***** The Karate University is rated 5.0 out of 5 stars, based on 262 reviews!

  • *****

    Karate University is such an amazing place! My 8 and 6yo kids have been attending for about 6 months now. They have so much fun while learning. All of the instructors especially sensei Larry are super friendly, encouraging, and inclusive. They are not only imparting the karate skills but also life lessons (discipline, respect, confidence, focus, etc.) which are going to stay with my kids forever. They customize their teaching style to meet each student's needs & strengths. The staff is wonderful & always checks on us (we love Payton!). Joining KU has been one of the best choices we have made for our family.

    My husband and oldest son came here in the early 2000s for karate. We have now since brought our son and daughter. Over the last 9 weeks. We have noticed a change in both our kids. Our son's respect and acknowledgement have blossomed. Our daughter has learned so much. And has created more confidence.

  • *****

    Karate university is awesome! My son absolutely loves the classes and the staff. The coaches are wonderful and Mr. Nuttal and his family are just amazing. They encourage these kids and know each ones individual strengths and weaknesses. They make it fun while also instilling discipline and respect.

  • *****

    Love the place, it's convenient and has everything I need for my fitness goals. Very reasonable.

  • *****

    Theyve been amazing for our son!

  • *****

    The management is unprofessional and they never do what they say they will do. Do you need a copy of your contract? We'll send it soon! Do you need a receipt? We'll give you one soon!
    And then corporate calls your phone once a day for a month telling you, you never paid a they're going to charge your card information. I say I paid, they say the school never informed them.
    Does this sound professional at all? Or like an unnecessary headache.
    I tell this to the manager at the school, who thinks everything is funny and a joke. Says he'll get to it again. And the next few days I continue getting calls saying I still haven't paid.
    Are you Kidding me?

    EDIT: They fixed it, apologized and made up for it. I'm giving it 5 stars based solely on how much fun my son has, he's 4. I truly love the classes he goes to. Great family men are how I'd describe the teachers, with a positive attitude everyday. People I definitely want my son around. I also have fun just watching him learn. Great school.

  • *****

    My child loves coming here. Mr Nuttall is wonderful with all the kids. Great place for ALL ages. I would highly recommend coming here.

  • *****

    Really an awesome environment. And it's been so helpful for my son.

  • *****

    Bob Nuttall the founder and owner of the karate university has for over 40 years trained community leaders and their families. His skill sets when working with our youth are second to none. You see a difference after their very first class. No other Karate studio gives as much as The Karate University not only to its students but to the community as whole. I and my whole family highly recommend excepting the free week offer and experience personally how The Karate University, Mr. Nuttal, and the whole staff work to make sure you get the most out of the commitment you have made to yourself.

  • *****

    Great experience for our son! Hes learning valuable life lessons and we greatly appreciate all of the patience that the instructors have for our little man!

  • *****

    I began participating in Karate classes at TKU in 2001. I have previous martial arts training and wanted to get back into it after many years of inactivity. TKU Instructors are extremely helpful and patient for anyone wishing to learn this style of American Karate. TKU is definitely the place to learn how to defend yourself and to build your self confidence and skills. Grand Master Nuttall still teaches classes from children, teens, through to adult and we always have a great time working out in his classes. Ms Hamilton, who has been teaching at TKU for many years, provides a balanced woman's perspective to martial arts training and holds us to very high standards. Guest instructors will often visit TKU and provide alternate perspectives to our style and training. Hence, the TRUE mixed martial arts (MMA) concept is realized.

    From building your self esteem, challenging cardio workouts, learning the kata (dance), to outright sparring techniques - TKU offers the student a well balanced and very validated training opportunity.

    Today, I am proud to say that I began as a white belt student, have gone through the arduous training and testing required, and have achieved my black belt. I was certified as a TKU Instructor and now teach at TKU. I am very grateful for the opportunity to show other students the excitement of this thing we call..... martial arts.

    I have 4 grandchildren enrolled at The Karate University, as well as myself. Respect, discipline and attitude are re-enforced in every class, because of this, their confidence level and self esteem is has gone through the roof. Their respectful manners have grown and are more polite than ever before. As for me, I weighed 228 lbs. when I joined, I'm at 206 now. Not much else I can say, this alone has made a difference in my life. THANK YOU MR. NUTTALL & INSTRUCTORS!

