In my opinion the most incredible thing you can teach a child is to work hard, give 100 percent, and don’t give up when things get tough. If they learn that there is nothing they can’t go for. At Denda I see the instructors teach this at every lesson. Yes my boys are learning martial arts skills. But more then that they are learning life skills.

Such a great place for my son! He’s learned great discipline. He looks forward to going to karate every day! Helps him work in his strength. He’s made friends. The teachers are wonderful! They know how to work with kids so good! And the staff is always friendly.

Denda has such a unique and exciting atmosphere for learning!! My son Max has been coming here for the last 5 months and absolutely loves it! It’s given him a wonderful opportunity to grow socially, mentally, athletically, and encourages him to be responsible and accountable for his actions. He leaves excited to move and play more at home too! The instructors are very motivating, give instructions in a constructive and positive way, and have so much energy! More people need to take advantage of their awesome learning environment!

We love Denda! My young daughters have learned so much from all of the instructors and are allowed to progress at their own pace. Their confidence, strength and dedication has grown by leaps and bounds over the last two years! Thank you Denda for teaching kids how to stand tall, stay safe and be leaders.

Denda Academy is a quality school that not only teaches martial arts but also life and character skills that will last far beyond class time. Instructors are excellent, fair, and truly love to teach and mentor the student. The academy is run proficiently and maintains order and discipline. Master and Mrs. Dutson are caring and involved in all aspects of the academy…their generous contributions to the students and the community at large are invaluable and absolutely “Best of State”!

Denda Academy has been a really great experience for my kids. Not only are they learning and growing, but they feel important to the instructors, even Master Dutson, who is a busy guy! There are even opportunities for older kids to be leaders, and this has had a huge, positive impact on my daughter.

My two boys have been at Denda for a year and a half now and I have to say they are simply amazing. Your kids can learn to punch and kick anywhere, but if you want them to learn self confidence, respect, responsibility, and so much more Denda is where you want them.

It has been a privilege to watch my boys grow up under the guidance of the amazing staff at Denda Academy. They have become a part of our family and I couldn’t imagine life without them.
