Awesome place for any parent who would love for their child to learn self discipline, teamwork and just have a great time. The instructors are caring and very experience in what they do.

If you want to instill confidence and a sense of self worth in your child then look no further! USK has been an absolute blessing for us and our three boys. Originally, we signed up for the two week trial but halfway into the first lesson we knew this was the place for us and signed up immediately. The level of professionalism and care put in to each class astounding; I honestly don’t know where they find the energy for the kids every day.Everyone here genuinely cares about you and your children. They make personal connections that extend beyond the class and make your children feel special. We’ve been here for four months and cannot wait to see all the positive changes and developments that come in the future.

What a wonderful program for assistance with e-learning. I have seen such a tremendous shift in my child, confidence and positive attitude. Great communication from the staff, they feel more like family really. Not to mention clean environment, masks, temperature checks, etc. I highly recommend program.

This review is 2 years in the making. My son started USK the week he turned 5. At that time, we were concerned with some aspects of his personality. He was shy, cried easily, was not assertive and more of a follower than a leader. We knew he had some self-confidence issues and it was showing through in his daily behaviors. We were new to the Coral Springs area, so I looked online and found USK, read so many positive reviews and decided to give it a try. We did the 6 week trial program to start. We thought this would be a good amount of time to see if it was a good fit for our son. At first, we couldnt get Ethan onto the mat. The instructors at USK, were patient with him knew exactly how to gain his trust, they asked for his help, and he became a helper, after they earned his trust, he started participating more and more, and every week got better. After six weeks, there was a significant improvement in Ethans behavior, and there was actually no way I wasnt signing up to be a part of the USK Family! The first belt graduation came along, and we were very excited to move past that white belt, but Ethan was still scared and cried, and ran off the floor over to me, and did not participate in the first graduation. He watched from the bleachers. Slow and steady and consistent work with the amazing, and caring instructors at USK has helped my son with his confidence. Fast forward to his graduation belt ceremony exactly TWO years later, and my son was picked as the leader of his class to lead the ceremony. He is now the senior belt level of his class, and leads the opening of the class all by himself. The amount of courage and confidence he has built from age 5 to 7 is incredible and never would have occurred without the help and assistance of the USK leadership team. My son is a better little human in a short amount of time all from his experience at USK. It is the best investment in the cultivation of his personality that we could have ever done. #bestdecisionever

Our son started his training at USK at age 4! I reluctantly gave into my husband’s suggestions and signed him up not knowing the true gift I was giving my boy.Noah has been training for almost 4 years, he Is becoming more confident at being himself. His strength and endurance is quite impressive. We found a community of leaders that love and guide our boy.You will not be disappointed! This is an amazing school with an amazing leadership team.You will feel welcomed and valued, your child will self develop and be loved. I strongly urge anyone thinking about martial arts to go in and sit down and observe. You’ll know right away that this is where your child should train.

We had our sons birthday party here last week. We choose to have our party here because it is private and the kids get to play all together the whole time. What a great time everybody had! The kids played and played. The set up was perfect and there was more than enough of room for parents and kids. I cant say enough of great things about USK Karate and their staff. I am very thankful for each of you and all you guys do.

My son has been attending USK Karate since he was 3. We were looking for an activity that would focus on his gross motor skills and help burn off some 3-year-old boy energy. USK Karate is that and so much more. As a Kindergarten teacher and mom, I couldn’t be more pleased with the way the teachers interact with all the students. Respect and discipline are taught through consistency and routine and delivered in a kind, fair manner. The classes are age-appropriate and the teachers go out of their way to make personal connections with each child. I highly recommended USK Karate!

My daughter is in 1st grade and therefore had only had one previous camp experience. The camp she previously attended was great but also had a ton of kids and teenagers as counselors which isnt a terrible thing, but still kids watching kids... I had inquired about summer camp last year after hearing so many wonderful things about USK and was so sad to hear that it was already full! Once this year rolled around I jumped on the opportunity to have a chance for my daughter to be able to experience this place. So many things about this place make it absolutely wonderful! You definitely get quality care. There isnt a thousand kids and its operated by some of the most wonderful individuals ever. Theyre all very structured, discipline, nice and most importantly trust worthy. It has such a family feel that when you walk out to go to work or wherever you dont even think twice about whether or not youre kid will be well taken care of, because you absolutely KNOW that your child is going to come home having had the best day ever! They would have learned something karate related, acquired a new skill, played a new game, made a new friend or just had a great time. I would give this place 10 stars because its not everyday you find a place that you know will take care of your kid as well as you would. I would highly recommend this place. Thank you for being so awesome! My daughter looks forward to going there and thats something you cant put a price on.