  • *****

    My kids have been coming here just a few months, and I can see a huge difference in my sons self esteem and confidence. Even my other family member have commented on how karate has made him more confident and talkative. This isn't just karate, its instilling manners and exposing them to speaking in front of others, learning to speak up, and building courage and leadership skills. I highly recommend giving the university a call and trying it out.

I have two kids taking classes, ages 7 and 5, and they are learn so much more than just a martial art. They are learning focus, public speaking, leadership, and respect. Truly a phenomenal school. Highly recommended!

  • *****

    My 10 yr son has been enrolled for just a short while and is progressing fast in all areas. His confidence, respect, discipline and determination have skyrocketed since joining, he looks forward to it, even when he knows it is a challenge sometimes, and takes it serious. He focuses in class and uses his newly learned skills in all aspects of his life, at home and when out in public. He has become noticeably more patient as well with younger siblings/children, teenage siblings and busy parents alike . He always is the first to volunteer and help others. Bob Nuttall , Mr. Galindo and Mr. Galligos have been wonderful teachers and the rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful to our whole family and we look forward to our lessons each day. We also look forward to spending years training at this facility. Thank you !

    I started karate lessons with Grand Master - Instructor Nuttall in the mid 70's on North Main; Bob has always encouraged and supported his students to go well beyond their expectations mentality and physically, all the while, learning to respect others and oneself. Bob Nuttall lives by the same principles he inspires in others.
    I recommend his training all the time and will continue to do so!

    My 10 year old grandson was suffering badly from an agressive bully at school. He was at the end of his rope when I enrolled him in the Karate University.

    Thank you.

    I began participating in Karate classes at TKU in 2001. I have previous martial arts training and wanted to get back into it after many years of inactivity. TKU Instructors are extremely helpful and patient for anyone wishing to learn this style of American Karate. TKU is definitely the place to learn how to defend yourself and to build your self confidence and skills. Grand Master Nuttall still teaches classes from children, teens, through to adult and we always have a great time working out in his classes. Ms Hamilton, who has been teaching at TKU for many years, provides a balanced woman's perspective to martial arts training and holds us to very high standards. Guest instructors will often visit TKU and provide alternate perspectives to our style and training. Hence, the TRUE mixed martial arts (MMA) concept is realized.

    From building your self esteem, challenging cardio workouts, learning the kata (dance), to outright sparring techniques - TKU offers the student a well balanced and very validated training opportunity.

    Today, I am proud to say that I began as a white belt student, have gone through the arduous training and testing required, and have achieved my black belt. I was certified as a TKU Instructor and now teach at TKU. I am very grateful for the opportunity to show other students the excitement of this thing we call..... martial arts.

    Kaden has been having so many problems at school and he had his first exceptional day today. He is so proud to be part of something and he’s very focused on using his manners and being respectful.

  • *****

    When my twins started at the University I was at my wits ends. Single with 5 year twins at age 54 is hard work. That is when their school teacher suggested I start them in some kind of after school activity, that is when I stumbled upon the TKU. The Twins will be 9 in July and have turned into little adults that focus most of the time but are still kids and make mistakes. They are green belts now and in Grand Master Bob Nuttell's intermediate class.

  • *****

    My 6 year old son attends The Karate University. I can’t say enough good things about the classes or the instructors. He has gained confidence, self esteem, and discipline. He lights up when class starts and has learned so much about karate. He’s also learned some pretty great life lessons here too.

  • *****

    Great place for kids to learn manners and life lessons while being active! Our 5 year old son loves it.

  • *****

    The instructors are very polite and patient with my son. He has difficulty with attention and staying still and he’s been having a hard time in school with discipline. These gentlemen get down on his level and talk to him calmly and teach him how he can do better and they help him with eye contact, which he has a very hard time with. They are very respectful of all the children here and they are very attentive. I am very glad we took the step to put him in this program.

  • *****

    The instructors are just absolutely amazing ! They have so much patience with the kids, they are constantly encouraging and teaching amazing qualities. Self respect and self discipline are amazing. They work with the parents who are having a hard time with the kids.

  • *****

    The instructors are super Amazing with the kids mentally and physically, they take the time to make sure the kids are learning. They stay supported of the kids and let them know it's ok to make a mistake but that they have to try their best. Bob Nuttal is amazing , I love this place.

