Testimonials
My son has been attending Vanbelle's academy for over 2 months. We signed him up for the year because he enjoys it so much!
My son learns so much each time he goes. He learns to work with others, take ownership of his learning not just in karate class but at school and home. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. There are several students in the class and the instructors take their time to work with each one of them when they're struggling or learning a new move/ strategy. Students also get awarded for their behavior at school and at tasks/ behavior at home.
I look forward to seeing my sons continued growth and dedication in this class. I am so glad I signed him up.

This is a family owned business. The mother and son duo are very personable and experienced in various children's personalities. My kiddo that I nanny goes here and they are very nice to her even on days when she's really upset. She is deaf and master Vanbell lets her teach the class she's in how to sign their opening and closing pledge. You won't find a place better. They are very dedicated to their students.

This is a high-quality facility designed to teach Karate, self-control, and discipline to all ages. Mr. Vanbelle has a well-designed curriculum that encourages control, focus, and excellence.
Initially, we were having trouble with our little guy - only 5 - who started Kindergarten and was having issues with self-control. We started the "Tigers Program," and within a month of lessons, he was staying out of trouble able to control his impulsive nature.
Mom and I credit VanBelle's ATA with helping our guy get some energy out, find his focus, and channel all of that towards something positive. Each month they work a theme, such as goals or respect. It becomes a chant at the opening of each class. This reinforces those ideals you want your child to acquire!
He has added the weapons class, and can't wait to try the sparring classes. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed!

My son has been going here for almost a year. The instructors are great and make all the kids feel important. The classes can get large at times but even then they work with each kid to improve their forms. I love VanBelles and my son has learned so much from them.