Its more then just karate kicks and blocks. Its a mind set. A discipline combining mental strength & courage with compassion. Problem solving in a team & individually. That is what drives the instructors & students at USK. USK teaches our kids and the parents who watch or who have joined all of the above & counting. They strive to understand and build each student independently and as a whole. Giving everyone a chance to be the best they can be. They have a no man left behind or forgotten motto. What an amazing quality to instill. I have always been a strong believer in the phrase Lead by example,I found that, with the leadership team at USK. Thank you to the Team Leaders & Owners who take pride in their mission to build a stronger community, MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY. My family will forever feel at home at USK KARATE.

Amazing place. My son has been attending their special needs class for a year now and the teachers are really great and caring. They make you feel like you are part of the family and have great values. I highly recommend them. As of this last month our entire family is now part of the USK family, both my husband and I really enjoy the adult classes and my 4 year old loves the Mighty Tiger class. :)

USK Karate Academy is the perfect vehicle to create for yourself and your children the best possible foundation for a happy productive life. The education offered here is second to none. The instructors are all polite personable professionals that have been and are students of the academy. The first thing you will notice is their winning humble and happy demeanor. If you apply yourself, training here will be one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. And one of the lessons you will learn is how to apply yourself but not just here, in everything you want to do. Its a win win win. My only regret is that I was not able to come here as a child. The types of lessons you will learn hear will increase your confidence and thus your ability to do the right thing both at home, at your job, at school and in your personal life. You owe it to yourself and your children to take a look here and see what Im talking about. Dont let life run you down and make sure you give your children a sound foundation for a bright future. Take control and just check out this academy!

I cant say enough good things about USK...but if you are looking for a place that the people have your childs best interest at heart... then what are you waiting for? Below is what my 12 year old had to say.My experience with USK so far has been an absolute BLAST. I have learned so many things such as control of power, humility, self-control and so much more! The instructors are understanding and compassionate but also very good at their job. It is a safe and fun environment with many obstacles you can learn to overcome. Not only do I learn life lessons, I also learn how to protect myself in situations of danger. USK is amazing!#I❤USKMark-Anthony, 12 yrs old

This is a fantastic school with amazing instructors. My son began learning karate in North Carolina a couple of years ago and we moved to south Florida almost a year ago. A big concern for us was finding a karate school that is reputable. USK Karate is the complete package! The instructors are always 100% involved in every class and you can tell that every instructor is enjoying what theyre doing. Our son loves the school and we hope he continues well into adulthood.

The staff is amazing. They really made me feel like they cared about the issues I had before signing up. During my visit I spoke with Shelby Sanders and Hans Elie I believe. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Ive also had the pleasure of seeing footage and a bit of a training class with some of the younger students. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to practice martial arts.

USK Karate Academy is the most positive martial arts experience I have ever seen for families, children, and adults. As a teacher, I appreciate all the methodology for instruction at multiple age levels. Positive reinforcement is blended seamlessly with constructive criticism to strengthen character and hone physical skills. Their involvement extends well beyond the studio walls. USK is involved in community service projects, and hosts multiple events each month for the students and their families. When searching for a martial arts experience, give USK Karate Academy a careful look before you choose to go anywhere else!

