My whole family started training at Tersak's within the last year, starting with my 3 (now 4) year…read moreold son, then my 5 (now 6) year old daughter. Yesterday, a close family friend commented that he has noticed a significant growth in confidence, composure and maturity in my 2 kids since he first met them last summer. We train at least 2 days a week. During each class for every age group, there is a character lesson of the week. Lessons like, how to make a SMART goal, how to be gracious receiving Christmas gifts you already have or don't want, trick or treating safety, what to do if someone bullies you, etc. I love that all of these life skills are immediately applicable. I love that training at Tersak's is more than karate and self defense, it is also leadership and character building. A few months after both kids started training, I joined in. My husband followed 2 months later. Now we do the Open Family class together every Saturday morning (along with tons of other families). I also train in Adult class 1-3 times per week. I am building adult friendships for Me. I am honing my body for Me. My kids can see me as an example of consistency, dedication and doing hard things. And, we spend family time together doing something active and without screens. Two of my favorite "extracurricular" karate events at Tersak's were Family Board Breaking Night and the Spring Tournament. I also really enjoy the festive events like Trunk or Treat and Easter Egg Hunt! The people here are good people. I am so thankful the Abitria family told me to check out this dojo. Here are friends I will be keeping long term!

Master LaMasters and Master Williams have been extremely accommodating to allow us to train with our kids, and our kids to train together despite being at different age and skill levels. As the parents we've been able to assist the kids in class, but also learn for ourselves different MMA techniques for self defense. And from the kids' perspective, they've gained a ton of confidence in their own strength and abilities. The days we can't make it in person, we're able to attend online so we don't miss any classes. They also offer online only memberships so our family and friends that are not local are able to train with us too! There's so many cool events as well like "ninja nights", aka parents night out, so we can drop the kids off once a month and enjoy a date night or some kid-free self-care. They've also started doing cosmic dojo parties, light saber classes, family game nights and so much more so we can come together as a community and enjoy great company. I highly recommend joining underground fitness! We're not only a community that bonds over wellness and self defense, but we've all become a family that is constantly growing and encouraging each other to be the best we can be!

What do you want out of a martial art? Do you want to fight, do you want to be healthier, or do you…read morewant to understand yourself better? In my small inclination that a martial art would be beneficial to my life, I wanted a blend of all those things and be able to continue my practice way into my eighties. I was lucky enough to find Atlantic Warriors and Sifu Petree. I have been a student for five years, and there has not been one lesson, training regimen, or instruction that was not logical, efficient, or moved me closer to my goals. In my limited understanding of martial arts, it appears that many people prioritize appearance over capabilities. Substance and consistency are what I look for in my life. With Atlantic Warriors, there is no wasted movement or lesson; everything Sifu Petree teaches progresses you forward at your current level. There is something for everyone. I have come to understand myself and my body better in the last five years than I have in my entire life combined. I am fortunate and eternally grateful to have found a place that focuses on me and my martial arts goals. To achieve something great, it takes time and effort. If the determination can be found and the time spent, the rewards are immense. Atlantic Warriors is for individuals who are unafraid of hard work and have the ability to take instruction with an open mind. If you can do this, your world brightens each day.

After five months of group, on-line, and private lesson training with Sifu Petree (Atlantic Warriors Wing Chun), I feel fortunate to have found a genuine Wing Chun master level martial artist. His skill, understanding, and teaching ability of Wing Chun is off the charts. As evidence, his senior students are truly impressive. The depth of his knowledge seems almost unending. Sifu Petree's ability to explain the nuances of each movement, as well as, the when and why the movement is applied is truly refreshing. After each class, I have a new revelation of the inner workings of Wing Chun and what makes this art so effective. Sifu Petree's Wing Chun pedigree is impeccable, and I have no doubt that his Leung Sheung lineage instructors are very proud of his achievements.

She fought us and complained for literally only two classes, and then she did a total 180. She absolutely loves it, and her attitude at home and at school is so much better now!! Mr. Franco does an absolutely amazing job with the kids. They learn self confidence, respect and pride in every class. It doesn't matter if your child is a beginner or already has several belts - the class is geared towards making everyone feel comfortable and confident. I cannot thank Mr. Franco and the rest of the staff enough - we love how much our daughter has evolved in just a few short months. I highly recommend Karate America and look forward to how far my daughter will go on this journey!

There is plenty of fun, moderate to intense physical training and discipline without being overbearing. Kids are encouraged, but held accountable for their actions. Adults are trained and pushed according to their own level of conditioning. I started off in horrible physical condition, I hadn't worked out in several years, and can see significant improvement in the time I've been there. I looked at other places, and JAMA is a family environment focused on training, not dollars for belts. When you earn your black belt there, you have truly earned it. I have a blast going, it is truly the highlight of my day.
