    I’ve been attending ika karate academy for 2 years now and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made. I feel more confident, and comfortable in my own skin and I’ve learnt many valuable lessons from my coach. I enjoy every single class and try my best at everything, I also love learning new things. I've made so many friends and I wouldn't give them up for the world. Coach Hazem is very professional and a great teacher, he also knows how to make karate enjoyable and he knows how to make every lesson fun in its own way. Kelly is super kind and caring and knows how to listen to your problems within the dojo and tries her best to solve them, without kelly everything would fall apart. She is also very funny. I 100% recommend Ika to anyone that wants to learn how to defend themselves and they'll make load if friends on the way.