I wanted to share with you that we could not have found a better instructor or program for our Montessori School. USK Karate Academy has a great program; Mr Hans, comes to our School once a week to teach self defense and martial arts. The children love him, and they wait so anxiously for every class. He always brings his equipment to make the class more fun and attractive for the children. Mr. Hans is very engaged with the children; instilling a positive learning environment coupled with discipline and overall fun for kids, the children are also active in learning different routines and strive for improvement because they enjoy the whole program. Sweet and Smart Montessori School will definitely recommend USK Karate Academy

My son has been attending classes for just over six months. We were interested in finding an activity that balanced physical activity and discipline. What we got was much more. He is learning team work; respect for his friends and adults; and building confidence in his physical abilities - all above and beyond what we originally expected when he was enrolled. The instructors absolutely love their jobs which is transferred to the care for the kids - each child is attended to and each ones needs are meet specifically according to their personalities and even more so to their moods on any given day - they push the kids to do their best while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and friendly. I am amazed at their ability to hone in on the needs of each child, truly as if they were their own. Enrolling my son has been one of the absolute best decisions we have made for him - I love the time spent watching him continually improve in so many ways inside and outside of class.

Beware! You will love this place!We got into Karate for our little one, soon later the whole family started doing (14 yr daughter, 5 yr daughter, husband and wife).We got a little concerned about being white belts at our 40s.. but we are having fun.For example: I am a computers software engineer, and this activity is not only putting me away from my iPhone and do something away from the computer, its actually helping me putting my body and my mind into a better shape.This is a family place. You get to know nice people in a very nice environment.I can see the instructors have a nice work environment, and that translates on how they approach kids and adult students.Im sincerely writing this for the good results Im seeing on my family.

Ive trained and taught in the martial arts for over 28 years. Ive also know the owners of USK Karate for the past several years. So, I can say with some authority that this is the place to be if youre in the Coral Springs area. Top quality martial arts is the base level here. The owners and staff go above and beyond for their members to deliver an amazing experience that changes the lives of the members in the program. Well done.

My son has been a member of USK for a couple of years. In that time I have seen amazing growth in his self-confidence and physical awareness. The family-like atmosphere and genuinely caring team of instructors makes going to class a pleasure, for both participants and observers. Aside from the stellar martial arts program, USK recently instituted a new leadership curriculum that goes far above what I would expect from a karate studio. Students are prepared for todays challenges as well as the challenges of the future.

Both my wife and I are very happy to have chosen USK Karate Academy for our children! They took our concerns of our children seriously and made it their priority. We are pleased to have seen a big change for the better in our children with their confidence and self control. They offer great extra curricular activities for their students and families. My favorite, the parents night out! Most importantly they are a big family unit and definitely make us feel at home!

Perhaps one way to look at this school is to think of military schools and how they teach values that carry though to all situations in life. Without the military discipline youd find in a military school USK teaches those values in a way that all can understand. And then they make their students internalize and further understand those values by activities in class. When you add that to getting into fantastic shape and feeling that you can now defend yourself and remove many fears we all have of personal safety you then have an activity that is almost priceless. It will change your life very much for the better.

So much more than learning the skills of martial arts or an activity for your children. When you enter USK, its an experience of character building, through victories and defeats. Yes, they are challenged to do their best and be their best in school and outside of it. Tang Soo Do, is as much about attitude, as it is about precision and endurance. And the instructors are priceless! Many have trained at USK since they were kids. They love it and live it. They meet you at the level youre on and know how to encourage you without discouraging you. I had NO intention of becoming a student when I signed my kids up...but I am now! Sore, but, surely Satisfied:)) You wont be disappointed! Dare I not mention the tons of activities for the kids, spring/summer camps and every month Parents Night out. Party for the kids, Peace for the parents:))

My deciding in joining the family of USK has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. This month makes 7 months with USK, and in just that amount of time, I have seen the drive that the staff has, it is very enlightening. They have made numerous upgrades to the school and the teaching curriculum which is wonderful to see. Just as they promote, to always continue to learn and evolve, they themselves show it in the work they do teaching and upgrading the school. Everyone is so helpful and nice, and there is always some event being thrown which is wonderful! I look forward to the days I get to go in and see some of my favorite people in the world! I look forward to growing more with USK, I couldnt ask for a better place to learn martial arts, and I couldnt ask for a better group of people to spend time with.

I cant recommend USK karate enough! We did a lot of research and a lot of thinking and weighing options before we involved our kids at USK. What we get is priceless. We are not paying for karate. We are paying for discipline, teamwork, responsibility, awareness, self-evaluation, setting and accomplishing goals, learning to deal with disappointment, exceeding expectations, learning the commitment it takes to achieve greatness, art, leadership skills, and the opportunities that my children will have because they developed these attributes in a loving and structured and safe environment. Try it! You WILL LOVE it!

