“My daughter has been taking karate lessons since she was 5 and she is now a big 10. She thoroughly enjoys learning here. Her face lights up when she shares her experiences with us, because she loves it so much.
She’s determined to become a black belt and even open her own dojo – the stars are the limit and karate is helping her gain the skills and confidence to achieve her goals.”
“My three kids and I have gone to Black Belt Center for many years. Master Mike is an amazing teacher. He is patient, creative and dedicated. He is always great with the kids and non-judgmental. I have been to this school for the last 8 years and have only the highest ratings for Master Mike and how the school is run.”

Martial Arts
My Child Is Shy And Introverted.
If there is any common success story from our martial arts program it’s students and parents telling us how we helped their child to “come out of his/her shell.”
We have specific drills and exercises that are effective for helping students take small steps toward a more confident presence.
My Child Has A Short Attention Span.
That’s why our program is fast-moving and engaging for the children.
Our instructors are also experts at helping children to re-focus in class until it becomes natural to the child.
My Child Is Not Very Active And Never Liked Sports Before.
Recognizing and resisting urges to act out are central to the discipline of making sure a student is not abusing the training.
That includes developing the self-control to resist urges.
My Child Is Constantly Fighting With His Sister. Are We Putting Her At Risk?
Parents of our martial arts students are consistently impressed with how our training helps to mature the children in different ways and temper control is one of them.
Much of that has to do with a heightened self-awareness to recognize when things are “heating up” and how to de-escalate.”
My Child Has A History Of Quitting New Activities.
This starts with your child clearly understanding that the first discipline is to come to class twice a week and practice two non-class days.
To help you with that the child psychologists in the Martial Arts Teachers’ Association’s Certification program suggest you be aware of what activity the child is engaged in right before getting ready for class.
If they are playing their favorite game and having fun, they will be more resistant to stopping to go to class than if they were doing something that may not be as fun, like homework.
