We started my youngest here over a year ago. She struggled with staying still and mild impulse control. Everyone was so helpful with her, even when she had days she didn't want to be there. Whenever they notice a kid is struggling to be there, they give them lots of positive reinforcement. All the parents are wonderful and clap and cheer for all the kids to celebrate everyone's success. The kids are constantly encouraged to cheer each other on. A few months after my youngest started, I signed my older child up. She struggled with sticking up for herself and being too scared to use her voice. They've helped her find her voice and confidence. I loved what I saw in my kids so much, I joined the adult class myself! I've been going for coming up on a year and cannot say enough good things about what it's done for me. I did not start out in shape at all, I work a desk job. I feel better in all aspects of my life. It's more than just exercise. I love everyone who works here and my fellow students. If even the smallest part of you is interested for you or your child, I HIGHLY recommend it. They let you try classes to see if it's a good fit, but I promise you'll fall in love with it. read more

Basche's Martial Arts - BBC class - Martial Arts Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

My granddaughter Zoey is quite the active child. She plays hockey, is involved in cheer and plays soccer when her schedule allows. She received a free week of martial arts and fell head over heals So much so her best friend also joined and adores the experience. I really appreciate the focus on respect, the ability of the instructors to relate to the children as well as the physical strength the students are obtaining. I give my full stamp of approval as well as my appreciation to the staff for their dedication to the enrichment of today's youth. Sharyn Harmeyer read more

Owner is a textbook narcissist. Steve Basche bullied my son to tears on multiple occasions. When I finally had enough and pulled my son from class, Steve chased us out into the parking lot trying to argue about the situation. After I told him "I don't wish to speak to you anymore today sir" he called and left an insanely long voicemail. This man doesn't care about your children or your personal boundaries. He only cares about his own ego and his bottom line. read more

My daughter is 5 and was introduced to Mr. Basche at the ymca karate program. At 1st she was intimidated, but with a little encouragement she has broken new ground personally in a very short time. I could not speak highly enough or use any amount of superlatives to describe how inspirational and effective Mr. Basche is with children of any age. I honestly feel motivated as a father and in my personal life every time I listen to his instructions to his students. Your child will benefit socially as well as personally with every class they attend, and you will receive motivation and perspective simply by listening to Mr. Basche. I am so thankful to have stumbled into this great man. read more

Our family has been with Basche's Martial Arts for almost two years. My daughter was first to join and my husband joined this year after realizing his passion for martial arts. Sensei Basche is very professional and strives to provide the best possible training in all aspects of the art. He expects full dedication, respect, and 100% effort from his advanced students, resulting in a wonderful group of students which are constantly growing and reaching goals. Sensei is loved and appreciated by his students. He has a soft spot for giving back to community and goes out of his way to help a student in need of special attention. This studio is also great for the little ones. The younger students have a ton of fun while learning discipline and valuable information about self defense and fitness. We wouldn't think of going anywhere else for martial arts training. read more
