After trying Max Academy's homeschool martial arts class with our co-op, my son was hooked and…read moredecided he wanted to continue training more seriously, so we were thrilled to have Forge open recently right down the street! The instructors are all fantastic at giving the perfect combination of challenging training and encouragement and we love that they focus on character development off the mat along with technique and execution on the mat. It's clear that they love what they do and are passionate about sharing it with the kids and adults that attend their classes. The facility is always immaculately clean and there's always a great friendly vibe from the kids and parents waiting as well. Our family couldn't be happier to have joined the Max Academy family!

Just like that saying "it takes a village" this is how we have felt from day one, the instructors…read morehave focused not only on teaching excellent martial arts skills, but also on building discipline, respect, confidence, kindness, and community! Sensei Daniel and Sensei Gabe genuinely care about every student and create a supportive environment where children are encouraged to work hard. One of the things we appreciate most is that this school teaches children that true strength comes from self-control, humility, and helping others--not intimidation. If you're a parent looking for an activity that builds character, confidence, resilience, and leadership while keeping your child active and engaged, It has been one of the best decisions we've made and wish we had enrolled sooner! Also the community of families that bring their children here are incredible and respectful!

My son joined Max Academy Edge when they first opened and I'm so glad we found them. He's learned…read moreso much and gained so much more confidence, it's been a complete shift in his personality since joining. They don't just teach how to use your body in self-defense, but they also teach leadership, how to use your voice to speak up and advocate for yourself and others, they teach how to be kind and inclusive and they also have so much fun. Sensei Daniel and Sensei Gabe are thee absolute best and such great role models for the kids. Also love when Sensei Adam comes to visit! All of the Senseis and Ms Ashley at the front desk know everyone by name, even the parents and it feels like a true community when you step into the studio. Highly recommend joining, these are skills for life, not just on the mat.

The academy is clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. During the class observation, we noticed they had enough coaches for the students, which was great because it showed the kids were getting good attention and guidance. They also have plenty of chairs for parents to sit and wait comfortably. The walking space was a little small, but it wasn't a big issue. Overall, it was a very nice experience. We're really excited for my son to get started and be part of the program. Looking forward to seeing him learn and grow here!

I like the fact they have the kids do homework before the karate lessons which teaches the kids responsibility and how to prioritize what is important. They also teach them to be more convenient and they have to work hard if they want to move to another level which instills integrity. They do pick up the kids from some school locations which is helpful for the working parents. I am very happy with this facility , staff and programs.

I understand its another way to make money for your business but parents should have the responsability to remember when to pay their childs class. other then that the school is incredible i would recomend it to anyone!! the whole set up is clean,new and full of respect!

My daughter has been coming here for over a year and we both absolutely love it! She started off as…read morea Tiger and is now a Stingray, and in that time, she has tested her way up to orange belt. Let me be clear; belts aren't given away here, they're earned. If you're looking for a martial arts studio that takes the art of Shaolin Kenpo dead serious but also knows how to make it fun to learn, this is your new home! Throughout the year, they celebrate the holidays by hosting events both at the studio and out at other places. They volunteer in the community. They continuously recognize hard work inside and outside the classroom through the presentation of awards and merit badges. CMAA is truly raising champions!

That's how amazing this place is. 10th Planet Oakley is more than just a jiu-jitsu gym -- it's a welcoming community that truly feels like family.

Each class begins with a short piece of biblical wisdom and he incorporates lesson on respect throughout the class, , often drawing from traditional Japanese customs. It's an excellent element of learning respect that the kids would otherwise only get from travelling to Japan. The classes are a perfect mix of fun and structure: kids start with play, then move into cardio, stretching, technique, and even get to test their skills in mini sparring sessions. Mr. Jason is truly an excellent teacher--engaging, encouraging, and full of knowledge and expertise in judo. Judo itself has been amazing for our daughter. It's helped her develop discipline, efficient movement, and real-world problem-solving skills. And as a close-contact, non-striking martial art, it gives her tools to manage conflict with control and confidence with no punches or kicks needed, which is what gets kids expelled from school. All this and the Scholars Academy is truly remarkable. It isn't just a martial arts dojo - it's an athletic community of good kids and amazing influential instructors. We love it! Highly recommend!
