My daughter started with Synergy Martial Arts right after she turned seven and now she is 13 with a…read morebrown belt. When we started, my wife and I weren't sure how things would turn out since we had our daughter in soccer and that was a disaster because she was completely unfocused. When our daughter started with Synergy, Sensei Linda and Sensei Bob were able to get her to finally focus on what she was doing. And with each belt, she matured more and more, to where now she helps instruct the class. She is also on their Demo Team, giving demonstrations at assisted living centers for senior citizens and other places. Sensei Bob has said that the karate school was a microcosm of the real world. And I think that is true. If you perform well, they let you know, and you advance. If you don't perform well, you don't automatically advance, but you are helped to improve. In soccer, my daughter got participation trophies for essentially nothing. She played with dolls and picked flowers for most of the games. At Synergy, she has had to earn each belt and has gotten true satisfaction from it. Synergy has also given my daughter the ability to defend herself. There have already been several occasions where she had to use some techniques on kids who were physically bothering her. Needless to say, that stopped. I do think it was helpful for my daughter that Sensei Linda was there as an instructor because it made her more comfortable as a girl doing karate. I attend Sensei Bob's weekly Krav Maga class because I am interested in self-defense and not being helpless if a bad situation arises. I travel a lot for work and Sensei Bob is able to accommodate my schedule. So after almost seven years of knowing Sensei Linda and Sensei Bob, I can wholeheartedly recommend Synergy Martial Arts.

Elite Martial Arts is the best karate school, really! My son, Andrew, began attending classes at…read moreage 6. Through the years he has learned responsibility, leadership & physical skills that has helped him in every other area of his life. He excels at every sport he tries, and I firmly believe the sills taught at EMA are directly responsible for this. He is an excellent student & has chosen nice friends, many from EMA actually. Andrew is now 15 & just earned his 2nd degree. He has spent time on other extracurricular activities but always comes back to EMA. I am very pleased with the school and highly recommend to anyone. Girls & boys both excel there.

Enrolling our son in Elite Martial Arts is one of the best things my wife and I have done for our son Thomas.

The facility is top notch with a floating wood floor and all of the equipment anyone could need for training. Sensei Mark is awesome and really knows his stuff! He's been studying for over 30 years and it shows. He's also a fantastic teacher for students of all ages from small children all the way up to senior citizens. Everyone is welcome to come and train. There's even a class for people who have physical or mental challenges. It's very welcoming and warm.

Master Brian and his fantastic staff have established a wonderful learning environment of Hapkido…read morefor beginners especially children . The staff themselves are wonderfully trained, confident and teaching Martial Arts for all the right reasons. We have 2 children (10 yo Girl and 7 yo boy) enrolled in their class and could not be more satisfied. With our daughter it was very important to us that they had female instructors to act as role models; and Madison and Katrina definitely fit this role. The staff are patient and take the time to teach the how and why behind the moves. They also stress the positives of Martial Arts. This is definitely a school that creates and nurtures self confidence and self esteem, not bullying. This is not a rushed program that just turns out belts. This is the place to come to first if you have children (especially young children) to learn. They even offer a free trial and once you experience Martial Arts done correctly and for the right reasons you will be hooked. At least come and check it out to see Antonio, Gabe, and Tyler get tossed around! We love this place!
