“Master Fuller couldn't have been more patient and welcoming to him, even sending him video-texts encouraging him to come back to class.”
“Plus from a parent stand point it's great to see how it's shaping him into a boy who wants to listen better, be more respectful, and continue to improve overall as a brother/son.”

From the reviews
Choosing a Karate School for your children is hard...but I think we struck gold!! Both of my boys attend David Fuller Karate School. My oldest started in the Little Ninja Class, instructed by Ms. Stephanie at age 4. Now, 6 years later, he enjoys Master Fuller's Advanced Class. My youngest too has found a home at DFK.
My 6 years old little girl is going to David Fuller Karate for the last 3 months. We are told about Master Fuller's class by one of our common friends. Still we remember our first meet with Master Fuller which is warm and happy. After meeting him we did not get second thought and registered immediately.
My son recently joined Fuller Karate and it has been a huge benefit for him and us. He enjoys his various activities he is involved with, but Karate he loves. He loves the instructors, he loves the lessons, he asks everyday to go.
My son joined the children's program a few months ago. He loves it, and it is the most invigorating physical activity he gets in a week. All of the teachers are great at engaging and encouraging the kids.
Your first Karate class at David Fuller Karate
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
