and inspire students of all ages! My daughter has been a student for 9 years and has continues to be motivated by the high energy instructors and challenging skills. She has learned that hard work pays off and the value and sense of accomplishment from truly earning the next belt!
Great, great great place!! The instructors are amazing and wonderful with my daughter as well as the other students. Fun atmosphere. My daughter has learned so much and has gained some self confidence thanks to them!!! Everyone and anyone should sign up for classes!!
Good place to have your bank account tapped out and they are great at teaching your children that if you pay the money, you can get the next belt. Just the standard pay to play martial arts school. Dont let them fool you into thinking that you will learn true martial arts ideals. Once you sign the contract they will tell you how they have no control over what happens. Shysters is what they use to be called. Very sad that they are allowed to run a school the way they do. I guess that is what you get when you hire MAIA to mentor you. Cookie cutter karate in a box. Do your research and save your kid from gym class in a gi. Very sad
My experience has been wonderful from the first day Ive had my sons evaluation. The whole staff is wonderful. The kids are always a priority. My son has gained a great deal of self confidence and respect for others. I highly recommend BBKS.
Our daughter has been attending since 2012 and has come such a long way in discipline, technique, socially and much more. The owner and instructors give the one on one attention when needed and they are masters at what they do. I highly recommend Black Belt Karate Studios for the entire family. We are looking forward to our daughter reaching multiple black belts as she grows. Thank you to all at Black Belt Karate Studio.
I LOVE my karate studio! the classes are fun, physical & a good way to get frustration out. I was getting bullied & my mom put me in classes a year ago. Ive since been nominated to the Elite team & LOVE it! I get to learn how to use weapons properly as well as defend myself.Thank you Black Belt Karate Studio.
Love the instructors, my daughter loves her karate class
The staff keep the classes professional and yet fun regardless of age. Our kids have grown in confidence, self esteem all while learning great self defense moves for life. Weve been members for 3 years, highly recommend this studio!
All 3 of our girls are attending and have really excelled in their abilities and are gaining a great amount of self confidence through the awesome training they receive from the instructors. Great school and I would recommend them to anyone interested in the art.
Black Belt Karate Studio is an excellent school for learning martial arts and the culture of martial arts. The instructors, in addition to being very knowledgeable, use humor and patience to bestow both life saving self defense skills and traditional martial arts forms to their students. An excellent school for gaining confidence, martial arts training and weapons training.
Black Belt Karate Studio is a huge asset to the Racine community. In addition to having an extremely talented head instructor, the senseis regularly teach an anti-bullying curriculum at local schools. The owners also hold special fund-raisers for important causes like finding a cure for breast cancer. On top of all of this, my children and I have received an excellent education in martial arts.
This is my sons first year in karate and he loves it... Happy he has found an interest other than video games, lol. And being an only child it gives him something exciting to look forward to. Thanks again...
My son has been going to Black Belt since February and absolutely LOVES it. He is doing amazingly well and the teachers and staff there are outstanding. My son has taken to one of the high school helpers there and the helper goes out of his way, above and beyond, with my son. I cant say enough good things about Black Belt Karate Studio!
My five year old son has been a member for two weeks now and we love it. The instructors teach at his level and are so professional. I wasnt sure what to expect but I am truly amazed at how the program is run and what is taught. Im glad we made the decision to sign him up.
I am a relatively new student here and Im so glad I decided to take classes here. I have always wanted to take martial arts and Im finally doing it. The teachers are very interactive and very supportive. My fellow classmates are also supportive. Arigato, Black Belt Karate Studio!
I love this karate studio. Everyone is friendly and passionate. My niece has been in the little dragons class for about 4 months and smiles and has a ton of fun every class.
My 9 year old loves the classes.
We love Black Belt Karate Studio! Our daughter has become confident, made amazing friends and enjoys the class and instructors. Wouldnt go any where else!
We are so excited to be a part of the Black Belt family!! My grandson Isaiah is already more confident and absolutely LOVES his classes!! This is the best investment we have made so far!!
