My daughter seemed a little lost and needed help being able to focus in school, we signed her up for karate and within the first classes already saw huge changes In her! Her grades improved, her attitude and just her willingness to get out of the house even improved!!! Jeff took the time to really get to know her and really took initiative in getting her active!!! 10/10 would recommend this studio to anyone looking to get their kids up and out of the house!!! Channel positive energy!!! Great experience

As a parent I can guarantee you that you will love your kid’s experience here! The whole staff is just amazing, friendly, professional, experts, and very communicative. My son waits his Karate’s day very patiently and very excitedly!I have been with them for few months and I absolutely think this was the best decision I have made for my kid in regards to his activities so far.If you haven’t started your kid’s membership with them yet, you are missing a lot!

We started our Karate journey in April, trying to find a fit for my 11 year old daughter. Jeff and his amazing trainers are fantastic! My daughter has more confidence than every before, they are the greatest people to work with and have a way of making the kids feel empowered and accepted. She has already moved up a belt and has now joined the Black Belt Training program and we could not be more happy!!!

Jeff Vincent is an amazing karate instructor! His dedication to his students and his ability to connect with each student to make them feel like theyre number one is greatly valued! He has high energy, decades of experience, hes fun while maintaining a professional environment. In the time when kids may need a physical outlet more than ever, this is a top rated experience!

We were looking for a place for my daughter to learn Karate. What we found was not just a place for her to learn Karate, but a place for her to learn respect and discipline, hard work and dedication, honor and self worth. Who wouldnt want that for their child? She has learned to defend the innocent and stand against those who would tear her and others down. The staff is top notch, the facility is amazing, and best of all, they feel like family. I cannot recommend this place enough!! It has made a huge difference in my daughters life!

My dad used to teach here 15 years ago. When my son turned 5 he said he wanted to be like papa and learn karate. He loves going to class and learning all the karate techniques. The environment is fun and friendly. And the teaching is perfect for kids of this age group. They build independence in your child that you can’t find in any other sport. Would recommend

We LOVE Bobby Lawrence Karate!!! Our daughter looks forward to classes every week, and watching her learn self confidence, strength and discipline is just what we were looking for! Along the way we’ve made great friends and love our karate family! The staff is great and so willing to listen to parents concerns to better the facility. The instructors are patient and kind. 5 stars all the way around!

I started at this studio a few years ago and have loved it. As an adult I didnt start out with very much flexibility. I started karate with the intention of getting a good workout to stay in shape and, hopefully, develop a little flexibility. Along the way I have had ample opportunities to work on both. I have also benefited from developing more confidence. I get opportunities to work on moves that challenge my agility and flexibility without feeling pressured to go beyond my abilities. The staff are friendly and always help me feel welcome. There are also several fun activities.

We are so happy we chose to put our daughter in BLK. The changes we have seen in her have been amazing. From not having to ask her to brush her teeth to hearing “yes ma’am” when we ask her to do something. She has really enjoyed it as well. She does get frustrated when other kids in class won’t listen because she feels it takes from her learning. So they could maybe be a little more strict but I also understand these kids are young and are their releasing energy. Overall we have no regrets

I love it here. My son has been going since he was 8 or so and I started going about a two years ago. I has been great for me. Ive lost about two pant sizes and a shirt size, feel better and am slowly getting better at the karate as well. Ive grown greatly in strength as well. As an adult, its a great time for me, and I enjoy doing the work with my son. The instructors do a very good job working you hard and also teaching you the self defense skills/karate moves to do well. They have always been receptive to questions and always helpful. I would recommend to any adult looking for something to keep them active and add to their skill sets. Its very fun for me.

Bobby Lawrence Karate in West Jordan is an amazing martial arts studio that focuses on personal development in each student through offering a fun, challenging experience. Students of all ages build strong character and experience increased confidence, self-discipline and respect for themselves and those around them in this extremely positive atmosphere.As a previous black belt student from this studio, this has been my experience which has had a positive, long-lasting effect on my life. I would encourage anyone of any age who is looking for an exciting new challenge for mind and body – give this a shot and I’m sure you won’t regret it!

Great place for adults to learn martial arts and get exercise. Ive been going here for a few years and its been awesome. Jeff has helped me develop life skills as well as get more physically active. It has been a great experience. Its tough because he pushes you to be better and the end result is well worth it!

