What our students have to say:
"SLK has been a part of my life for close to 20 years. All three of my sons started practicing at the age of six and SLK not only instilled discipline but gave them the ability to gain confidence and leadership abilities. I have watched all three grow into amazing young men and excel in other aspects of their life because of their time at SLK. I started practicing later in life and karate helped bring me the focus and clarity I needed to get through some tough times personally. As with my boys I would not be where I am in life without my time at SLK. SLK is not just exercise and fitness, that is a bonus, the true reward is the personal growth that can be achieved."
"We are so thankful for having an opportunity for our child to attend karate in Sharbot lake. It has strengthened his ability to focus and learn. He has benefited so much from being able to attend this here in Sharbot lake. The schedule is flexible and the opportunity for tournaments in the east region are appreciated through this program. The team at SLK have supported him for over three years now."
"Karate has been such an incredible influence in my kids’ lives. Beyond just learning techniques and discipline, they’ve gained so much confidence, personal growth, and life wisdom that carries into everything they do. The instructors under the guidance of the dojo’s owner, Renshi Nicole Greenstreet, are not only highly skilled, but truly care about each student, offering encouragement, mentorship, and genuine support."
"What really sets this dojo & Sharbot Lake Karate apart is the sense of community—it truly feels like a second family. There’s a strong focus on respect, perseverance, and character, and it shows in how the students carry themselves both inside and outside the dojo. We’re so grateful to be part of something that has such a positive and lasting impact, not just on our kids, but on the community as a whole."
"We have been with SLK for 2 years now. SLK has been an amazing experience for all 3 of my children. They not only learn the art of karate but have learned dedication, determination and have made lifelong friendships. 2 years ago we walked into the dojo not knowing what karate entailed; today we can't imagine not being a part of the dojo. Truely a priceless asset to the community!"
"I can’t say enough good things about SLK. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind and patient, which makes such a difference for both kids AND adults!! Thanks Renshi Niki and team! 🫶"
"I started karate in November 2024 enrolling into the SLK REC class which is focused on the persons who need a slower and less stringent pace for learning karate (e.g. injured, seniors). I was 65 years old when I joined with no karate experience. I joined for three reasons; self defense, exercise, and community. I have found all three. The REC class allows me to work at my own pace and only do what I am able. Karate has helped to improve my balance and strength. Most importantly I am having fun exercising my body and mind."
"My child has increased his confidence, does not think twice about getting up in front of a crowd, and has a built a huge support network!! I know that looking back, he will see that Karate was pivotal in his life as a kickstart to a successful life, and hopefully will still be practicing."
"I have spent 10 years learning and traing with Renshi Niki and SLK's other skilled instructors. It has helped me live a healthier and more connected lifestyle. I have gained strength and confidence through the club's mentorship and guidance and will now take the art of Karate-do with me for the rest of my life."
"It has vastly improved my cardio and strength, thanks to practicing self defence, sparring, and kata. Highly recommended if you want to learn a thing or two, get into better shape and just have a fun time doing it."
"Sharbot Lake Karate is an outstanding dojo in our community. Their dedication to teaching karate skills and philosophy goes above and beyond just a place to learn and practice. At SLK students learn about team work, developing confidence, challenging themselves, and what it is to be part of a karate community. My granddaughter started classes at SLK at 4 years old and she is now in her 3rd year as a proud member of the SLK dojo. We our so thankful to have such a wonderful dojo right here in Sharbot Lake offering karate at all levels, and for all ages."
"Practicing at SLK is a surprisingly transformative activity to add to your life. Many people join to learn self-defense, but along the way they also develop confidence, humility, patience, and respect, eventually growing into capable leaders who pass their knowledge on to junior members. People of all ages and abilities are welcome at SLK. Every member that I’ve seen has grown in physical capability, emotional stability, and resilience through their training with us. My entire family, including our young children (ages four and up), our teenagers, my husband and me, and even our parents (who are over 60) have come to SLK to learn and grow as people. We’re thankful to be part of such an amazing and welcoming training community."
