My son obtained valuable lessons and support from Sensei Hicks and his crew over the last 7 years. He obtained his junior black belt and continues to attend as he eventually goes for his adult black belt. He loves being with the other students and even helping younger students. Sensei creates a wonderful community and a safe environment with strong but realistic expectations and goals for youth and adults.

From childhood to young adulthood I studied martial arts. To say it is an integral part of who I am today would be an understatement; I learned more than self-defense, I learned respect, discipline, and confidence, just to name a few things. I also made lifelong friends. Thats why I decided my son would benefit from Karate. Choosing 5 Dragons was easy once I learned about their principle beliefs and expectations. Karate is not a hobby or a pastime, its a way of life. Im thrilled to have found a school that I know is just as invested in my son/their students as my instructors were when I was a student.

Very professional and nice people there

Highly recommend. Family friendly, extremely clean

Been hear since 6th grade, and although it gets tough. In the end it was probably one of the best decisions to stay around. I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in making them selves a better person.

Sensei Marc and his family are knowledgable and passionate not only about martial arts and Kyokushin Karate, but they care about their students too. Adults and children will get lots of exercise, while learning and having fun from Sensei Marc, Sensei Joe, Sensei Josh and Sensei Logan.

I am a student in the teen class. Sensei Marc will teach you nothing worth having comes easy. This is one of the best martial arts styles in the world! As a respected Branch Chief with Kyokushin-Kan, Sensei Marc will guide you from new student to Black Belt in expert fashion. This is a legit Kyokushin school!!

I cannot say enough good things about Sensei Rick, Sensei Marc and 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy Instructors! You will learn REAL age appropriate Karate & Life-Skills that will help your child as they grow.The instructors and students are wonderful. I have observed changes in my daughter and other students over a 3 year time span and it is amazing to have personally observed the transition they have made to where they started to where they are now :) The older students that have been in the program are some of the most Accomplished, Mature and Respectful adolescents/teenagers I have ever met.Among other things, Kyokushin Karate has helped my daughter with discipline & focus in school. She wanted to make better grades in school because Sensei Mark, Sensei Rick and Sensei So always encouraged her to do her best and would acknowledge good grades and positive behavior in class. Children WANT TO be acknowledged at something they worked hard for or did.Personally, I started out taking the Burn It Fitness Kickboxing with Sensei Marc and LOVED the workout classes!Eventually I transitioned to Kyokushin Karate and saw a huge difference in myself after only 1 year. I got in great shape, enjoyed working out for the first time, started approaching challenging projects head on because you dont give up at 5 Dragons Karate, AND started my own business.I attribute all of this to the training of 5 Dragons Karate and will forever be grateful! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Kyokushin Karate and Burn It Fitness Kickboxing at 5 Dragons Martial Arts Academy for children and adults!This place is the BEST!!5 Stars

The spirit of the art is very much alive at 5 Dragons. Also, Sensei Rick and Sensei Marc work hard to accomadate families. Great school and great people.

Great karate school and wonderful staff!