I have loved taking lessons as an adult at this studio. The instructors are very friendly and cater well to teens and adults as well as children. I always wanted to take lessons as a kid and finally started going ( at 30) and they have been very encouraging and I have had a great time. When my kids get a little older I would love for them to go as well.

Review №38

I joined the adult program several years ago and have really enjoyed my time in the studio. There is a good variety of material which breaks things up from class to class so its not the same every night. The class schedule is also flexible which helps when life gets in the way of getting to class. To me the Black Belt Training class is where the real fun starts as that is when you get to start sparing and working with weapons. All in all it has been a great experience and allowed both myself and my daughter to get our blackbelts in 2019.

We enrolled our 5 year old and BLK West Jordan to help him with learning focus and body control after receiving feedback from his school that he was struggling. We have seen some real growth in our son. He is doing better at school. He is learning the appropriate times to run around and then the time she needs to control is body and show respect along with learning some awesome karate moves. Thanks BLK WJ!

This is an update to my last review. I started training at Bobby Lawrence Karate West Jordan in 2009. I trained for about 2 1/2 to 3 years, and had a great time doing so. When my son was old enough to start we enrolled him into the school. The fantastic instructors not only helped my son break out of his shell, but have helped him with almost every aspect of his life!After my son had been at the West Jordan school for a few years, I decided that it was time for me to start back up again. Martial Arts has been a big part of my life for the last almost 26 years, and Bobby Lawrence Karate has been a big part of that. I would strongly encourage anyone both young or older who would like to try martial arts to join Bobby Lawrence Karate.Fantastic school with very knowledgeable instructors. My son comes away from class so excited about what he has learned and cant wait until his next class

This is the only thing my daughter has ever stuck with. It’s been over 2 years now and it has really helped her physically, emotionally, and helped her become more motivated by and responsible at home and school.

Review №51

I like how they are related to outside of this karate school. They require you to be good anywhere anytime to be promoted. Students must sign a piece of paper that they understand 4 important attitudes (courtesy, respect, discipline, focus) and parents and school teachers are also required to sign the paper if your child has those good attitudes at home and school. To be honest my 7 year old autistic son almost failed because of his bad attitude at school but we talked about it a lot and he wanted to be promoted so he tried really hard. And it worked! Im so thankful for them that they teach kids mental strength, patience and respect.

Review №54

Weve been a part of the Bobby Lawrence family for over seven years, and we love the enthusiasm, philosophies, and commitment of all the staff. We found a pronounced difference between Bobby Lawrences method of teaching when comparing other studios. Karate has been a tremendous confidence-builder for my otherwise non-athletic son, as well as a fantastic solution to bullying problems he had years ago. The life skills that Bobby Lawrence Karate teaches has given him the skills to face and overcome challenges with grace and maturity.

We had our children enrolled in a different studio and were happy enough. Probably because we didnt know how great the staff, program and experience is at Bobby Lawrence Karate. My children love and respect their intructors. We have seen an increase in their self-confidence and physical abilities. My son has focus, discipline and drive and hes not even nine yet! My 5 year -old-daughter has become a better listener at school and is learning how better to manage her emotions.I would recommend BLK over any other studio I know.

Review №66

We love BLK! I have 2 boys who go there, and they love it! They love karate, and have been going there for 1.5 years. It has helped with their confidence, manners, respect, courage, and more. One of my sons was always very quite, and his teachers always had a hard time hearing him. He became louder after starting karate, and it made a huge difference. My other son seemed to get angry a lot, and was able to deal with his anger better after starting karate. The instructors are awesome. I love how they teach about bettering yourself in life. BLK is much more than just good kicks and punches.Update: After more 4 years, we still go here and love it! They have great instructors. They teach the same qualities of how to be a good person. My son has a second degree black belt now.

Review №73

My little family has been so blessed for finding Jeff and the BLK family! Our son was struggling with aggression, self control and respect for others to the point he was becoming unbearable to live with. I always heard that karate was the BEST thing for the overactive, full of energy child, and my thoughts were why would I want to teach this child more ways to hit or fight?. Boy was I wrong. Our son has been with BLK since last October and has become so respectful, calm and more able to self regulate! He has actually started looking at people and responding to their feelings and emotions! He is 100% a totally different little boy. It takes a village to raise children and I am proud to have Bobby Lawrence Karate studios as part of our village!
