Real Karate Success Stories from Orem, Utah

We have been taking karate as a family from Miki since 2010, he is absolutely amazing!!!! He has taught the 5 of us so many valuable life skills. Confidence, respect, discipline, patience and how to have fun as a family. We are so grateful and highly recommend Life Skills karate to all!!!

I have been so impressed with Miki and how he runs his dojo. He’s extremely kind, patient and thoughtful. Making every kid feel important, wanted and seen. When he is helping them learn a new skill, he gently corrects and helps the kids adjust to do it properly. Miki works hard to make sure every student knows how to work hard and have fun. Each lesson has a life skill/word of the week that he teaches them about. Those little lessons have impacted my kids so much. We love this place and I’m so so glad we put our kids in here.

We love this place! Miki is so great with kids and a really great teacher. They learn some sort of life lesson in each class and they are always applicable and well taught. Highly recommend!

My son has been going here for just over a month now. Miki is an amazing teacher. He teaches self defense techniques and also teaches the kids important life skills. My son looks forward to going every time. My daughter would watch my son at his classes and decided she really wanted to do the program too. Miki is encouraging to all the kids and points out things they are doing well and helps with things they struggle with. Both of my kids really take to heart everything Miki teaches them. I would recommend this to everyone. Very glad we found this studio.

We went in for a privet introduction class to see if this would be a good fit for my son and it is exactly what we were looking for. He teaches the karate skills my son wanted but is also teaching life skills such as respect, problem solving, and how to work through tasks that might be hard. We will definitely be signing up!

I love Life Skills karate. I was very hesitant when I first joined because I’m not in the best of shape and was afraid of being embarrassed. Miki is so encouraging and supportive and I am so proud of how far I’ve come with just a month of karate so far. I highly recommend his classes.

Such an amazing place for kids and adults to learn self defense and emotional well-being. Owner Miki is amazing and so very positive and patient with all the students in his classes. My daughter has not only learned how to defend herself physically but how to traverse through her intense emotions as well. Miki teaches his students a new life skill each week on how to manage and navigate through the emotions kids go through. I would recommend this place to any family!

I cannot say enough about Miki and his program--it is truly phenomenal and a place that I want my children to be. I even feel leaving grounded and better, just by actively watching my child! A brilliant combination of karate, agility games, and a meaningful/applicable life skill (taught in an intimate circle discussion) in EVERY session.

I love learning Karate with Miki! He is very patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. I also love the life skills. I should have started Karate years ago!
