Family Martial Arts has been so good. Our daughter is learning so much and the staff is always the best and so friendly. We recommend them anyone looking to get their child into karate.

My son has been attending FMA since he was 3yrs old and ge is now 8. Karate has been a foundation for him as he develops with sensory seeking and hyperactivity. The team here are incredible and I have never experienced such a dedicated, kid-first focus on whole child development using Martial Arts as the anchor. I've developed friendships here, found babysitters and my daughter can't wait to start. Thank you for everything, FMA

We’ve had an incredible experience with Family Martial Arts over the past year and a half. My child has been part of the Advanced Dragons program, and the growth we’ve seen has been remarkable. Sensei Odalys, Mr. Hart, and the entire team truly care about their students as whole people, not just as martial artists. They challenge kids to do hard things while helping them see that they are capable of more than they think. A special shout-out to Ms. Simpson, who brings so much joy and encouragement to the mat. She teaches our kids to let loose, celebrate their wins, and find their voices, complete with her legendary, monstrous roars. As the mom of a naturally quiet child, that has meant more than I can say. Alongside the fun, the program builds real self-discipline, focus, respect, and perseverance. Beyond karate skills, the life lessons are powerful. Watching my child grow in confidence, pride, and self-belief has been truly special. Family Martial Arts is a supportive, challenging, and caring community, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

My son went for a few weeks, but our schedule wasn’t aligning… after we couldn’t make it for a few weeks we tried to cancel our “subscription” ( after still being charged multiple times) but was told that we had to submit it writing and still still had to pay for the next 30 days ($190). None of this was explained in the beginnIng, it’s definitely a trap for parents who just wanted thier kid to be in an activity.
