About Us

I absolutely love this program, it was recommended to me through another mom and has not disappointed! I have never seen my daughter (age 7) focus as much as she does when she is here! The positive atmosphere and going to authentic support makes her feel welcome every time she walks in the door, and she cannot wait to get to class. I must emphasize that we have never been late because she needs no prompting to get dressed or be ready to leave the house, she is usually rushing me out the door with excitement. As a mom, I appreciate the ongoing communication on what she is doing well, what she needs to focus on when she leaves. I cannot say enough, my only regret is that we didn't start when she was younger (I believe they start at age 4).

I can’t say enough great things about Klotz Institute of Karate. My son has been training at Klotz for 12 years. It is a wonderful karate studio with amazing instructors who not only focus on karate technique but also motor skills, good behavior, respect, self-discipline and self-esteem. Instructors are highly qualified and very supportive. Every student is on their own journey and instructors work with them where they are while challenging them to advance in their training and earn each belt rank. Students support each other and build the karate family. Twice yearly intramural tournaments with the Bowie Klotz studio and overnight summer camp are amazing! Summer day camp is also available and fun for kids.

My son became a student at Klotz Karate in 2020 just before the pandemic. During that time of uncertainty, they seamlessly moved to virtual instruction and my son continued to thrive at home. And when they went back to the studio, the transition was easy because of their thorough safety measures and reassuring attitudes. Today, he is a blue belt and still engaged and motivated to continue his martial arts training. This is all a testament to Klotz Karate’s approach—one that firmly challenges students while positively encouraging their growth and injecting fun along the way. We are grateful to be part of the Klotz Karate family!

My kids have been going here for years and love it! The instructors are great. They have taught my kids patience, body awareness, and raised their confidence. They attended summer camp this year and had a lot of fun. I recommend classes here for all ages.

A Professional and Welcoming Environment Just two classes and we already love the Klotz Institute of Karate! Mr. Klotz has been so welcoming and helpful in getting my son acclimated. We were excited to find out that my son already knew one of the instructors! And as a parent, I'm pleased to see vast diversity in the instructors as well as the students. This is no cookie-cutter organization-it is a unique place with unique people.

Klotz Karate is great. Our kids (10 & 14) have been going there for about a year now and it has been a wonderful experience for them. The owner Ken and all of the instructors are high quality - friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and inspire the kids to work hard. Both of our kids were willing to try karate but were unsure whether they would commit long term - after a few months they both really enjoyed the friendly and challenging environment and are now green belts and continuing to progress their skills. We also really liked the summer overnight camp that Klotz Karate offers, it was a great experience for the kids. The price is very reasonable, and we find the flexible schedule very helpful since my husband and I both work full time. Highly recommend this place.

Our daughter joined Klotz Karate six years ago with no knowledge of martial arts at all. At the time, we wanted to help her with her self confidence, focus and concentration. Her seventh anniversary is coming up since she joined Klotz Karate and boy has it ever helped! She feels that she can defend herself, gets a great weekly workout, is focused and is a responsible, mature, middle schooler concerned with being on time and making a positive impression to those around her. Her little sister is right behind her who started almost two years ago now, because Klotz Karate has been such a great learning experience. Wonderful instructors who care about the kids. We highly recommend it!
