Calla Karate & Jujutsu

Best karate ever sensi Mary is strict and sweet and so is ms pat I love calls karate epically sparing

Calla Karate is the BEST!!! My 6 y/o son has been a student at Calla Karate for almost a year. My son is the type of boy who can't stay still. He has a lot of energy to say the least. In the past, we've put him in soccer, basketball, swimming and scouts but nothing has held his attention the way karate has. Sure, he likes karate as a sport but mostly I attribute his interest and dedication to the fantastic instruction and experience that Calla Karate provides. Unlike many of the big name karate schools on the island the staff at Calla Karate are inviting and personable. Shihan Eddie and Sensei Mary know every child's name from day one. They make every child feel special and in doing so they have built a beautiful extended family of students. The instructors are very patient, knowledgeable, and they provide the structure, discipline, and positive reinforcement that my child requires.

Over the past year, I've watched as Calla Karate has shaped my child into a better person. Shihan Eddie and Sensei Mary even helped my son when he was being bullied in school. In addition, I've watched my son's fellow classmates flourish and have witnessed the staff work seamlessly with students who have learning disabilities. Calla Karate is truly a wonderful school.

Calla Karate also offers a kick-@$$ kickboxing class at both of their locations. I take this class and not only is it a great workout with some amazing women, but it is also very affordable.

Great program that strengthens, conditions and teaches children in a great manner. Sensi Mary is a terrific instructor and I highly refer to any parent looking for a program for their child, this is it.

Sensei Ed and Sensei Mary are 1000 percent professional...they are strict, yet compassionate with kids. They provide discipline with learning and have incredible patience. My kids are enjoying the classes and they look forward to them. They encourage the kids to respect each other - and the classes are designed to provide aerobic exercise, form, and technique.

We had the kids enrolled in another school (which I will leave unnamed) and Calla Karate has transformed my kids in only 2 months.

I began Calla Karate in June of 2014 at the age of 50 thinking that it was going to be impossible for me to get in shape at my age. I felt so lucky to have found Shihan ED and Sensei Mary, I was welcome as part of the family and the students at the Dojo became my brothers and sisters. Due to my work duties at New City Transit i'm only able to work out and practice twice a week, At first i found that i

was out of shape due to my weight 199 pounds at a height pf 5'5", Six months, and now 51 years of age my weight came down to 185 pounds and i'm feeling good. My intention this year 2015 is to work out harder in other to loose some more weight. So if you are looking to learn self defense and loose some pounds, i feel you should try it.
