We’re so happy Kobayashi opened up in our community. It’s a clean, organized, and welcoming studio. The owners(sensei summer, & Manie) are always there teaching and nurturing the students, which is not always the case for most studios. My son’s confidence, self-esteem, and skills grow with each class, and he never says he doesn’t want to go:) Also, I’m super happy they’ve added jiu-jitsu to the classes!

So glad I found this place! My daughter has been wanting to try karaoke for a while and so far having a great experience with it. Sensei Summer is always warm and encouraging. Everyone goes above and beyond. Love the location and clean dojo. Best part is seeing my daughter’s confidence grow!!

This is one of the best studios we have ever experienced! The Sensei’s make the space so kid friendly with their experience. Our son continues to thrive in their classes. I have recommended this to all my friends and will continue to do so.

I can’t say enough great things about this martial arts school! From the moment we walked in, Summer, the owner, and her husband made us feel so welcome. They run this small business with passion, care, and dedication, and it really shows in every class.
The instructors are skilled, patient, and fantastic with students of all levels. They focus not only on martial arts techniques but also on building discipline, respect, and confidence. My child has grown so much since joining, both physically and mentally, and it’s been amazing to see their progress.
This is more than just a martial arts school—it’s a warm, supportive community. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your personal growth, fitness, and well-being, this is it.
Supporting small businesses like Summer’s makes a real difference, so if you’re thinking about martial arts for yourself or your kids, give them a try—and be sure to tell your friends! Highly recommended!
Absolutely! We encourage parents to watch their children's progress and be a part of their martial arts journey. Your support and encouragement play a vital role in your child's development, and we welcome you to observe classes and witness their growth firsthand.

For your first martial arts lesson, we recommend wearing comfortable workout attire, such as a t-shirt and athletic pants. You do not need sneakers for class, as we typically train barefoot to promote balance and proper technique. It's also essential to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the class. If you have any specific requirements or questions, feel free to reach out to our team, and we will be happy to assist you.
Not at all! Our martial arts classes are designed to help individuals of all skill levels improve their coordination, balance, and physical fitness.