My husband and son have been training at USK Karate Academy for over a year now, and they both enjoy going to their training. My son, Blaine, has improved his balance and techniques so much since he started at USK. I am so proud of him that he continues to train there like a warrior does. He also learns so many important life lessons from all the instructors. My husband, David, also loves going to his training. It is helping him get back into shape, as well as learning his marital art techniques. I just love to go and watch both of them, even though they train on separate days, as it is like being home because at USK Karate Academy, everyone is family there from all the students and the instructors. Tang Soo!

I began training at USK Karate Academy in 1998, when I was six years old. My training has been an integral part of my life, and USK has taught me much more than simply self defense. My instructors have shaped me morally, emotionally, and physically and I would be lost without my training. The people that I train with are family to me, and they push me to be a better version of myself every day. The teachings I receive are always directly applicable to my every day life, and they help me to always see things in a positive light. I am forever grateful for my family at USK, and the never ending lessons that they teach me.

I really love this place. The reason I gave them 5 stars is because I am very self conscious about doing physical activities in front of people. When I came for my first class everyone, staff and other students, were very welcoming and friendly. Throughout the entire class and all the classes since then, I have not felt judged at all. It is an amazing feeling to have somewhere to go were I can just focus on getting in shape and learning to protect myself without feeling bad or awkward.

We have three boys in USK Karate Academy( 6,8,and 9 ). We have been here for years. My oldest started when he was four. Fantastic program for all of them. Its fun yet has important lessons of life intertwined throughout the course. USK has helped our family create an atmosphere of discipline, respect, and honor. Our boys have uncommon focus, motivation and determination that can be largely attributed to the caring, loving and family oriented environment that they take so much pride in being a member. Making the initial decision is the hardest part. All I can recommend is that if you are considering a martial arts school (or any other extracurricular activity), do yourself a favor, come in, meet the staff (they are absolutely fantastic), talk to some of the parents, stay for a class or two, and I bet youll be hooked! We are very proud to be a part of the USK family!

I began at USK when I was 8 years old. I was a pudgy, hesitant third grader who continuously got picked on in school because of my weight.Other students looked at me differently because of this and I was not at all socially accepted. My grades were on the decline, and I could not fulfill menial chores such as taking out the trash without complaining first. In my opinion, joining USK is probably one of the best things that has happened to me. After I began training, my family and peers began to notice a dramatic change. I unraveled as a human being, learning to express myself and stand up to those who bullied me not with fists, but with a strong heart and mind. I was no longer picked on because of my weight(because I lost it!), and my concentration skills and reverence for my loved ones reached an apex. Currently I am a Senior in High School about to graduate at the top of my class. I am involved of multiple organizations at my school, and Im in shape. Though I am no longer a student of USK, I owe this dramatic life change to the staff and individuals of USK Karate Academy for instilling powerful values and virtues that will remain with me for the rest of my life.Sending your child to USK might just be the best decision you might make for them. Becoming a student of this great school is a life experience that you will remember and treasure for the rest of your life. Dont miss out. :)

We have tried several activities with both my 6 & 8 year old daughters and nothing seemed to grab their attention. At a community event the girls took interest in the USK booth and we decided to give it a try. Now we are full members and we have gone from going twice a week to 3 times a week and this week we are going for 4! They love coming here and would go everyday if we could take them. I personally love watching them thrive and all the other students. Its very much a feel good place. So happy we found it!

When I first found USK Karate Academy in 1995 I was a shy teenager with some balance and coordination issues (due to growing consistently taller every year without pause). Over the years my coordination and balance have improved vastly and Im certainly not as shy as I used to be. In fact, Ive spent several years teaching at the school and other places, something I never would have dreamed of earlier in my life.Training at USK has many more benefits than just exercise and physical skills. There is a family atmosphere that isnt found in many places these days. I wouldnt trade my years of training and experience for anything imaginable. If you are even remotely interested in martial arts, I encourage you to check out USK Karate Academy. The instructors and staff there all have years or decades of training, and are there because they love sharing their knowledge and experience with others. Its amazing what they have helped both children and adults achieve over the years, and Im proud to be a part of such a positive influence in the lives of so many.

