Reviews for Jacksonville karate classes

Recent success stories from people in the Jacksonville area.
Winnie F.
Miles is a wonderful teacher. He's teaching my 11yr old daughter skateboarding. He is patient, kind, and really takes to the time to understand the way she learns. It's been great to see her go from shy to taking risks with each class. He is genuinely just as excited and proud as I am when he sees her master a new skill. I'm sure she'll be a skater for life because of Miles.