  • *****

    My son didn’t want to do it at first, after many intents in getting him to do a sport he just didnt find one he could stick with. Brought him in for a trial class and he still wasn’t convinced but I signed him up regardless, not only for the physical part of it but for the mental part of it. It hasn’t been a full month yet and I am seeing great improvement. Now he can’t wait to go to karate and his manners and listening skills are much better!!!! It is a win win!! The staff if also great! I always feel welcomed by everyone.

  • *****

    This place is amazing! Everyone is very helpful and my son is changing even after 2 classes!

  • *****

    The Karate University is the best in the business owned operated by the same man since 1972 Mr. Bob Nuttall. The programs that are offered are above and beyond any other place I have ever seen and you will see results after just one class.

  • *****

    Excellent martial arts school.
    Good facility and knowledgeable blackbelt instructors.

  • *****

    Master Nuttall has given over 40 years to the community. His dedication is second to none coupled with having classes 7 days a week the Karate University can fit anyone's schedule.

    The Karate University is creating leaders for the future.

  • *****

    The management is unprofessional and they never do what they say they will do. Do you need a copy of your contract? We'll send it soon! Do you need a receipt? We'll give you one soon!
    And then corporate calls your phone once a day for a month telling you, you never paid a they're going to charge your card information. I say I paid, they say the school never informed them.
    Does this sound professional at all? Or like an unnecessary headache.
    I tell this to the manager at the school, who thinks everything is funny and a joke. Says he'll get to it again. And the next few days I continue getting calls saying I still haven't paid.
    Are you Kidding me?

    EDIT: They fixed it, apologized and made up for it. I'm giving it 5 stars based solely on how much fun my son has, he's 4. I truly love the classes he goes to. Great family men are how I'd describe the teachers, with a positive attitude everyday. People I definitely want my son around. I also have fun just watching him learn. Great school.

  • *****

    Bob Nuttall the founder and owner of the karate university has for over 40 years trained community leaders and their families. His skill sets when working with our youth are second to none. You see a difference after their very first class. No other Karate studio gives as much as The Karate University not only to its students but to the community as whole. I and my whole family highly recommend excepting the free week offer and experience personally how The Karate University, Mr. Nuttal, and the whole staff work to make sure you get the most out of the commitment you have made to yourself.

  • *****

    If you want your child to learn respect, self-discipline, and focus, this is the perfect place to be. The Karate University cares about your child being a successful and responsible individual. My son has been here for a week, and he loves it! I also see better behavior at home, so I definitely can’t complain.

  • *****

    The way the karate university works with kids is nothing short of a great group therapy for kiddos with lack of attention, disciplinary and self-esteem. They send the message of you are responsible for your actions and nobody else. Keep up the great work!!!!

  • *****

    Great staff and great classes! I really like how they will personally work on a problem with your child.

  • *****

    Cimmaron loves it here. ??????????????????????????

  • *****

    Some may call me biased as I have known Grandmaster Nuttall pretty much my whole life. But....the fact remains that The Karate University is amazing for kids. Yes adults learn self defense etc also....but watch one class and you can see that Grandmaster Nuttall's passion is teaching kids. And the bottom line is he gets positive results....not just during karate class but in all areas of their lives. He gets these results by showing them respect and building them up. My d...

    He was so happy to get it. GM Nuttall is great with the kids. Very satisfied

  • *****

    I couldn't ask for a better place for kids to get structure and positive guidance. Bob Nuttall and Eric Cooper are two of the finest men I have the honor of knowing and I enjoy watching them interact with kids. This karate University is by far the best place you could take your children and teach them how to become productive adults as they grow. I have watched them make some amazing changes with kids and I love the fact that these men want to help people and are not about the money.... I highly recommend this place....keep up the good work guys!!!!

  • *****

    For 4 plus decades Master Nuttall has given to the community a service that is priceless. The Karate University is and has been the top shelf studio for Respect, Self Esteem, Character Building, and living a strong healthy lifestyle. Simply thinking about something never gets it done. It takes action.

    The place, the people, the environment, are absolutely amazing! It's not just regular karate classes. Bob Nuttall and the others have helped my son so much already! It's a daily reminder for my son and myself to be the person you know you can be. My son is gaining so much confidence and learning respect. And the changes I've seen happen so fast. I'm so proud of him, and even better, he's proud of himself. It's not just showing up to class and practicing, it's a lesson on being a leader and aiming for success. And it's taught so well here. Bob Nuttall is truly the best role model, and the best teacher for my son.
