Guardian Quest Martial Arts

Everyone there is super friendly! The instructors know what they are doing and are very knowledgable. I have been training here for 12 years, and this dojo has shaped me into who I am today. I went from being a shy, quiet girl into a strong leader. Because of guardian quest I am a confident martial artist!

My children started here about 7 years ago and it CONTINUES to be a wonderful influence in their lives. Soke Scot is more than a karate instructor, he is a «life instructor» — for both me and my children. When my son was 4 yrs old, he was all over the place and I was constantly running after him. When he got on the floor, I was taught it was okay to take a breath and relax, because Soke had it all under control. His discipline is the the best type of discipline: he is gentle and kind, all the while helping the kids come to the ‘right’ decision on their own. He guides them down thinking paths that teach humility, morality and self-​discipline; he helps my children learn to think internally and act responsibly outwardly. He teaches the children to be leaders, which allows them to learn the importance of power and how to use this power with compassion and not selfishness. That’s because this is more than just ‘karate’, he sits down with the students — young and not-​as-​young — and offers advice and/​or encourages discussions filled with insight and wisdom. AND my kids have FUN!
