It's amazing to watch these kids come out of there shells. I could sit here all day and give you a millions of reasons/stories of people I have seen grow and overcome personal struggles. I have been to many different martial schools but this one right here is one in a trillion. If you looking for a adult class or kids class look no further.

My son has been training here for over a year. This is not just a dojo, but also a community. The…read moresenseis really care about their students. From day one they call every student by their name. They work with every student on an individual level - challenging some, building confidence in others - knowing just what the student needs at that particular time. This dojo has taught my son so many things in just one year: coordination, confidence, self control, pride in accomplishments, how to accept criticism, how to win and lose, how to follow directions, how to stand up for oneself or others, patience, persistence, and flexibility, balance, and strength. They develop the whole person. He has had so much FUN learning those things. Martial arts has really become a part of our son's identity and a great source of pride for him. This is not a dojo out to take your money and do the minimum. They do not have contracts. You just pay as you go and it is worth every penney. This dojo has already had such a positive influence on our son's life! Just check it out! Update: My son has now been there over two years. We are still very happy with the personal care he gets. He has had so much fun training and competing in tournaments (and winning some, not others), learning martial arts forms, weapons, and discipline. He also loves playing dodgeball (with soft foam balls) and other games the senseis use to train the younger children. We love the drop off movie nights where the senseis watch the kids, have a movie night and have a pizza party while the parents go on a date! The kids love seeing their karate friends and senseis in street clothes! There are so many nice families here. I also love the convenience of running into Dave's for a few things while my son is training! Very convenient!

A tournament maybe. It happened each time. Barely could get a word in edgewise to say we're not members. Absolutely horrible experience. We found a different studio that is incredible. It is filled with other parents who had similar experiences at Mastery. Definitely a major red flag. Stay away, they care more about the money than the skills they teach

Our son started training at Mastery a little over a year ago and it has been one of the best…read moreinvestments ever made! When we started, our son struggled a bit with sportsmanship. Losing at anything was a very hard thing for him. Focus was also extremely difficult. We didn't realize the impact of his training with Mastery until he participated in a Mastery competition shortly after he started. He tried his absolute best and did great...however, he did not win any medals. Instead of getting frustrated or reacting negatively, he fist bumped the winners and congratulated them. We left soon after with him smiling, laughing and simply happy! This meant so much to us! We have watched so much growth since and are incredibly proud of how hard he works! Mastery is so much more than "just" martial arts. They teach core values that our children aren't learning outside of our home. From birthday parties, to summer camp, to family events, to tournaments and so much more....we have developed amazing relationships with other families and our son has created lifelong friends that have the same mindset and determination as my son. We are grateful for this special experience for our son and look forward to his journey to black belt with the Mastery team!!
