He has gained more focus, attention, and is following along quite well. The instructors are top notch and they take the time to make sure each student understands the moves and routines. My son is excited to go to every class and is really enjoying it. Great for discipline, focus, and character building, not just for self defense!

We tried three other dojos with our five year old before settling on APSK. Even with kids as young…read moreas my daughter APSK teaches actual martial arts skills not just playing around. The classes always go for a full hour with no time wasted getting organized beforehand etc. The student/teacher ratio is appropriate and even with a big class they have enough instructors around so that my kid won't spend most of the class waiting for her turn. APSK is setup so that multiple skill levels can come to class on the same days at the same time. If you have siblings both enrolled they can take class together rather than having to wait through each other's class. APSK teaches the full package. They work life lessons into the program and try to demonstrate proper discipline, responsibility and respect along with defense techniques. My daughter isn't a discipline problem but I still really appreciate the extra help and lessons that have been part of her training. ASPK isn't just a karate class for my daughter. It's a community of role models and friends that she loves hanging out with. They have holiday and birthday parties, they offer after school and summer programs, they interact with parents, and they are the best options if your looking to get your kids (or yourself) into martial arts.

Amazing Sensei, great training, and I've heard his comp team does amazingly well…read more The only two things that are a huge challenge for our family are: 1. Sensei keeps switching the schedule weekly or monthly, therefore our family, having many other commitments can't make it to class, I've never heard of any academy that changes schedules so much, so often. Our other children (we have 5) have all been in martial arts for years without a single change in schedule. Pandemic is over, not sure why it keeps changing, and they oftentimes tell us the day of, or the day before, or that week, when we have our whole month planned out. Keep the schedule as is and don't change it, please! 2. Neighborhood doesn't feel safe at all, run-down shopping center... Other than that, amazing Sensei!

Our little one now four has learned to follow directions, can count to 20 in Japanese, he can recite and understand the Dojo Kun. Renshi has helped and guided him by building up his confidence, rewarding a good job, and be patient in her explanation of new techniques. She teaches her class with a "you can do it attitude". She makes learning fun for the kids while still teaching the basics of karate.

I stopped here to check on pricing, progresses, and their belt program…read more We currently take my girlfriend's son to a different place and based on what I see sometimes with belt promotion, I sometimes wonder about the validity of their program. I want our guy to advance and promote through the belts but I also want him to be legit. Unfortunately they were closed and I wasn't sure of the setup as I checked it through the front doors but o will call them during the week to get the info I need.

Not only are they knowledgable in their sport, but all of the instructors are family. And when you lesson with them you feel as if you are part of their family too. Dianne Price is a superb teacher to the young ones, and made my shy son feel at ease immediately - which is rare for him. We have been going to Price's for over a year now and love it so much that we have signed our son up for the black belt commitment. We would recommend this facility for any age and any level.

They are learning how to defend themselves, gaining more confidence, practicing self discipline, and much more. My 14 year old is also in the ATA Legacy Instructor Training Program which teaches leadership skills that will be used her entire life. My 9 year old loves the positive discipline he receives. He thrives off of being built up by his team but also enjoys building up others. I joined about six months after my kids because Sr. Master Healey started a Mom's Club. It was life changing. Not only for my health but, also for my family. It brought us closer together because we were doing things as a family. No matter how hard we try as parents I think we all lack something somewhere. Healey's Legacy Master Martial Arts has helped fill that gap. I can't thank Mr. and Mrs. Sr. Master Healey enough. They (including Mr. Healey, Master Orvis, and Master Mckersie) are so passionate about what and how they teach. They are all amazing instructors! Very seldom can you find this kind of value. I/we are so blessed to be a part of this family (school).
