Students
While I was eager to learn karate in my middle ages the opportunity to do so with my son has been invaluable and memorable. One of the things I have conspicuously noticed since starting the classes is Denise’s ability to teach students that range from beginners to black belts with the same care and consideration. She fosters a "togetherness" attitude amongst the class that I find a great life lesson for children. It is apparent that the understanding of martial arts is a "journey" rather than simply a destination. I look forward to continuing this journey with Denise and the good people at Norwell Karate.

In short, taking karate has been one of the best decisions of my life. Starting at age 42 was not easy but it has taught me so much. I am more confident in all other facets of my life. It has helped teach me strength, discipline, respect, athleticism (which has greatly improved my tennis game!), mental alacrity, and so much more. My karate "family" is the best. I strongly recommend martial arts at Norwell Karate. Sensei Denise is one of the finest in her genre.

South Shore Karate is a very welcoming and enjoyable place to take karate. Denise Laiosa, who runs all the classes, is a very experienced 5th degree black belt. I have been going there for 6 years and look forward to each class. She makes karate fun while teaching discipline as well as improving your self- confidence. The classes are tailored to each person's individual needs. She has numerous classes for different ages and abilities. She offers private lessons as well. She has the patience of a saint and offers guidance to help you understand the movements and strive to do your best. She has guided me through the years and enabled me to achieve my black belt, which has been an amazing journey and accomplishment for me. Anyone would be lucky to have such a great sensei as Denise.

I like how you get to participate with other people in the class. Also I love how you always seem to have fun while learning new things. I also like how kind and caring sensei Denise is to her students.
