My son will be turning 7, and thought it's time for him to explore a sport. After offering several…read moreoptions, he opted for martial arts. We signed up for several trial classes with different methods, but none he seemed too excited about. After his trial at JM Arts Academy, I instantly saw the spark in his eye and said to me, "this one mom! I like this one". Sifu's are fun, they connect with the children but still implementing respect and authority!

He will observe his environment before jumping in and Sifu does not pressure him but makes him feel comfortable to join. He is incredibly patient with him and gives him the confidence he needs. I absolutely love this class and so does my son! He is just now showing us his moves at home and is getting more confident practicing (it's been about 8 lessons). I'm so happy we found this studio and look forward to staying here as well as enrolling my other son in a few years!

The instructors are pretty phenomenal. The studio is well-organized, clean and welcoming. Everybody trains hard, they have fun and they build genuine community. The instructors are genuinely invested in the success of all their students. And it shows.

Seifu Mario is wonderful with the children and achieves a beautiful balance between building genuine relationships with kiddos, while also commanding their respect, focus and discipline. Seifu manages a class full of 4-7 year olds with such ease, keeps the class running smoothly and quickly, and checks in individually with students to keep them progressing in their own KungFu practice. The studio is clean and organized and it's clear that Seifu is truly passionate about what he does as shown through his style, interactions with children and parents.

My son started with 5 Elements when they offered it at his school as an after school program. He…read moreloved instructor Nathan, and loved doing Kung Fu! Nathan personally reached out to me and let me know that he thought my son would benefit from joining classes on a regular basis at the studio. I spoke to him about my son having issues focusing and sitting still in class (he was 5 at the time) and he said Kung Fu would be perfect for him. He has been doing Kung Fu for almost 4 years now and his behavior, concentration, and focus have improved so much. We love all of the instructors there. They are all so wonderful with the kids, very patient, and diligent. They send monthly newsletters to keep the parents informed, offer camps during school breaks, and hold fun events such as bowling and beach days to keep everyone involved and having fun. I highly recommend 5 Elements!!! Also - during this time where they have not been able to have the studio open, they have been very active virtually! They send emails with new information, as well as reminders about the zoom classes they are offering. I love that my son can still learn and practice from home.

Grand Master Conniry has been teaching here since 1968. I first started my training with my son back in 2001and unfortunately had to move for work in 2005. I tried other places and never enjoyed training the way I do here. I was fortunate enough to be able to return to studio this year ,18 years later and pleased to see the same principles taught under leadership of Grand Master Conniry. For me personally, returning had more to do with health reasons. I leave class with a great workout and a sense of accomplishment. There are many life long principles taught here and a safe place for the whole family. Pricing is also extremely affordable. You owe it to yourself if you are interested in martial arts to check it out.

So far, everyone I've met there has been patient and respectful.

Parents can view the class on a zoom link from the comfort of your car, or if your kid takes hours of lessons and you just drop off, the comfort of your home. I will update in a few months with what we've learned :)

I asked if they had a water station, which I was given attitude as well for asking this question. It's as if a water station is not a normal thing at a work out studio so I don't understand the attitude in the response. They probably wanted me to buy their water which I can understand, however it was the attitude given to me that bothered me. I took a break outside of the class and there were other girls outside taking a break as well, indicating that they had empty water bottles and the heat was too much for them but they didn't have any water. I gave more stars than I wanted because of the instructor, Sam. She was so nice and accommodating and I loved her energy. She checked in on the people taking breaks, I appreciated her teaching the class!

After going about three to four times with my fiancé, I realized I loved the environment. Mikenzi, who already knew our names, helped us correct our posture during class.

Everyone in the front is incredibly friendly, at least during my visits. I'm completely new to yoga, and when I took my first class, I was quite nervous because I had limited experience with the Bikram method. However, Maho took her time at the beginning of class to explain it to me, and even after class, she spoke to me to provide feedback and answer any questions I may have had.
