My experience has been great so far. Don and his team of black belts provide a safe and fun training enviroment. Don not only promotes the physical training of martial arts but also puts great emphasis on the mental and spiritual aspects of the different disciplines he teaches.

Since starting my training in 2014, I have come to appreciate and admire Don Culp's style of teaching. He has incredible knowledge about the fighting arts which has helped guide me to become a great boxer and martial artists. He also has so much knowledge of life that has made me become a stronger, more confident individual. Love it!

I have been studying here since I was eleven years old, and it has been a fantastic experience! The instructors are wonderful and the atmosphere of the dojo makes you feel like a part of a family. Shihan Culp has been an outstanding teacher and mentor for my karate, jiu jitsu, and boxing.

This place is so much more than a gym it is a community!

When we moved to North Kingstown in 2010, I searched for the best martial arts school for my sons I could find in the area and enrolled in Don Culp Karate Studio. He and his instructors have been excellent role models and wonderful teachers. We feel very fortunate to be a part of Shihan's school community.

I can describe my first BJJ class at Don Culp's Whole Arts Training Center in two words: Eye Opening. My first class was both physically challenging and mentally stimulating and I could not wait to come back the next week to learn more. The atmosphere is welcoming and the instructors are patient and exceptionally knowledgeable. I fully recommend Don Culp's Whole Arts Training Center to anyone seeking a fulfilling way to exercise, learn how to defend yourself, or simply have fun! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn Martial Arts, BJJ, Boxing or someone just looking to get in better shape! You are sure to have fun and be challenged at the same time.
