From the reviews
Destined For Greatness is by far the very best place that I have chosen to send my son, they have an after school program, they teach karate and they even have camp in the summer, a parent doesn't have to worry about where they can take their child or children If the enroll them there, I greatly appreciate Destined…

Awesome program, great staff, lots of fun for the kids. 10/10 would highly recommend!
My children were also apart of their preschool as well. Very clean centers. They consistently communicate with you for everything. My son was failing in school , the owner Mr Davenport, personally partnered with my son’s teacher and developed an action plan to refocus him. He treated my son as if he was his own.
Your first Karate class at Destined For Greatness Martial Arts
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.
