“Dan Sensei has a way to keep the kids entertained and their attention. My son talks about what he learned all week and throws more of a tantrum leaving class than he does leaving the park. Highly recommend, as I do to all parents I talk to!” - C.O.
“This is a new clean, family friendly Self Defense, Karate and Martial Arts school.  I am very impressed with the positive environment.  Looking forward to learning traditional Shotokan and practical Bunkai styles...  My son enjoyed his class today,......” - B.M.
“Awesome local business for kids and families.   I enjoyed the hip hop classes they offer in the afternoon called mixxed fit. My girlfriend and I went, had such a fun time and burned so many calories!  Our first session was free which was awesome and the owners were incredibly nice! LOVED IT.  When my kids get older I will choose this establishment for classes if they want to try karate.” - N.N.
“My daughter is heading to college in the fall. Dan, from Loco Dojo, has made this nervous mama feel better about sending her off with some superb training under her belt. She was given individualized instruction with amazing practice in skills that will empower her throughout life. Dan shows that he truly cares about each individual student and exudes a true passion for his life calling. I can't say enough and I highly recommend Loco Dojo to everyone!” - M.S.
“Dan, by far is awesome with the kids. He has quite a history as a martial artist, and has fused his knowledge of multiple styles into a modern approach to self defense. When kids are laughing and having fun, the learning curve is shorter. Dan keeps it real, keeps them engaged, and gets rapid results. Our ten year old girl loves the LOCO DOJO. I recommend it to anyone with kids. You'll see their confidence rapidly grow. On a scale of 1-10, Dan gets an 11…” - M.M.
