Next Level Karate - Martial arts school in Lenexa - 12940 W 87th St, USA

Sensei Dan does an incredible job with little kids. Our little man absolutely loves being a Little Dragon and talks about it constantly.

We truly love coming here. My daughter has learned so much in karate at Next Level and is always looking forward to class. The stripe test are so fun, it's great to see her confidence in showing off a new move! There's always events, and cool incentives to keep kids busy and involved outside of class. I also love the zoom option for class, very convenient. Great instructors, and great facility!! Thank you Sensei Matt!!

My daughter loves going there, sensei Dan and Matt are great role models. Not only do they teach great technique but also care to help them grow their confidence. They offer way more than Karate, they have parents night out and camps while school is out.

After attending a birthday party at Next Level Karate, we signed up for a summer camp there. My son loved it and we began classes soon after. After trying multiple sports, this is the first thing that he’s actually excited to do every week! Mr. McDaniel does an excellent job of making it fun, but he keeps them focused and disciplined, which is something my son was having problems with. Now, he wants to work hard and is rewarded with the stripe and belt tests. He is more respectful and has much more confidence than before! It’s been a great experience for us!

I found this school by accident after yet another disastrous soccer season with my son and needed to find a new activity. What a happy accident, indeed! Mr. McDaniel is amazing with children. His expectations are high, but the children work hard and are inspired in each class. My son is special needs and I especially appreciate the school's willingness to take on any student regardless of circumstance. Our whole family participates in the karate program, and I also do the Fitness Kickboxing which has helped me to lose 40 lbs in the last year. I highly recommend Next Level Martial Arts enough as a fun, healthy activity for the whole family!

We love Next Level! They are more than just karate and kickboxing classes.. they are family! My nine year old has been involved with karate for over five years now and as a family, we spend every night(ish) of the week there between karate and kickboxing. It's affordable for the whole family and definitely worth it. I can't rave enough about what Mr. McDaniel (Sensei Matt) has done for my son over the years. ❤️

I started at AKKA OP when I was 12 years old. I attained my 1st degree black belt 6 years later, and the journey is still something I talk about to this day. Not only did this martial arts program help me physically, but it taught me so many life lessons. Matt McDaniel is an incredible instructor, but even better person. If you are looking to put your child in a martial arts program, I cannot recommend this place enough. Not only will your child be in an amazing environment, they will be surrounded by tons of positive energy and incredible people!

Couldn't be more happy with this place. Sensei Matt was amazing ingratiating my kids (4 and 6) after the long lock down. He has a gift teaching the little ones, so enthusiastic yet keeps them well structured. My kids can't wait to come back for their next class, and I look forward to seeing their progress. Highly recommend for summer camp. Broad selection of services such as group sessions, tournaments, different types of martial arts and birthday parties.
