Keiko Shin Karate Academy - Sports school in Wesley Chapel - 3753 Bruce B Downs Blvd, USA

Our 6-yr-old daughter Penelope started at Keiko Shin 9 months ago, attending the after school program. Ms. Ibe was very helpful in getting her enrolled and settled. Penelope immediately fell in love with karate and her amazing and VERY PATIENT Sensei, Miss Destiny. We have noticed a big improvement in her attention span, ability to focus, discipline and her overall “toughness”. She has recently started training to be on the competition team and is very excited to train with Sensei Ernesto. She not only gets plenty of exercise with her training but has also made lots of friends. At first, we were worried that her school work would suffer because of the time and attention to karate instead of homework; but we couldn’t be happier. She is on the honor roll and is doing great in school because of the discipline and character building she is learning from karate. We would highly recommend Keiko Shin to anyone looking to join a karate family, not just a dojo.

I want to begin my review by expressing my sincerest gratitude for Sensei Ernesto, Miss Destiny and the whole team. The warmth, compassion and love they have for the kids is what keeps the students coming back. The dojo feels like an extended family and we’re thrilled to have our son be a part of it.

Amazing instructor, my son has been attending to Keiko Shin Karate Academy since he was 5 year old, I have seen improvements on his coordination, discipline, my son now pays more attention and concentrates better. Wes

I was highly recommend this dojo from a friend when she heard I was having a hard time finding a reputable dojo. Sensei Ernesto has done an amazing job with teaching our son the art of karate, my son has a learning disability and was having a hard time at school. Since joining he has gained confidence, renewed focus, and has become more of an advocate for himself. Six months after starting basic karate my son was asked to join the competition team and we have continued to watch him grow in such a short time. What a great family friendly studio.. Your children deserve the best and this dojo is it.

I started taking the adult karate class at Keiko Shin about 2 years ago, as a form of physical fitness and self defense. I quickly became entrenched in the art of traditional Shotokan Karate. The classes are challenging and the atmosphere is welcoming and family oriented. Sensei Ernesto Fuentes is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his students of all ages!

Keiko Shin karate academy is awesome in my personal experience I have 2 kids with Autism and they have greatly improved since they started with Keiko Shin Karate Academy from discipline, social skills and personal interaction not including the physical conditioning. Now they are in better physical condition to before enrollment to the Academy. I have noticed better concentration and attention to details and that's not including the fact that one of my kids competed in the last World Karate Championship in Ft Lauderdale and earned a Gold and a Silver medal. Thank you very much Sensei Ernesto Fuentes at Keiko Shin Karate Academy for everything you do for our kids every single day. From the discipline, dedication to the true traditional karate teachings and the hard training sessions. I David lopez can truly say thank you very much and I know I'm not the only parent that feels that way about the academy but I will let other parents speak for themselves. Once again thank you very much Keiko Shin Karate Academy for everything you do with our kids and the community.

This the best academy in Tampa Bay we are lucky enough to be here in Wesley Chapel. Sensei Ernesto has been not only a world class Sensei but an excellent person that helps you to educate, discipline and protect your child’s like it was his. I don’t trust nobody with my kids, however, Sensei Ernesto and his staff Destiny and Ms. Ibe they have earned my trust. I recommend to everyone looking to have your child sports. Traditional Karate it is sport that will encourage your kids to be better person. And Seise Ernesto will be there for your kids!!!

I highly recommend Keiko Shin karate academy for it has done wonders for my son. Sensei Ernesto is a child psychologist and karate master who instills not only physical but mental strength, discipline and respect in our children. The dojo is a tight knit community in which parents and children help each other. It's not just a dojo it's a family!
