Rock Solid is amazing! My son went there for 10 years and earned his second degree black belt. The owners and teachers are friendly and were always encouraging my son every step of the way. I cannot thank Master Sandt, Me. Lee, Mr. David and Mrs. Easter for the love and support they poured into my son.

We love Rock Solid Karate! I had my 2 sons enrolled since 4/2023 and since they started they have enjoyed the experience and learning all the new techniques. They have learned to respect others, work as a team and make new friends here! They got very attached to the staff as well and love them very much.

We love Rock Solid Karate! I had my 2 sons enrolled since 4/2023 and since they started they have enjoyed the experience and learning all the new techniques. They have learned to respect others, work as a team and make new friends here! They got very attached to the staff as well and love them very much. Everyone that works here is very nice and helpful and go out of their way for every kid that attends here! They have learned so much and pushed themselves to be the best they can be. They love to tell everyone where they attend to learn martial arts. I am extremely satisfied with the level of instruction and care provided by the instructors. They love what they do and love to teach all the children. I’ve never heard a bad thing about them and loved that my children were happy every time they came. My boys have always been shy but the staff at Rock Solid Karate were patient and encouraging, helping my boys gain confidence and excel in their karate training especially my younger one, he just wouldn’t give up. Their love for martial arts has only grown since they attended here from receiving their first belt to their current belt green/brown. We are moving to another county and only wish they had more locations so they could keep going because they are worth it! I highly recommend Rock Solid Karate to anyone looking for a positive and supportive environment for their child to learn martial arts. Try them outtttt you won’t regret it 😍

We enrolled our 7yr old boy in the after school program. He absolutely loves it. It's his favorite part of the day. They teach the children respect, patience. And a world of other great life skills. My son told me that after school karate makes his day the very best.👌

I absoloutly love this place. I signed up my son to help with his behavior, this place has done far more then that for him. He knows how to work as a team, he shows the instructors respect, he is excited to go each time, he has made friends. You can tell the instructors like what they do and take a general interest in the children

My family and I have discovered the ideal karate school! Classes for all ages are offered by certified teachers including Lee Sandt and Master Sandt. Their summer camps, easy timetables, and spotlessly clean facilities with observation space are all features. The staff, especially Mrs. Nancy, is really helpful and nice. Everyone is inspired and filled with confidence!