I was so skeptical in getting started with martial arts but, my husband convinced me to take 1 class with him and I was hooked! The instructors at USK are so supportive and encouraging. Tang soo do is truly a mind, body, and spirit type of sport. I thought having to do something after working all day would be bad for me, but in reality is has become a routine for enhancing my physical and mental strength. Its a pleasure growing in the world of martial arts alongside some of the best people I have ever met in my lifetime. It is truly a family at USK. With the help of this family, I am always improving on flexibility, accuracy, and speed along with self defense. I recommend this program for anyone who would like to invest time and energy in themselves.

We are very excited to start this new journey together and I am confident this is the right decision. The owners are incredible human beings who are very involved with each person who comes here.

Review №58

My Son started at USK with a trial about 1 year ago. I was skeptical that he was going to excel in karate because my son has Autism. He is now 8 years old and a green belt. On his first day there he fought and protested, screaming I hate you and we are not going in. As soon as he crossed the threshold he turned around and hugged my wife and told her thank you we are home. From that day forward we were home. The staff and owners have treated us like family. They intrinsically knew how to reach my son and I will forever be grateful for that. I recently started training with my son and it is something that as a father of an autistic son I never thought I would be able to do. The entire school treats my son as one of their own and I am not just talking about the staff. The students accept him and are never rude or judging. This place, these people, this community, will help develop the moral character, spirit and leadership in your children and yourself. I am a better person from meeting these people and my son is too. I hope this review convinces you to at least meet this people and give them a try. I promise you it is the best investment you can make in your family.

Review №59

My family started training at USK Karate Academy in August 2012. My wife had been referred there by friends who have an autistic child just as we do, and they told us how great the instructors are and what improvements their son is making. We enrolled our two children and what a difference it has made in both of them. Our son has developed more coordination and confidence. Weve noticed better focus and discipline in both of our kids lives. The message and the philosophy in the training reinforces making good moral decisions and respect for others. This wasnt just like joining any karate school, we had enrolled my son in a different school a couple years prior, but this was joining a family. The instructors and owners have really taken the time to get to know my family and make us feel welcome. We know that they have the best interest at heart with our children. From my experience it is very rare to find such a dedicated and oustanding staff. They inspired me to start training, and it has been one of the best decisions Ive ever made. I feel better physically, and it has helped me step out of my comfort zone and grow as a person. Plus, the bond I get to share with my kids as we train, well there is no replacement for that. I encourage you to check out USK Karate Academy. They have made a very positive impact on my familys life.

When you think about Martial arts, you think about self defense, figthing and being tough, but USK Masters amazes me the way they train our kids!!!!You dont want your 3,4,5 and 6 years old to be treated as adults just because they are learning Martial Arts. Here in USK, they are very professional and sweet with our kids! They were born to do what they do ❤🙌

My son has been a student at USK Karate for over one year. The staff is outstanding, they are concerned about their students beyond Karate. They take a genuine concern over the development of the student relating to social development, good citizenship, and behavior at home and school. If you are looking for a location to learn just Karate, this is not for you. But if you are looking to learn Karate and develop into a quality person, then this place is for you.Again Kudos to the staff, and Director David Alvas for their caring and understanding in the development of young people, they are to be commended.

My son started a few weeks ago, his dad insisted in getting him involved in something. I will say I was a bit hesitant. This class has been good for both my 4 year old and I. We both needed to work on a bit of separation. The staff is amazing and very loving. I am so pleased! Noah looks forward to each class.

As a child educator myself, I can not say enough great things about USK Karate. They provide a loving environment for students to learn and mature. The instructors are professional, encouraging and excellent with the children. Theyve set themselves far above the rest. Highly recommended. They are the best!

Ten short years ago I signed up my 4 and 7 year old sons at USK Karate for different reasons, My 7 yr old was a little clumsy and my 4 yr old had a bit of an attitude. Who knew that after watching them mature into fine young respectful boys I too would become a student. The instructors and staff at USK Karate offer much more than just Karate; they reinforce the values we try so hard as parents to instill in our children as they grow, and they encourage discipline while building courage. Even a 40 something father can make great personal strides, not to mention getting back into shape. So thank you USK, thank you for everything.

