Every school has it's strengths, but Martingilio's undeniably has the best self-defense in town. Master Chris brings a depth of knowledge to the school not only from his 30 years of experience and almost that long teaching, but also by offering optional seminars taught by other experts in their art. His school also has the longest staying power for adult black belts. At Martingilio's the 1st - 3rd degree Black Belts continue to learn because of Chris' 7th degree and because of the unique resource of having an active world renowned 9th Degree who trains at the dojo and offers classes.

He has also gone above and beyond to keep the community of his colleagues and trainees focused, motivated, and working together during the Covid-19 crisis, for which we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you, Master Chris, for being there for us and for guiding us along the way towards true combat-applicable martial arts expertise.

Karate, in general, has helped our son with his focus, respect and discipline (as well as his performance in school). Not that he was a bad kid to begin with, but everyone can use a little help, right? We are not sorry we took this path. Infinity has a terrific bunch of teachers - from the owner on down, they are dedicated to helping each individual in class. They have a positive attitude and the kids really like and respect their instructors. I enjoy watching from the viewing area - it's impressive what these folks do and what these kids learn... The graduation ceremonies are nice ways to recognize each person's achievement. There are also demonstrations by the instructors to help remind the kids where they are headed. I have two recommendations from this: 1) If you're thinking about karate for your child (or yourself - they have adult classes too!), try it! The results are great! 2) For #1, see Infinity Martial Arts. They care, and they're great! FYI: New address is: ================= 8233 Forsythia St. Middleton, WI 53562

The instructors do a really good job with mixing up the class with activity and philosophy. There's also a word of the month where they go through what it means and how it applies to every day life (Determination, Cooperation, Charity, etc...) While I'm not sure how good their adult program is, I really like the structure of their lil' ninjas program. It offers little milestones each week and testing every couple of months. It builds discipline in the kids. My kid is already answering me with "Yes sir" at home. Pricing is fair especially since there are four classes per week and you can attend all of them if you have time. Also, if you have multiple kids, they only charge for the first two. Everyone else in the family after that is free (including parents). The school is clean and bright. It seems to be a well run school. If you're looking for something for your kid to build teamwork and discipline (ages 4-7), I highly recommend their lil' ninjas program.
