My 9 year old son has been enjoying taking lessons at this academy for a few months. This is my…read moreonly exposure to martial arts, so I can not compare my experience. However, I can tell you that my son loves it. He is focused and engaged for the entire lesson and retains what he is learning. The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. What I love the most so far is that respect is expected, discipline is required, the students are to do their best. The instructors will hold firm to the manner in which things are done. If the student is wrong in form or discipline then correction will follow. The student will correct himself and then there is always a smile and a good job or some kind of encouragement to the student. I see more jovial smiles in the two days that I am here a week than I do collectively during the rest of the week. In this manner the student is learning correctly in a positive and encouraging environment. I truly believe that the Brnich ' s have the students best interest at heart. I pass several other karate studios to take my son to this academy. I feel that the quality of skills and the character of the instructors are well worth the drive.

Mackenzie's Martial Arts has been incredible for our children. When they first started attending…read morealmost 3 years ago, they were all going through some major things in their lives and their involvement at this karate school really helped them get through it. They have grown not only in their Taekwondo skills, but also in their confidence, social/speaking skills, and overall fitness. My husband now attends the adult classes as well. Grandmaster MacKenzie has truly cultivated something so special here both in class and in the community it offers. Both he and the instructors are passionate about what they teach and train their students to be the best they can be in all aspects of their lives. Highly recommend!

My son is a returning Goddard kid. He spent the summer there this year after he transitioned to a…read morepublic school PreK program last year. Prior to that he was at Goddard from 5 months until 3 years old. We have always loved Goddard and this summer was no different. The admin staff, the teachers and the owner Pallovi are all so welcoming, professional, kind and caring with not only the children but the parents as well. Any concerns you have, Pallovi takes it serious and addresses it right away. The teachers go above and beyond for the kids and my son had an amazing summer there this year. We love our Goddard family and would absolutely recommend them for your little ones... 10/10.

My son has recently flourished in the toddler one room with Ms. Nicole and I have noticed massive improvements in his speech and vocabulary. The teachers care about their kids a ton. The school also gets regular updates to the building. There are nice events put on by the staff too. This school is on the expensive side, but, I do feel like I get what I pay for because of the curriculum and investment the teachers make into my son.

Around 9 months currently, with my son advancing to yellow, then orange and now purple. The format of the white-red kids class: Bow in Mention of life skill they are focusing on (confidence, leadership, etc) Quick warmup Learn or review a specific skill or self defense skill Story that relates to the life skill of the week ( Kata practice (everyone is learning a nunchuck kata which is really cool to see). Sometimes this is only for the advanced/black belt leadership students but they nunchucks for everyone recently. Announcements Bow out The class moves quickly which is great for my son, it keeps him really engaged. Some other classes we tried had a really long warm up which was hard for him to engage in. Also, Action has at least two instructors on the Zoom if not more. If the class is hybrid (online and in person) there are instructors in studio who demonstrate for both the zoom and in class students. There are also a set of instructors that are remote and focus on the Zoom students. For the zoom students they will spotlight different kids so that the instructors can give comments and also give the kids some confidence (my son tries his best when he's spotlighted!). Action seems to also be tweaking this recipe based on feedback, I think separating the remote students from the in person so each group has more focus from the instructors. The focus on life skills like motivation, confidence, helping your family, etc is really great for kids, it's a nice well rounded approach and also breaks up the time into different chunks. We are in California, so the timing is a bit difficult since the classes range from 1pm pacific to 335 pacific pacific depending on the weekday. Our current remote school schedule ends synchronous instruction around 2pm so we are currently able to attend 3 classes a week. My son really enjoys Action Karate and I've seen good changes in him over the past 9 months

On behalf (and as an extension) of the Ramsdell Family, I have to give Mr. Brenner and Mr. McQuade…read morethe biggest high five and Bao Quan. As a fellow educator, I'm not whistling Dixie when I say these gents are the real deal. They mastered a huge class of kiddos (seemed to be about 40-50 wee ones), all of whom were rapt with attention and respect. They knew each individual student, addressed them by name, and paired them well for exercises. They obviously had a clear lesson plan going into the class, and executed it seamlessly. Each student was motivated to work diligently for their own advancement, and you could tell that they all wanted to make their instructors proud. They also nailed the more intimate adult class that followed, with the help of one super awesome playlist of tunes. They are also both very personable gents. Mr. Brenner came up to me the moment he saw me. He was welcoming, made direct eye contact, offered a firm hand shake, and was sincere. Mr. McQuade is cool, calm, and collected. Friendly chap. And both even made the time to come to my niece's show that afternoon. Lastly, I was blessed to witness a Belt Ceremony, which happened to be for a rather shy student. Mr. McQuade was nurturing and encouraging as he helped the young man recite their motto, and everyone - students and parents alike - ushered the lad into his White Belt stage in supportive, celebratory cheering. It really doesn't get better than this welcoming, warm, encouraging school offering quality education and self-discipline. Any age and body type are welcome, without judgment. Sign up now!
