I have been a student at Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate for several years, eventually earning my Black Belt and the title of Instructor. Throughout the years I have had the opportunity of witnessing firsthand the remarkable level of instruction from the Grandmaster himself, his dedication to the students, and the great amount of discipline and respect shared by all present at the Academy – Instructors, adult students, kids, and parents.
The training is top-notch; I have seen many kids who started as shy new students – some of them having experienced bullying before - gain confidence and respect for themselves as well as others as their training progressed. Some of the kids have been part of the Academy for years, with their families eventually enrolling their siblings as they get old enough to train. One family has currently four of their children training at the Academy, enrolled one at the time throughout the past eight years.
As an Instructor myself, I talk to the parents and ask them for feedback, and their response is consistent: this is a Martial Arts school that is simply great for kids, informative and fun. Adult students also benefit from the vast knowledge and experienced advice offered by the Grandmaster, as well as from the various other Black Belt Instructors who have been trained directly under his supervision. If what you are looking for is a reputable Martial Arts School with experienced, knowledgeable, and fun instruction, I definitely recommend Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate Academy.

Outstanding school! Adorned with the many accolades of Grandmaster Flaherty and his associates, this facility is top-notch. The studio is both bright and clean, and welcomes anyone wishing to learn from one of the best practitioners in the martial arts community.

Grandmaster Flaherty, and his staff of black belt instructors do an excellent job of creating an environment that makes learning martial arts fun and enjoyable.

I have been training now for about 7 months, and am rising through the ranks, thanks to their eagerness to teach, willingness to help, and patience to guide. Everyone is so friendly that as soon as you walk through the doors to join, you immediately feel like part of the FKKA family.

If good quality instruction, in a friendly, professional atmosphere is what you’re looking for, I invite you to the perfect place, Flaherty’s Kenpo Karate.

The best instruction I have received at a fair and noble price. The instruction has a pleasant and distinct style of teaching that ensues the student to try and try again until they get a set, form, or technique memorized correctly along with the instructor's patience and understanding. The knowledge that is given to us students is a lesson that is well taught, and later well learned.

Master Flaherty is a outstanding instructor. He taught me and my children. I am so glad to say that I have met and learned from him. He taught in a way that was easy for us starting out and gave us more challenges as time went on. He definitely built our family's self confidence, strength, and respect for one another. Thank you Master Flaherty for all you did for us.

Best Instruction At The Best Rates!

This is the place to learn karate for adults and kids alike. The instruction is outstanding! I learned more about quality self-defense technique with speed and reaction training than I did at the three schools/styles where I trained previously. Master Randall Flaherty (owner), and his staff of instructors, give each student personal, professional and friendly instruction to become their personal best. No contracts, very clean facility, and the rates are lower that any other school around.
