“Our oldest started learning karate with Champagne's Martial Arts nearly 17 years ago. Eventually, all our children (and myself) joined in the fun and this has become a family activity we love and look forward to each week. The dojo has become like a second home, thanks to the owners, staff, and all those who train with us. Do yourself a favor and come check it out!”
