My son has been taking classes for almost 4 years now! He loves going and puts so much effort in during class and at home! Mr Clayton is a phenomenal instructor as well as the students who help him in class, and my son has learned so much!! From techniques to self discipline he learns new things on a daily basis at Clayton Kemp Karate! And he will continue to go and grow for many years to come!

Both of my sons have attended Claytons Kenpo Karate for many years. Lance Clayton and his staff have been a tremendous positive influence in their lives. All of his programs from youth to adult are conducted in a professional manner. I highly recommend this Karate studio.

My son took classes here for a few years, making his way up to junior black belt. He decided to step back from karate after that but the lessons he learned from Mr. Clayton will stay with him forever. I am so proud of him but perhaps more importantly, my son is proud of himself! I highly recommend Clayton’s Kenpo Karate!

I found Clayton’s Kenpo Karate, when I was looking for an activity for my then young daughters. CKK turned out to be a huge influence on my daughters self esteem. Lance Clayton is an amazing teacher and human being. I was so impressed that I took lessons that subsequently changed my life. Mr. Clayton makes all his students feel seen and empowered. (We all need that). His dojo is a safe place for people of all ages to do the work of getting stronger while learning major life lessons. If I could give CKK more stars I would!

Our child has attended Mr. Clayton's Kenpo Karate for about three years. He is a talented instructor and clearly loves the martial arts. He also takes the time to give important life lessons to students and connects those to the discipline of Karate. And pricing is fair too. Worth a visit if you live in the area! Mr. Clayton is always welcoming.

This the best school around and you will not be disappointed! The instruction is structured and taught in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere where learning is fun and exciting for kids and adults!The Kenpo style Is great because it combines common sense and body dynamics allowing the system to adapt to ones specific needs. My husband who is so unflexable was able to do all the material with slight changes for his body making for a very rewarding experience. I cannot say enough about American Kenpo and how well it works!Mr. Clayton Is a gifted teacher! He is patient, kind and generous with his time. His goal is to teach you but the way he teaches-you remember. He is always ready to answer questions, repeat technique and explain the how and why of anything asked. He is a bundle of knowledge and very easy to approach and talk to.For my family of 5, we started with my youngest son and it was so interesting we all started classes. We loved it! It was the best investment we could’ve made for my family. What you learn in Mr. Clayton’s classes are skills for life. The knowledge stays with you forever.

Absolutely the best. Two of my children and myself have experienced his expert instruction and professionalism in his martial arts program. The care and devotion he shows his students cannot be matched by anyone. He expects excellence but also knows and understands each individual's level of learning. We hold him with highest regard. Now my grandson is a student. We will always be grateful for his care and devotion. He embraces his craft and shares his knowledge of it expertly. In other words there are not enough words to express how wonderful his school and teachings have been to my family !

Clayton's Kenpo Karate has been a great experience for my son. He had trouble focusing in school and in general. Mr. Clayton's class provided self discipline and structure in an out of school activity. At 5, my son was nervous about his first karate test and wanted to quit. Mr. Clayton took the time to sit down with him and talk him through what was making him nervous and built up his confidence. He also makes sure that all students are responsible for their actions in and out of the karate studio. He makes sure they understand what their ownership in their actions are as well. His passion, excitement, and devotion to the art and his students comes out of him every day. He is not there for a paycheck. He is there because he is a genuine teacher who loves working with his students.I also have been taking instruction from him as well and highly recommend him to all my friends. Two of my friends have taken courses because his excitement for the art is so contagious!

Mr. Clayton is kind, professional and very welcoming to all families that enter his school.Whether your decision to have your child take karate classes for structure, discipline, confidence or just to have an activity, all of your needs will be met.Your child learns respect for Mr. Clayton, his school, respect for themselves and for their peers.Your child learns about what it means to practice a skill, perform the skill and earn stripes on their belt and advance to the next level belt, as well as advance to the next class.Mr. Clayton is so easy to talk to and he truly wants to know your child and to see them succeed in karate and to be proud of their accomplishments.We have recommended Clayton’s Karate to several other families who have since joined the school as well, and are so glad that they did!We have been a part of the school for almost 2.5 years and have had nothing but an amazing and positive experience for our daughter.

I attended Mr. Clayton’s karate school many years ago as a student. I was extremely impressed with expansive knowledge of the arts. Some people are just born to teach (Mr. Clayton) and he has that innate ability to really connect with students. He teaches so much more than martial arts, he provides lessons on life. I was so impressed with him that my daughter also attended his school. Mr. Clayton is a man of true character and I highly recommend his school.

I sincerely can't say enough nice things about Clayton's Kenpo Karate School!... I was a student there back in the 90's and would still be if I hadn't moved away. Attending Mr Clayton's fun inspiring karate lessons was one of my fave things to do while attending college nearby and I still miss going there like crazy to this day! Mr Clayton is one of those amazing hard working honest to the bone quality guys that truly cares about his students and puts his whole heart and knowledge into his teaching. I can highly recommend his karate school to people of all ages—you won't regret going there, that's for sure!

My son began taking Kenpo when he was 7 and continued for many many years. Me. Clayton not only taught him Kenpo karate, he also taught him to be confident yet humble and independent yet a team player too. Mr. Clayton is someone that he has always admired, respected, and he continues to want to see and visit him even though he is now an adult! He even chose to write about Mr. Clayton and the impact he had on him for his college application essay!!As a parent, I couldn’t speak more highly of a business owner too. He is always friendly, helpful and willing to work with parents in any way possible. He treats the parents at his school the same way he treats the kids and the same way he teaches and expects them to treat others-with respect. And he always has just the right amount of fun too!
