★LaurenI have no idea how this place has so many 5 star reviews. We took our child for a trial class and lasted all of 5 minutes before pulling him out of there. The instructor was incredibly unprofessional and did not set a good example for children at all. He was encouraging disrespecting teachers and was discussing violence in classrooms right in front of the children. When it was time for class to begin he told the children to go play a game. He didn’t even bother getting off the bench to begin class. He didn’t provide any instruction for how to play the game, even though it was our child’s first time there. He didn’t introduce the children to one another. Overall, just a very poor experience and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for positive role models, structure or character building for your child.
★★★★★jason litchfieldMy son has absolutely grown in so many ways since beginning classes here. Discipline, focus, teamwork, strength, etc... Great fun too. Sensei's are amazing and very talented and very helpful with all the students. I would recommend to everyone of any age. 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
★★★★★Mary ClarkMy son is enjoying his time and classes. He is learning discipline and self defense and making new friends. The instructors are awesome.
★★★★★Martin MurphyI've been a student at JKI since 2020 and absolutely love it! The instructors are great and I highly recommend it for young and old. I've studied at a few dojos in my life and JKI Moncks Corner is the best by far.
★★★★★Dennis RuffHave had all three of my kids here for over 9 years and started myself around 7 years ago. Amazing instructors all of who bring their own unique training and experiences to classes.