We are a USK family! All our kids love it there. And we enjoy that they treat all of us as part of their family. The theme parties are a huge hit with the kids and we as parents like that there is a safe, comfortable and educational place for our kids.

It all started 8 years ago when my son Carlos started training with USK. We were looking for a school where my son could do some physical activity and at the same time learn discipline, respect, endurance and some other values to become the good young man he is today and I honestly can say part of it it is the fruit of what he learned at USK Karate. He left the school for some time but he came back to his family and now he is working there and is training again.Last year my youngest son Tomas started also at the school and I can see he is looking to be like his big brother.Thanks USK Karate Academy

My family has been training at USK Karate for over 10 years. I have seen first hand what they can do and how they change peoples lives. The ability to connect with each student and each family is a rarity in todays world of quick fixes and bandages. USK Karate Academy is a hidden gem that my family and I are proud to have found. We love you USK!!

Even several years later, I can still see the positive influence the training had on my kids. Whats more, they see it too. This is THE best martial arts school in south Florida. So many great people and an amazing experience.

If I had to describe USK in one word, I would have to use the term, dedication. Dedication in the way they treat their students, dedication in the way they continually maintain and keep up the school so that there is almost always something that has been improved upon, and dedication in the way go above and beyond the extra mile to provide for their students. Throughout my relatively short time here at USK, Ive had the extremely great opportunity to meet some wonderful people, and for that, Im very grateful.

The change in our boys attitude and respect is a direct result of the emotional investment of Eyleen Waters. She is amazingly strong and resilient and equally caring and compassionate. This has made my boys see the world in a whole new way. The only tough decision now will be east or west. I think it will be both.

My family and I have been training at USK Karate since 1998. This training has helped me to improve my character and become more effective in many areas of life. At age 61, I am able to move with vitality, have improved concentration and enjoy a state of fitness. Our school is a community, a place to feel connected and supported as we strive to learn and grow.Tang Soo!

My son has been at USK since the age of three and it is absolutely astounding to see his growth on a month to month basis. The instructors at USK are dedicated, hard working, and genuinely caring facilitators and my son always leaves his classes, USK events, and tournaments with a smile on his face and an air of confidence that USK has helped him acquire in the last few years.

Review №79

Its been a little more than a year since Ive started at USK, and I cant believe how attached Ive become. Not only are the martial arts fun and energizing, but also rather calming and stress relieving. In between homework and, well, more homework, Tang Soo Do has added five and a half calming hours to my week where I can just unwind... and punch stuff ;-). Its not only the martial art though, not at all, its the instructors that teach it. Determination to teach and confidence that you can learn leak from their every fluid action, and training wouldnt be the same without them. All in all USK Karate Academy is fun, energizing, relaxing, and a great way to stay in shape and build confidence for people of all ages.

An excellent learning environment for martial arts students. Their Instructors are 2nd to none and they train to standard not time. They are friendly and very willing to help you out if you arent sure of a particular subject. They are hands down the best Martial Arts school I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot in my travels.

My son has been taking lessons at USK for almost a year. I initially signed him up as he was a VERY active child and USK was recommended as a great place to help with his focus, and it has worked. Attending lessons is something my son really looks forward to and he is eager to do better each time. Thank you USK!

USK Karate has helped my son gain a tremendous amount of confidence during his first year of attending. The instructors are top notch and they truly care about their students while making everyone feel like family. I continue to watch my 10 year old son develop into a well mannered, curtious, and confident young man and the instructors at USK Karate have played a large role in his development. I would strongly recommend anyone to give this place a try if they are interested in martial arts.

Review №95

I only went to a birthday party and organizers need to learn a couple of things: kids should not be picking who is going to be in their team. There is always those 3 or 2 last ones that are not be chosen until the very end. There are MANY ways to select teams randomly without making some kids feeling like they are not included. Piñata rules: you start with the b/day kid, then the smallest kids and walk your way based on height. In this party only 3 kids got to hit the piñata because it was picked randomly and the 2nd and 3rd were big kids who of course broke it. The other 15ish kids just watch! Seriously?!? Kids need more than just 15 min to eat pizza. In general, I could tell the place was trying to spend the least amount of their money in this b/day party.

They are excelent role models for the students and is great for people of all ages.
