An excellent school. I have studied here for years and have grown so much from the timid twelve year old white belt that first walked in the door to a confident teenager sitting comfortably with his first degree black belt (and working on his second!). Anyone who has never tried martial arts, or is looking for a new and invigorating experience should come out and at least try one class- it is an experience unlike any other.

My husband and I began training at New Orleans Karate Club in 2007. We immediately saw the value of the program. Karate is a wonderful way to exercise. It improves your balance, your strength, your self-confidence, and your self-discipline. Master Maben gives his students a clear understanding of how techniques can be applied in real life scenarios.

The Staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Each person goes out of his/her way to ensure your experience is above average in every respect. But what stands out most is leadership. Management insists every Staff member provide an exceptional service experience to all customers and potential customers.
