Kenja Martial Arts is an exceptional place for students of all ages and skill levels. My husband and oldest daughter both have their black belts, and my youngest daughter is currently a black belt candidate—all three absolutely love their experience. Mr. Lindsay is an outstanding instructor with a deep knowledge of martial arts. He strikes the perfect balance between discipline and fun, seamlessly shifting from serious training to engaging, enjoyable moments that keep students motivated and excited to learn. We are incredibly grateful to be part of the Kenja family

Great instructor, Great Man, Great Family~ we have known Sensei Lindsay & his family for many years. He taught my daughter many years ago. His style for teaching is unmatched. He is truly gifted with his instruction. Although his studio is new in our area, he is not new to teaching! We are excited to watch him grow in this beautiful Dojo. In today's world everyone needs to know self-defense and I cannot think of a better instructor. Diane

Sensei is AMAZING! I’ve already seen such positive changes in my child in a short time at Kenja. The instructor is kind, effective, and he truly cares. We absolutely love this place, and I can see my child learning under Mr. Lindsay for a long, long time. Don’t think twice — come join the Kenja family!

Mr. Lindsey is a very talented martial artist. I have trained under him as well as my daughter. His commitment to detail is outstanding!. His passion and dedication shows through as a teacher as he is one of the best children’s teachers I have ever known. A family owned business. Christian values and a true passion for the arts. You owe it to yourself to visit and watch one of his classes . You will not be disappointed.