This is a great school for both kids and adults. The senseis relate really well with kids and can teach with out being intimidating. For the adults they create an inclusive atmosphere so you are always learning regardless of your skill level.
Thieves money hungry rude take money out your account over vacation when there are know classes won’t give money back or let u go for 2 weeks free since I already paid so I got ripped off paid for 3 weeks worth of classes & my child only went once i cancelled they wouldn’t let my child finish his last day but they made sure they took there money #scam #artist
Excellent staff dedicated to the development of their students, not just in martial arts but life as well. The instructors teach students the rewards of hard work and discipline on the path to achieving goals in a fun, friendly and open environment. Our kids have learned first hand how to focus and persevere when learning something new which has carried over to their studies in school and music providing the foundation to excel.Kudos to Sensei Alan and the staff at Black Belt Karate Studio.
My son enjoys going to his karate class every week. Very well trained instructors. He has shown quite an improvement in self defense and discipline.
We moved away and they fought with us for months about a refund on the whole year we paid in advance!! great program, good people, lousy corporate policies. Do Not pay for a year in full! Just do month to month.
Its a great place that gives my boys structure and focus. Also the instructors are a great group of people that bring joy into our lives!
My daughter has been going to classes at BBKS for five years and still looks forward to coming to class each day. The instructors are highly motivated and make each class fun and beneficial. I have been taking their Cage Fitness class for almost four years and am still seeing continuous results in my physical fitness. We absolutely love it at BBKS!
I have been here since 2009. It has been so much fun and I have made so many new friends. I was shy and didnt want to be in front of people it made me be more confident and not be afraid to be in front of large groups.
Love sending my son there, the senseis are very patient with the younger children and always help to engage and reengage your children. The kids seem to love it there and are always smiling and having fun. The classes are well organized and they always seem to maintain the attention of the children. They also have a good ability of sensing when someone may need more one on one attention and help with that (and they have the ability to because in the younger classes they seem to have at least 3 ppl on the floor), which I was most concerned about.
We LOVE BBKS!!! The instructors are amazing! My husband, daughter and I all take classes there and could not be happier. I would highly recommend BBKS to anyone looking for martial arts training.
Suggested sending a child to learn.Suggestion taken.Few years pass.Lil Badass Created.Would suggest again. :)
Since my son has been participating in martial arts at Black Belt Karate Studio, I have noticed positive changes in his ability to focus, sportsmanship, enthusiasm and self-discipline. The Sensei are firm but caring and lead by example. Thank you BBKS!!
The instructors really focus on helping the kids, and challenge them to get better. They get real self defense skills, and also the focus and training of katas. The sensei(s) make it a point that everyone gets personal attention, and everyone tries their hardest.Weve been really happy with our experience here.
I love the enthusiasm the instructors have with their students. They show that karate is not just fighting but is to be used in self defense. Also Mr. Thompson ROCKS!!!
Our entire family takes classes and we love it! The kids love the teachers and cant wait for classes.
Its a great experience. Our daughter has a great time and plans to achieve her black belt.
Awesome place very good with the kids. And very nice staff they know there stuff. I would recommend it to anyone. I was thinking on doing it or for the kick boxing lol too get into shap
Positive reinforcement is key here. The senseis are nice and understanding. My child enjoys it a lot.

I am a 65 year old senior citizen that got involved in BBKS when I went with my 6 year old grandson to the Fathers Day event last year. I have been a member for a little over a year the instructors have been helpful, instructive and understanding, they always are there to help you if you dont understand what you are working on and they stay after if you need extra help or if you would like to record the kata you are working on
My two sons and my self attend here. Its a great place to bring family together and to develop mentally and physically.
Great instructors, I have learned a lot since I joined and even got my brother and grandpa to join I would highly recommend this place to anyone
My daughter takes lessons and loves them! The instructors take time to teach the correct techniques and are very friendly!
