Rifkin Professional Studios is the only place to learn Karate... I have searched everyone in Columbia and was so disappointed until I Meet Master Rifkin. He takes the time to teach (he teaches every class). My main concern was that my granddaughter Aaliyah lost her dad when she was 2, and she has two women that watch over her. Master Rifkin has taught her to defend herself so there is not as much worry on her mother and my part. She has discipline, respect and confidence since she has started there. Master Rifkin will not advance unless you know the material he is teaching. So I am confident that she can protect herself. So confident that I also added my other granddaughter Aryana, and will add my other 4 grandchildren when they are of age. It is the best money I have ever spent. Piece of mind. Thank you Master Rifkin for protecting my family...

Great school. Master Rifkin is fun and approachable while still being a thorough instructor; that being said, he maintains high expectations of his students. He pays attention to what is happening in class and knows when to push students harder and when to let them digest new information. I started as a white belt last year and have made significant improvements to my flexibility and endurance. I particularly like the way he is with children. My daughter is only 5 and within one day of starting, understood what was expected of her in class. Master Rifkin is kind but direct when she needs to change something and, because he keeps the class active and engaged, she adjusts quickly. He takes time to talk and joke with the children before and after class, which I really appreciate. He's demanding but not frightening. My girl and I both have a lot of fun. I highly recommend this school.

I've been training at RPKC for a year now. I've improved my mind and body and taken my training to a level I never imagined possible. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Master Rifkin. His curriculum is top notch and his teaching abilities are equally amazing. RPKC is no McDojo - it's a school that focuses on the details of every technique so that when it comes time to use your skills in the real world you can feel confident that they will be effective.
