Every school has it's strengths, but Martingilio's undeniably has the best self-defense in town. Master Chris brings a depth of knowledge to the school not only from his 30 years of experience and almost that long teaching, but also by offering optional seminars taught by other experts in their art. His school also has the longest staying power for adult black belts. At Martingilio's the 1st - 3rd degree Black Belts continue to learn because of Chris' 7th degree and because of the unique resource of having an active world renowned 9th Degree who trains at the dojo and offers classes.

Thank you, Master Chris, for being there for us and for guiding us along the way towards true combat-applicable martial arts expertise.

The instructors do a really good job with mixing up the class with activity and philosophy. There's also a word of the month where they go through what it means and how it applies to every day life (Determination, Cooperation, Charity, etc...) While I'm not sure how good their adult program is, I really like the structure of their lil' ninjas program. It offers little milestones each week and testing every couple of months. It builds discipline in the kids. My kid is already answering me with "Yes sir" at home. Pricing is fair especially since there are four classes per week and you can attend all of them if you have time. Also, if you have multiple kids, they only charge for the first two. Everyone else in the family after that is free (including parents). The school is clean and bright. It seems to be a well run school. If you're looking for something for your kid to build teamwork and discipline (ages 4-7), I highly recommend their lil' ninjas program.
