RESPECT

“We are not just about teaching karate, we believe in teaching kids the next step in life, how to function, how to go about their days making the right decisions. Karate is not just about kicking and punching, it’s about thinking what’s the first step, what’s the next step, what are the later steps. It's about shaping character and molding people into confident, respectful, and disciplined human beings.”

- Master Derek Bentley

  • After ONE lesson at Taylor's, she found her home

    “My daughter has attended Taylor's for four years. She had tried a variety of sports, including other martial arts schools, but after 1 lesson at Taylor's, she found her home. Taylor's offers the perfect combination of sport, discipline and competitive spirit while they also respect a child's personality and individual effort. I have seen my daughter's confidence flourish at Taylor's as she works hard to advance her skills. Belts are earned here, not given, and each stripe or color she has achieved has increased her pride in her abilities.

    I cannot say enough good things about the family who runs Taylor's - Georgie and Steve, who keep ME on track, and the other teachers, who model and teach my daughter (and all the students) self control and respect through karate.”

  • Look no further for a karate school...This is it!

    “A wonderful family owned karate school in Marin County! This is a place where a child learns the importance of respect for self and others, discipline, hard work, and focus. This is a place where the art of karate is taught by master teachers with a sense of humor and patience.

    My son has been a student here for four years. He attends class 4-5 days/week. He is able to apply what he has learned in karate in other sports such as soccer and baseball. He loves karate and all of his teachers here. Taylor's is our second home. It is a welcoming place. I would give Taylor's six stars!

    Do yourself a favor and bring your child to Taylor's House of Karate!”

  • Best karate studio in the bay.

    “I started my journey at Taylor's House of Karate when I was 5 and they left a lasting impression. After my family moved for work I retuned to visit numerous times to show them the progress I had made and every time I walked in they knew us. Such an amazing group of people running Taylor's House can't wait to come back in once COVID clears up.”

  • This is a really good karate school.

    “My son has been going here, and he's really enjoyed it. The teachers understand how to present things to kids to keep them engaged and also to make sure that they're on task. Classes are never slow or boring, and the kids get a good workout and a strong sense of having accomplished something as they get better. Their emphasis on working hard, respecting yourself and others, and staying focused is great.”

  • This is an incredibly supportive school and family run business.

    “The teachers are amazing and offer discipline, fitness and personal challenge in a supportive environment. They are great at meeting your child where they are and encouraging them to grow. The dojo feels like family. We tried several schools before landing here and my daughter has been attending for the past three years. We loved the place so much that I started karate as well and have found a new way of staying in shape that I love!”

  • Derek is an awesome karate teacher and exercise motivator!

    “My kids moved on to other sports but still LOVE Derek to the point of wanting him to be a guest at their bday parties. I continue to go for my own exercise. This family run business is so supportive and friendly your kids will learn and thrive here....as well as yourself.”

  • Both of my kids love coming here and have learned so much in a short period of time.

    “Taylor's has a large facility with plenty of instructors, and the kids are segregated into groups by ability. This type of program allows the instructors to work on form and technique while still making the lesson fun for the kids. The program also allows children to attend as many classes as they like whenever they want (classes offered 6 days a week), which is a huge plus for two working parents who need the flexibility. My son is starting kindergarten in the fall, and we were told that martial arts would be a wonderful activity for him to learn self-discipline and focus---things he needs to work on before he is released on the general public! Taylor's has really helped him with that.”

“Really we’re just trying to create a community here, so that, right after school, the kids don’t have to roam around,” he said. “They can come directly here, hang out, be with other kids, and all driven in the same direction: training, focusing, having fun and just getting better at things.”
