I have been with Master Talamantez for 13 years. I have enjoyed working with Master T and have fun in every class. Each day I look forward to the Karate classes as well as Shuri class. He has a unique way of teaching all ages. He teaches respect, goal setting, and discipline. Master Talamantez has a wealth of knowledge in the martial arts, and I highly recommend Talamantez Karate. His Dojo is like one big family and I treasure the time I am able to train with him. I had the pleasure of participating in the ceremony to award our 2 newest members their first belts. It was a joy to see them having

My son has multiple disabilities that keeps him from playing team sports. We researched martial arts to find him a good outlet for fun and physical exercise and discovered Talamantez Karate. I was very pleased to see how well they treated my son even though he was "different" than the average child. Their focus on self-confidence and leadership was a bonus that I hadn't expected, but love about this school. They give the children "homework" which is just simple exercises to do at home to continue to build up strength. Anyone who has done a physical skill like this knows that forming such good life

My son has recently started classes here and he loves it. That alone makes it worth the money. I appreciate that the instructors also work on life skills and character qualities including respect, responsibility, and self control. I also appreciate that they are upfront about no outside tournaments. I know some people prefer the competition, but this arrangement suits my son's temperament and our family priorities at this time.

What started out as self defense training for myself and 17 year old daughter is now four of my family members going to Talamantez Karate for self defense, karate and black belt club. We really like the instructors and the family and encouraging but challenging environment. It is a great place to learn self defense, karate forms and have some fun. It's a workout but the result is losing weight and get all the health benefits of focused exercise. I've lost 30 pounds! Doesn't matter your age or ability or fitness level, everyone is welcome. I didn't know anything about self defense or karate before

We stopped in to see what this karate place was like and signed my son up. He absolutely LOVES coming to karate every week. There are 3 classes a week (if you want to attend all 3) and since we are in the black belt club, the classes last almost an hour (with 30 minutes on Saturday). They work HARD. My son has already gotten stronger, both mentally and physically. He practices at home just because he wants to. This is a great program - we can tell the instructors really care about the kids.
