My memory became sharper and I felt much happier in general. Dr. Ling is continuously teaching and helping his students get better and enjoy the health (mind and body) and the martial side of this rich art. There are not many instructors that possess such a mastery and awareness of martial arts as Dr. Ling. There are so many aspects integrated into the program to help one grow in a healthy and strong manner. The people that attend the classes are wonderful and from various walks of life. Definitely a winner to be experienced and signup for the long term! My only regret is not signing up sooner!

My kids have been attending IMA since fall 2014. This has been an amazing place for them to learn…read morekarate and grow as individuals. We have been blessed to be part of this "family" that extends beyond the owners and instructors. We've become friends with the other parents in my kids' classes. The people that send their children here are amazing as well. They actually care about you and your family. When they ask "How are you?" they want more than just the standard "Fine, and you?". My husband and I are also students at IMA. They have evening programs available for adults who want to learn and are understanding that things come up in life, sometimes making it difficult to regularly attend classes. They strive to reach and benefit the whole family.The Paul family has done an amazing job creating an environment that promotes the ideals of karate not only in classes, but in their dojo, and outside in the community. The after-school program is also amazing. Indiana Martial Arts provides transportation from local schools to the dojo, helps with homework, provides a snack, and the kids get to do their karate class all before 6pm. As a working parent, this has been a lifesaver. It has helped to free up time in the evenings for things like dinner and family time. In addition to the after-school program, Indiana Martial Arts partners with parents and teachers to ensure that the students are doing their best not only at the dojo but at home and school. Before being able to test for the next level, school-age students are required to have their parents and school teacher sign a form saying that the student is giving their best effort at school and at home. If the student's form is returned and either the parent or the school teacher does not feel that the student is giving their best effort, they are not allowed to test for the next karate level. However, that's not the end. Often, a meeting will take place with the parents and/or student to find out what's going on outside of karate that is causing them to not give their all. Indiana Martial Arts is so much more than a karate school - it's like a second home to us, as well as many other families. I can honestly say that the people we've met and the experiences we've gained since being part of IMA have positively impacted our lives and continue to do so every day.

We have people in Tae Kwon Do, Isshinryu, and others that have come to augment what they already know by including the use of pressure points in their techniques, making what you have even more affective.

Neither my husband nor I ever took karate, so we were not sure what to expect. Sensei Ken Piper quickly accommodated us and spent an hour with us describing the program and costs, and then provided a demo lesson to show our son what would be expected during a class. Our son loved it so much we signed him (and his older brother) up. Both have been attending for nearly a year now and are now orange belts. We appreciate that not only are they learning various forms of karate (basics, sparring, kata), but they are also learning self-discipline and respect. They have taken the lessons from the dojo to their classroom and home. Pricing is very affordable, especially for parents considering joining along with their children. Packages are available from 1 lesson a week to unlimited classes. Special add-on lessons (weapons and seminars) are also available. The schedule is very convenient with evening and Saturday classes. Beginners can move through their first few belts within their first year which is encouraging. The Senseis are very patient with all ages and abilities, and a typical class usually has a diverse group of 10-15 students ages 7 years old to 50. Safety and hygiene are also emphasized, especially mid-pandemic. The facility is good and there is plenty of space for classes and overflow seating for spectators. The studio recently remodeled their waiting area. The studio's goal is for every student to reach Black Belt within a few years, so we hope to stay that long!

My wife and I decided to let her do some trial classes nearby at Mr. Piper's Family Karate Academy. All of the instructors we met were very kind and respectful. It was instantly visible that all of the kids looked up to and respected the staff at this school! The classes were fun and my daughter always enjoyed attending. She never fussed about going to class. Not even once! Which speaks volumes for a 4 year old! They do a great job teaching respect, discipline, manners, being humble... etc. (the whole karate thing!) I started my own martial arts journey nearly 14 years ago at another karate school in my hometown of Mooresville, IN. Not to the fault of Mr. Piper or any of his instructors, I ultimately made the personal decision to resume classes (now with my daughter) at my hometown dojo. I would like to thank Mr. Piper for re-igniting the passion I once had for martial arts by enthralling my daughter into the karate lifestyle!
